Discovery Cruise Cancellations

[R&M]

I was on the Discovery World Cruises website this weekend and noticed the Red Sea cruise on which I was booked for 11/2007 was no longer listed. In fact all the Red Sea cruises were missing.

 

I called Discovery World Cruises today and was told ALL the Middle East cruies for 2007 were cancelled. There is still a Miiddle East cruise listed on the website, "North African Treasures" slated to sail on 11/23/07 but the person I spoke with said that cruise would also be cancelled.

 

I was told to expect mail notification of my cruise cancellation either today or tomorrow.

 

Apparently the Middle East cruises for 2006 are still sailing.

 

The political situation in the Middle East is the reason given for the cancellations.

Did she give any clue as to where the replacement cruises would be going?

The person stated the replacement cruises had not yet been selected.
