Europe season will be cut short. Both updated last week. https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Deployment/2025_2026/2025-2026_Deployment_Summary_Ship.pdf https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Deployment/2025_2026/2025-2026_Deployment_Summary_Destination.pdf Trying to understand this and struggling with it 🤪 How would this affect the Voyager sailings: 14n Rome to Dubai - November 3rd to 17th 2025 and 14n Dubai to Singapore - November 17th to December 1st 2025. (She then continues from Singapore to Brisbane but as we live in Perth it is just as easy for us to fly home from Singapore rather than Brisbane. We're also doing the Singapore to Brisbane in November this year on Quantum so didn't really need to repeat that sailing.) In your opinion would the above mean that one or both of these sailings would be cancelled? I booked both these Voyager sailings recently as a B2B (well, not that recent I guess - I booked them with Next Cruise at the start of our segment 3 sailing on the WC on Serenade back in mid May.) I'd appreciate any insight / speculation you could offer, thanks 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager would then pick up her normal cruises from 17 November 2025 Dubai to Singapore then to Brisbane. ( This is pure speculation ATM) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a wait & see I guess. I knew when we booked it that it would depend on current world events closer to the time. As we were on the segment of the WC that had to reroute around Africa we are somewhat familiar with the scenario. We did part of the reroute - Dubai to Cape Town but then hopped off & rejoined in Ravenna. I was just having trouble working out where it’s likely the change would occur from & then where it would get back on track. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was cancelked in 2023 and it was my double Pinnacle free cruise. There is no way anytime soon that the ships will go back to the Holyland. Israel unfortunately is a hot bed of terror. It will be years. I have friends that live in Israel and because I worked with him, our agreement is he Conyers me weekly. If I do not hear from him then I am to contact his family members that live here. His 17 year old daughter enlisted in the army there in combat. I was there when she was born. He is a Rabbi there in a university.. I cannot picture ships going on there for a long tome. We went to Bodrum and Cypress instead. Both turned out to be great ports. We used Tours by Locals and had the best excursions ever. I hope that things get better there and everyone gets to go there again. In the meantime I pray for peace.

CountryStyleMe Posted August 24 #3120 Share Posted August 24 the last booking availability I can see for Liberty Of The Seas's for 2025 on iglu cruises website is Canada and New England departing Cape Liberty on 14th October 2025 then Liberty Of The Seas is doing 3 night and 4 night cruises in the Caribbean until from 9th January 2026 - 27th March 2026. Anthem Of The Seas & Voyager Of The Seas will be doing Australia and New Zealand cruises between January - March 2026. (this information is DIRECT from Royal Caribbeans Website but Cruises departing from the Med, Northern Europe and Southampton in UK for 2026 have NOT and I mean have NOT been officially announced yet). Celebrity Infinity is doing the Med from departing from Athens in 2026. it looks like Celebrity Beyonds last appearance in the Caribbean will be at St Maarten in October 2026 until Celebrity Excel takes over.
