Canada Calling QUARTERLY MAKING THE MOST OF TIME ASHORE SEPTEMBER 2015 CANADAMarco Polo at 50 CALLING CARIBBEAN What's new for winter VIETNAM CULTURAL CRUISING River and ocean When the destination really counts DISCOVER HIDDEN DEPTHS TO YOUR FAVOURITE DESTINATIONS SMALL-SHIP CRUISING FOR CURIOUS MINDS If your idea of a holiday is to discover the charms of the Mediterranean, then our small-ship cruises are for you. In Venice, Voyages to Antiquity offer an exclusive, private evening visit to St Mark’s Basilica with special lighting illuminating the spectacular mosaics. This is one example of our special events across the Mediterranean; we also provide guided shore excursions and an on-board lecture programme. So you can truly discover the hidden depths to your favourite destinations.

Even in the short HELLO AND WELCOME space of time since our last issue, the world of cruising has seen all sorts of change, some good, some less so. The Gulf, for example, is making a massive comeback, with more and more lines basing ships there for winter, Thomson being the latest to announce a season of winter sun voyages for 2016/17. Cuba is still on a roll; in fact, if clients want to go there, a cruise may be the only way, as hotels are so full, which is good news for the cruise lines. Our thoughts are with Istanbul, which has lost some of its overnight cruise business due to political instability and, of course, with those in places like Tunisia whose livelihoods depend on tourism. The Mediterranean is certainly a different place nowadays. In this issue, we travel further afield, with a detailed update on what's new in the Caribbean for the coming season. We explore the Mekong river and the coast of Vietnam, and take a look at the rarefied world of cultural cruising and how best to sell it. We hope this issue inspires you and your clients and we welcome your feedback. Just email me any comments at the address below. Enjoy the magazine!

The 1,074-passenger Celestyal Nefeli will be delivered to Celestyal in February and refurbished before the 2016 cruise season. Celestyal Nefeli will replace Celestyal Odyssey, the charter agreement of which will be concluded at the end of October, and will embark passengers in Istanbul, Izmir and Kusadasi, as well as Greek ports. Celestyal Nefeli, like its predecessor, is small enough to dock in lesser- known harbours throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, a key part of the cruise operator's 'immersion' strategy. Since 2014, Celestyal has added 15 new destinations that include Milos, Ios, Kos, Samos, Symi, Chios, Cesme and Syros, all of them off the beaten track for cruising. 6 CRUISE PORTS & DESTINATIONS l SEPTEMBER 2015 cruise line news Visitors to Dubai last year - and Ports added by Celestyal in 2015 13m cruise lines are coming back 15 - how many do you know?

  • Carnival Corporation & Plc Orders New 68,500-Ton Cruise Ship For
    Carnival Corporation & plc Orders New 68,500-Ton Cruise Ship for AIDA Cruises Brand July 13, 2005 Third New 2,030-Passenger Vessel to Serve the Rapidly Expanding German Cruise Market Beginning in Spring 2008 MIAMI, July 13, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE: CCL; LSE) (NYSE: CUK) has ordered a 68,500-ton cruise ship for its AIDA Cruises brand, which caters exclusively to the German-speaking market, marking the third new ship order placed for its German cruise line in the past nine months. The 2,030-passenger vessel, which will be constructed by Germany's Meyer Werft shipyard at an all-in cost of euro 315 million, is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. It will be a sister ship to AIDA's two previously announced 68,500-ton cruise ships which will be built at Meyer Werft and are expected to enter service in April 2007 and April 2009. Like its sister ships, the new vessel will operate under AIDA's informal "club resort" cruise concept which is aimed at younger, more active vacationers and offers a host of on-board amenities and facilities. "With an expected passenger base of approximately one million by 2010, the German market is expanding at a very rapid pace. Ordering a third 68,500-ton 'club resort' newbuild for AIDA continues our European strategy of developing this fast-growing market by offering cruises with the most exciting, modern ships available for German vacationers," said Micky Arison, Carnival Corporation & plc chairman and CEO. AIDA Cruises revolutionized the German cruise market with the introduction of its first club ships in 1996.
