Well seeing as 2027 is (nearly) upon us (and people book cruises a LONG way in advance!) I present, for your delight, delectation and just general chit-chat:

We have just the one for 2027 - Southampton to Buenos Aires on Majestic Princess in October.

It will be our 4th cruise and the longest at 22 days with 5 days at sea on the trot as we head to Brazil from the Canaries. As long as the weather is good then I will be fine sitting on the balcony with a beer or three!

Just starting to try and plan what we will do in South America when we get there at the moment since we can’t agree on ideas and we can’t do everything!

Christ the Redeemer is simply stunning & the Iguazu Falls are fantastic too (take the wet boat ride!)

[CHLEMCBC]

We have two booked, both with Fred Olsen:

Bank Holiday Fjords of Norway - 5 nights from 28/08

Ancient Wonders of Turkey, Greece & Egypt - 12 nights from 23/11 (if anywhere over there has escaped being nuked by then)

Has anyone on the forum sailed with the Paul Gauguin line? I spent a couple of months in Tahiti and Bora Bora about ten years ago and would like to visit the French Polynesian islands again.
I’d be interested in any feedback if anyone has any experience of this particular company.
Cheers

Thanks - will be stopping in Rio en route so will be doing that. I am trying to persuade my wife to do the falls and more in Rio although she isn’t keen(don’t ask me why!) so now looking at Mendoza area.

Well I've bit the bullet on my first ever cruise....in a month's time believe it or not! Yes I know this is the 2027 thread, but as the most recent and active thread I may as well post here. I had booked up 11 days of AL from 20/11 to 03/12 expecting to be in the US for a few days or a week at my friends place in St Louis for Thanksgiving, however those plans have fallen through, so I've booked a 7 day cruise with Royal Caribbean from 22/11 to 29/11 in the Western Caribbean: Tampa > Mexico > Honduras > Belize > Mexico > Tampa.

Sailing on my own, and it was £820 for a guaranteed sea view cabin, so just over £120 a night which is very decent imo. Saved more money on the flight by going with Lufthansa/Discover via Frankfurt...£700 instead of the £1000 that BA and Virgin both wanted for direct flights.

I'm out to Grenada in February to join the Star Clipper for 10 days.

Have been asked to join a group on a P&O ship from Southampton up into the fjiords next September, that could be a bit of a contrast.

I quite fancy the Cunard Norway/Northern Lights trip in October.... anyone done it before?

[superpp]

Sun Princess in June for 10 nights Athens to Athens

P&O Britannia in November, down to the Canaries and Madeira from Southampton, 14 nights

Also have a P&O Ventura cruise already booked in Nov 28 :-)

Just booked Meraviglia for next summer, we've been on it before and really enjoyed it.

Southampton > at sea > Gijon > at sea > Cadiz > Malaga > Alicante > Ibiza > Tarragona > at sea > Casablanca > at sea > La Coruna > at sea > Southampton

Good mix of several places we haven't been before and a good number of sea days which I love.

we did Fred Olsen in January this year and loved it (the weather was rather 'poor' - left one port early, missed another! Spray was going over the top of the ship). Also did P&O a few years back up to Alta and Honnigsvag (had a blizzard on that one - loved it too!). If you've not been on Cunard before the 'afternoon tea' is a bit of fun, get there about 20 minutes early to get a nice seat.

Celebrity cruise booked over a year ago, March 2027 - Got 3 days in Singapore, get on cruiseship, 12 days to Vietnam, Thailand, China ending with another 3 days in Hong Kong.

Going with my best mate, will be second cruise, did Norway with P&O in June, loved it though kept hitting the drink limit. Celebrity apparently has no limit .

Got kayaking in Thailand and a waterfall walk booked so far and loading up on the linen
