India and Sri Lanka on Pursuit , November 21.

This cruise is shown as Pricing Unavailable on the AZ website however I know that this cruise's original itinerary was recently changed because of the Red Sea situation so, does anyone know if the cruise is actually  fully booked or just unavailable to book at the moment?

It’s impossible to say for certain but I would suspect that Azamara are waiting to see how many passengers booked on the original cruise decide to take the revised itinerary. Until then Azamara won’t know what inventory they have available to offer new passengers.

That's what I suspect. I'd be happy to book it so I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Thank you, I  had already found that post which is what made me think Azamara may open it for new bookings once the original passengers had made their decisions.

Just noticed this cruise is now open for new bookings for the revised itinerary.

I saw it because I was interested in taking it but, frankly I think it's a bit too expensive although I have no idea how much it cost originally! We were booked on a Silversea cruise which went from an 18 day to a 14 day cruise . We were offered a 20% reduction but we cancelled as the itinerary was no longer appealing. We noticed that the price of the reduced cruise increased considerably for new passengers. I guess cruise lines have to try to recoup their losses somehow.

Just had a look at the new prices for this revised itinerary. 

We were booked on it, but have cancelled because we did not like that so many of the ports we were interested in had been dropped and there were now 5 at sea days in a row at the beginning.

We paid NZ$23988 for 2 of us in a P3. Booked December 2023.

They are now asking NZ$27735 for the same. 

Interesting. That is quite a big increase!
