And if you're looking for high-end sailing to unique destinations, I'd suggest avoiding Royal Caribbean's mega-ships. Brittany Chang/Business InsiderAccording to its current expansion plan, by 2028, about a third of Royal Caribbean's fleet will consist of mega-ships. Wonder of the Seas (left) and Icon of the Seas (right) both have Sorrento's, a complimentary grab-and-go pizza shop. If you plan on cruising with your children — and if they, like me, love activities like rock climbing and mini-golfing — Royal Caribbean's mega-ships could be your best option. After all, like most of Royal Caribbean's largest vessels, both Icon and Wonder are exclusively sailing in the Caribbeans.

Its newest Oceania Vista ship, which debuted in May 2023, is at the higher end of the range with a 1,200-guest capacity. Regent Seven Seas Cruises — the true ultra-luxury optionThe Seven Seas Grandeur's pool was surrounded by several hot tubs.

These are the cruise ships with the best and worst sanitation report cards in 2023 so far. There's nothing like a stomach virus to ruin your vacation, as hundreds of cruise ship passengers have unfortunately learned this year. "People often associate cruise ships with acute gastrointestinal illnesses such as norovirus, but acute gastrointestinal illness is relatively infrequent on cruise ships," the CDC explains on its website. In the past 10 years, only three other cruise ships have received sanitation scores below 70, CDC records show. These are the cruise ships with the highest and lowest sanitation scores so far this year:The 15 cruise ships with perfect scores of 100The majority of cruise ships have received CDC sanitation scores in the high nineties this year.

☆ Norwegian Cruise 2023 profit forecast falls short; shares slide
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-28 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

Feb 28 (Reuters) - Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NCLH.N) forecast for its first annual profit in three years fell short of estimates on Tuesday, as the cruise operator battles soaring fuel and labor costs. Shares fell about 7% in premarket trading after the company's first-quarter loss expectation was bigger than expected. The cruise operator forecast an adjusted profit of 70 cents per share for 2023, compared with estimates of $1.06, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. However, affluent passengers unaffected by high inflation have boosted booking volumes and occupancy rates, helping the company beat fourth-quarter revenue estimates. The "wave season" is the period during January - March where cruise operators offer special deals and discounts for the year to attract customers.

☆ Компания Norwegian Cruise Line планирует возобновить круизы из США

Американский круизный оператор Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. сообщил, что направил письмо в Центр по контролю и профилактике заболеваний США (Centers for Diseas Control and Prevention, CDC) с планом по возобновлению морских круизов из портов США с 4 июля. Компания собирается обслуживать только пассажиров, привившихся от коронавируса, а также проведет обязательную вакцинацию экипажей. В Norwegian рассчитывают, что требование обязательной вакцинации устранит необходимость в выполнении комплекса обязательных условий, утвержденных CDC для выхода в море, в том числе тестовые круизы для получения сертификата с разрешением проводить круизы в условиях пандемии. Как и другие крупные круизные компании, Norwegian, которая приостановила круизные операции до конца июня, не выполняла рейсов на территории США с начала вспышки коронавируса в прошлом году. Norwegian Cruise Line базируется в Майами и управляет тремя брендами - Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises и Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
