(6 p.m. EDT) -- Who else out there needs something to look forward to?
I know that I do. The crisp and sunny fall days are getting shorter. Colder temperatures are making outdoor dining and social-distanced deck dinners unfeasible. And we're finding it hard to figure out a way to make Thanksgiving and the December holidays safe for an extended family gathering.
Meanwhile, the news is a constant stream of anxiety. No matter what side you're on, the U.S. election looms large in the collective consciousness. Coronavirus cases continue to rise, not just here in the United States, but in Europe and the rest of the world. And if we feel this way now, how on earth will we get through winter?
(4:45 p.m. BST) -- Royal Caribbean's newest ship, Odyssey of the Seas, will spend a very "mini-season" sailing from Southampton in 2021, before redeploying to Rome via Barcelona.
The line's new Quantum Ultra-class ship, which was due to launch in November this year, will offer UK passengers two sailings out of Southampton in April.
The first is a 3-night weekend getaway that visits Bruges, Belgium and Rotterdam, Netherlands, while the second is a 5-night cruise to Spain, with calls in Vigo and Cartagena, ending in Barcelona.
Odyssey will then offer a choice of three cruises to Spain, France and Italy, representing a mix of four- and
(4:30 p.m. BST) -- The world's largest cruise ship Symphony of the Seas takes centre stage in a three-part documentary starting on More 4 tonight.
The 5,518-passenger ship is the star of "Billion Pound Cruise", which will air on Thursday 22 October at 9pm on More 4.
Filmed in late 2019 and produced by "Gavin and Stacey" star James Corden’s company, Fulwell 73 Productions, the episodes highlight all the experiences onboard Symphony of the Seas, focusing on food, crew and fun.
Royal Caribbean's Vice President EMEA, Ben Bouldin, said: "This series was filmed at the end of last year, so we recognise that when w
(12:25 p.m. EDT) -- One possible hurdle for Carnival Corporation to resume sailing in 2020 has been cleared by a federal judge.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Patricia Seitz had indicated she would require 60 days' notice prior to any Carnival Corporation vessel entering U.S. waters. The company is currently on probation over the illegal dumping of contaminated oil waste involving Caribbean Princess in 2016. Carnival Corporation has been in an environmental compliance program since 2017.
That ruling would have dramatically affected Carnival's attempts to restart cruising from the United States following the industry's shutdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Wednesday, the
(8:55 EDT) -- Small ship expedition line Swan Hellenic has ordered a third Vega-class expedition cruise vessel.
Larger than its two sister ships, the 12.000-GRT Vega 3 will be a hybrid-powered vessel with an ice-strengthened hull and a capacity of 192 passengers in 96 cabins and suites, the majority with large balconies.
The ship will be built at the Helsinki shipyard and is due for launch at the end of 2022.
The news follows the keel-laying ceremony of the line's first ship, Minerva, at the Helsinki Shipyard in September.
"We see the increase in demand for experiences that are truly out of the ordinary and are confident in the b
(3:10 p.m. EDT) -- Cruise lines in Europe are continuing to bar passengers who violate their health and safety regulations when it comes to shore excursions and staying within the ship-sponsored "bubble" in port.
Tuesday, a guest on AIDAblu left his travel group during a ship-sponsored shore excursion in Catania, Italy. "As a result, the guest was unable to continue sailing on AIDAblu, and AIDA supported the guest in organizing his trip home," the line said in a statement.
AIDAblu is the first ship to resume cruising in the COVID-19 era from the German line AIDA, which is owned by Carnival Corporation. The current cruise is the first one back, sailing a seven-day itinera
