Any insights on Boston cruises in fall of 2026?

Has anything new been released this week?

I compared an inside cabin for 2 people for June 2025 vs 2026 and see a 4.3% increase. 6/8/24 Serenade $2,203 6/28/25 Serenade $2,297

FionaMG, what are the test loads that you mentioned in your post: "The test loads for Europe 2026 are up, ahead of the actual release" Looking at the release schedule it is not clear when repositioning cruises such as Trans-Atlantics will come out which is what we are primarily interested in. Dave

Where do the Trans-Atlantic cruises/repositioning cruise fall in this release schedule?

We are taking the Alaska Cruise Tour 5b in May 2025 and we are interested in taking a helicopter excursion to one of the glaciers. I have not seen anything like this offered on the cruise planner. Does anyone know if Royal Caribbean typically offers these types of excursions? If not, does anyone have any advice on booking a helicopter flight with a third party? Any input or guidance is appreciated. Dave

I assume that it is easy to get a taxi from the cruise port to some destination such as a beach on Aruba but how easy is it to get a taxi back to the cruise port? My fear is to get dropped off somewhere and not have a cell service to call for a ride back.

We are planning to fly into Anchorage a day or two early. We are thinking of staying at the Anchorage Marriott since it will be the same hotel for the first night of the land tour. Any thoughts on how to ensure we don't have to switch rooms?

Thank you for the great feedback!

Thank you for the feedback. We are doing the land tour first. Here is the itinerary as presented in our cruise reservation document. My most immediate question seeing this is "Where do I go on Sunday, May 18th?" - I am interested in knowing what, if any, choices will we have to make. Will there be different excursion options? What options will we have for meals? Will there be free time? What amenities to the hotels offer such as internet accessibility (and is internet access sufficient for streaming), pools, fitness center etc? For the hotels, are there any options to upgrade the room? What are the train portions like? Are there any options to upgrade the train ride portions? If yes, is there any guidance on the value of such upgrades? Any guidance or input is appreciated. We find that having an idea of what to expect adds to the excitement of looking forward to the trip. For this one, we are already quite excited!!! Dave

Can folks share an example of the paperwork provided for the land tour portion? We are taking the 5b tour in 2025 and we are curious to get an idea of how the logistics work.

Thank you for posting. I just checked for Europe sailings for 2025 and do not see any. I assume it should be very soon and that I am not missing something.

I am interested in Europe and transatlantic cruises from May 2025 through the end of 2025.

Is there a release schedule for Celebrity cruise itineraries like the Royal Caribbean release schedule that Kathleen posted to start this thread?

The replies to the original topic "Europe Summer 2025 Available" have focused on flight costs. This is worthy of a forum topic by itself. Alternatively, for understanding the world of air travel, I spend a lot of time reading articles on The Points Guy (The Points Guy - Maximize your travel.) I share this hoping that people can find ways to reduce their airfare costs.
