I’m a ‘ship’ half full kind of guy. Not half empty :-)

So the 54% would be all those already booked on previously cancelled trips, and now on these, so only another 50% ish to fill on general sale now. That looks pretty good to me!

They’ve only been on sale 6 hours.

Now on general public sale after offering to previously cancelled customers first ‘consolidation’ . Have a look next week Banbury...and I’ll also ask from the ‘inside next week see where we are. Far too early to tell.

Saga UK Cruises
Recommencing service 27th June
We are pleased to announce that Saga plan to re commence service on the 27th June 2021 with a series of UK cruises on board Spirit of Discovery and Spirit of Adventure.

As previously communicated, all passengers will be required to have the Covid 19 vaccine. To find out more about the policy click HERE

Saga's ‘coronavirus vaccine only’ travel policy means all their guests can go on holiday with peace of mind.
They offer a booking amendment option, just in case your customer's vaccine is delayed for instance.
Spirit of Discovery features the design cues, cuisine and levels of service you expect in the world’s finest boutique hotels. Along with her sister ship Spirit of Adventure, they are the only small ships built for the British market, offering a balcony for every guest and a choice of speciality restaurants. All backed by Saga's famous personal service and inclusive value.

FCO is for Foreign Travel/Waters. Whereas it will be in UK waters.

I just found this - Didn’t know there was a ‘Maritime Minister’?
The announcement – from Maritime minister Robert Courts – that domestic cruise sailings could restart from 17 May, was the first step

‘A say what a like, and I like wot a say’

Don’t forget these are from prices. So just the lowest possible, and on a particular date usually as well. So they can get around trading standards. Standard rooms, doesn’t include the more expensive cabins etc

Banbury - Yes 80% unless things change and allow more bookings. No detailed financials I’m afraid.

Only thing I can say is, being in the game, all holidays and cruise are between 15-20% higher than they would be had covid not happened.

Haha Rox. It’s happening, got some good news for you in 20 minutes!

Remember the Disco boat moored on the Tyne with the rotating dance floor? Tuxedo I believe?

Yeah....my gut is telling me once everyone has been juggled around/contacted etc there won’t be that many cabins left for general sale to be honest. And any spare cabins will be filled in days, if not a day?! Like I say, just my gut, but I’ll 100% guarantee every single cabin will be full when setting sail.

Thanks for sharing three, that pretty much sums it all. Get in while you can if not already DYOR. I’ve just confirmed another 2 UK cruises for this year with Fred Olsen.

P.s possible ‘cup and handle’ on the weekly chart??
