The 2008 Cruise Season: New Names, New Ships, New Features
In this issue, we feature three top names in cruising; Hurtigruten MS Fram: a familiar line with a new name, Carnival Splendor: a "Fun Ship" for European cruising, and Celebrity Solstice: a new ship of refined elegance. Bon Voyage!
Hurtigruten (formerly Norwegian Coastal Voyage) offers Antarctica expedition cruises that are second to none. Visiting the "white continent," even in the relative luxury of a modern ship, still feels like an expedition - and a rare privilege. Hurtigruten's MS Fram set sail in 2007 on a 66-day world cruise from the Artic to Antarctica. Hurtigruten's focus is expedition cruises that are second to none, but the MS Fram allows passengers to enjoy the luxury of a modern ship with amenities not always found on smaller ships. The MS Fram includes a comfortable restaurant, two well-stocked bars, panoramic lounges, Internet café, and a library with a selection of books about the polar regions. More about the MS Fram.
Carnival's Splendor is their newest, and most innovative ship ever! Setting sail in July 2008, the Splendor will dazzle cruisers with her central design idea of “Splendid Things,” - a celebration of the magnificent, lustrous and elegant. With a number of innovative features for cruisers young and old, the Splendor includes Carnival’s Seaside Theatre, a retractable Sky Dome, an expanded Camp Carnival and Cloud9 Spa. The largest in the “Fun Ship” fleet, the Splendor features 12 amazing itineraries to choose from - including their first-ever northern European cruise program! More about Carnival Splendor.
Setting sail in December of 2008, Celebrity Solstice is the newest of their Solstice-class of ships. The Solstice will feature an unrivaled statement of style and design through it's expansive decks and rich color palettes illuminated by beautiful, natural light. The Solstice will also offer extensive amenities and the attentive service for which Celebrity Cruises is renowned. Seven-night Eastern Caribbean itineraries are available starting in December 2008.
