Change of itinerary for Athens to Dubai

[Old Sea Dog]

Just noticed that on the above cruise the port of Sharm El Sheikh has been removed so visit to Mount Sinai & St Catherines Monastery now impossible 

Has anyone on Cruise been advised by Crystal?

That is unfortunate as it was a great port for excursions and also for snorkeling and water activities.

We have a confirmed booking from Crystal dated early March 2023 and Sharm El Sheikh is not a port of call.   

 

Don't know if it ever has been.

My agent notified me of an itinerary change a month ago, but I can't remember what the change was, and I wouldn't have remembered Sharm El Sheik because it wouldn't have ever been a port I cared about.

FYI. Fabulous place. We stayed there for several days at the end of 3 week trip to Egypt. I’ve never seen it on a cruise itinerary

It together with Aden we’re on the very first itinerary for those who had paid 500Us

Both ports were of much interest especially to any British passengers.

Lots of Brits in Sharm el  Sheik - I recall -- popular vacation spot

Really?

 

Looking over 2024 and 2025, I see:

 

Seabourn

MSC

P & O

Holland America

Windstar

Viking

Silversea

Azamara

 

All stopping at Sharm El Sheikh.  Guess the word is out!

I never noticed it --I only would have looked at Seabourn and Silversea.  It is a beautiful place
