Quantum schedule is sad!

Not even enough time to enjoy the whole ship, especially for first timers to Quantum class 😕

I've got a couple Navigators booked for 2025 but nothing from the 25/26 deployment.  And nothing on Quantum.  I was really hoping for something new with this deployment. I'd have taken nearly anything.  This is sad.

Athens (Piraeus), Greece - Port Bookings (Correct as of 12/07/24)

Lots of bookings for Explorer and Brilliance in 2026. There is no standard calling pattern for either ships, but the likelihood of it being a copy and paste from 2025 is high in my opinion.


2026:

20th May - Explorer OTS

26th May - Explorer OTS

 

1st June - Brilliance OTS

2nd June - Explorer OTS

8th June - Brilliance OTS

9th June - Explorer OTS

17th June - Explorer OTS

23rd June - Explorer OTS

30th June - Explorer OTS

 

8th July - Explorer OTS

13th July - Brilliance OTS

14th July - Explorer OTS

20th July - Brilliance OTS

21st July - Explorer OTS

28th July - Explorer OTS

 

4th August - Explorer OTS

12th August - Explorer OTS

18th August - Explorer OTS

24th August - Brilliance OTS

25th August - Explorer OTS

31st August - Brilliance OTS

 

1st September - Explorer OTS

9th September - Explorer OTS

15th September - Explorer OTS

22nd September - Explorer OTS

30th September - Explorer OTS

 

5th October - Brilliance OTS

6th October - Explorer OTS

12th October - Brilliance OTS

13th October - Explorer OTS

20th October - Explorer OTS

Explorer looks fairly similar to her 2025 schedule, and Brilliance's pattern is exactly the same as what Voyager is doing in 2025, which could be another sign that Voyager is actually going to the Pacific.

I wonder if they upgauge the Seward/Vancouver route with Voyager to Alaska with the new Seward port slated to be done in time for the 2026 Alaska season.

 

Any Voyager Class ship to Alaska would be the stupidest decision ever. They already tried with Explorer 2017-2019 and it was a fail. An inner focused ship with barely any windows to look out (other than the Viking Crown) and a wide open pool deck, sports deck and open Solarium. Also can't fit under the Lion's Gate bridge, so no option to go to Vancouver like Q Class is able to.

Maybe a Quantum ship then, as that's what the new Seward dock was spec'd out for.

Good call... or maybe the soon to be built in 2042 Discovery of the Seas with only 1000 occupancy, and introductory price of $500 per person for a 12 night sailing.

It’s supposed to be ready for the 2026 season.

 

Could a voyager class be home ported in Vancouver?

I believe Quantum have trouble getting under a bridge there.

Worked for us. Being on the Flowrider (alone) during sailaway from Juneau was pretty nice. 

 

Haha! Ah yes, a couple out of 3000 outdoors. The rest of the 2998 people all sitting on each others lap in the Viking Crown or walking up and down aimlessly in the Promenade. Perfect 😉

If Alaska 2026 does get 3 Quantum Ships in 2026 they will have to use Ovation or Spectrum and replace it with a bigger ship in China.

Odyssey does have port bookings in St Maarten after Europe 2026. 

That might bring an Oasis or Icon into the Pacific equation.

A L.N.G powered ship split between Sydney ,Singapore and Shanghai.

Shoot some of my currently Booked Cruises now are $500 just for Port Taxes/Fees
