Very excited to review this schedule! Our next cruise opportunity will not happen til other commitments are concluded in June, 2019...so it's going to be one of these, and we'll be excited to see which ones Ngaire and Ken will be hosting.

Working on it now. Not easy from here but will post it once we get it figured out. Hope we will be doing something you like miss you two.

Yippee!! Look forward to seeing what you will escort.

Probably a New England cruise Jim.

We hope your escorted New England cruise is the one we've reserved: Amsterdam to NYC, August 14, 2019, on the Navigator, with stops in Kirkwall (Orkney Islands, Scotland), Faroe Islands, Iceland (3 stops), Greenland (2 stops), and Canada/New England stops in St. John's (Newf.), Halifax, Bar Harbor. Boston, and Martha's Vineyard before ending in New York. Sort of a 3 in 1: Transatlantic, Iceland and Greenland, and Canada-New England. We've never been on a hosted KLT cruise (although we met you on our final cruise with our prior TA), and would love to be on our first such cruise.

I looked at that cruise. Really nice but too long for me to be away. So I had to decide against that unfortunately but I think you picked a great itinerary.

Not 100% sure yet but will probably do the following

Norway on the Explorer and the following cruise that goes to Germany and Poland. New ports in Norway I have not been to before.

Dubai to Singapore in November with India and Myanmar

A New England cruise end of sept or early October for something without long flights.

Early in 2020 probably a crossing from Europe to USA. Not done a crossing in that direction where you gain hours for a while.

In an airport right now so don't have dates but will post nice this plan is confirmed.

The Norway one on explorer looks nice. Several new ports for me, and we love Norway.

We would love the Norway cruise in November 2019! Would also love those glorious sea days on a crossing, but I don't see a Europe-USA crossing in the 2020 voyages?

April 29. 2020 - Rome to Miami. Last leg of the world cruise. 18 nights. Longer than the normal crossing and is on the Mariner.

I wrote out the whole schedule hit post and it disappeared. Technical difficulties. Leaving soon for a tour so a shortened version of the original.

2019
3/28 to 4/15 - Mariner - Shanghai to Tokyo
8/8 to 8/20 - Explorer - Copenhagen to Oslo (Norway)
8/20 to 8/30 - Explorer - Oslo to Stockholm. (U.K., Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Sweden )
11 /16 to 12/6 - Voyager - Dubai to Singapore. (India and Myanmar)

2020
4/29 to 5/17 - Mariner - Rome to Miami (crossing)

Between April and August planning on a U.K. cruise on Silver Cloud expedition ship not released yet and our safaris.

Ngaire, looks like you have already selected a name for the 8/8 to 8/20 Explorer cruise - NORWAY

Can I recommend:

Norwegian Odyssey Remote Waterways Amazing Youthfullness

Sounds good Marc but I do need to run a contest. Will shoot that off to Karen and get one going. Enter it once she starts the thread.

Shopping for the teapot now!

I'd love to do a European river cruise, something like Budapest to Prague. Ever since we did the Paris to Normandy I've had the itch to do another one. We were signed up to do a Budapest to Prague next month with Helen & Jerry but cancelled due to our plate over flowing. sigh

I am checking out Crystal in December. I think there will be river cruise on Crystal in my future. Have some things I am working on we will see if I can make it work.

A river cruise is definitely on our bucket list. Would love to do the long one from Amsterdam to maybe Budapest........in fact was just looking at the Crystal river cruises the other day. Will be very interested to see what you might come up with Ngaire.

I have done a lot of river cruise itineraries. Others may disagree but I absolutely loved the itinerary starting or ending in Amsterdam and Switzerland with the wonderful little German villages and the castles on the Rhine. This is the the itinerary I would like to do again. My limit on a river boat is about 10 nights but of course you may be able to continue on if the boat goes further down the river even if most of the group are gone.

one of the things I did love about Crystal was that they did have some 10 night itineraries, which we would definitely consider and then maybe do a few nights land thing at the beginning or end. None of the other lines seem to have that option, its either 14 or 7 nights....so Crystal really did interest us., Flying to Europe for a 7 night cruise has always seemed a waste to me, need a longer cruise and maybe some time at beginning and end. Your thoughts work too. Keep us on that list for sure especially if its in the Spring, Summer or Fall.
