New ship for CMV
Cruise & Maritime Voyages has announced a new ship Grand Holiday will join its fleet in spring 2015 from Costa Crociere.
The cruise ship, which will carry about 1250 passengers, will be renamed Magellen and will operate as an adult only (16 years plus) ship alongside Marco Polo, Astor and Azores.
Chris Coates, commercial director said: "The introduction of Magellan will increase UK capacity by 40% increasing carryings up to 74,000 passengers. Having already sold 65% of capacity for next year we remain confident that Magellan will help satisfy the growing demand for our product".
A new 2015 special launch edition brochure will be released tomorrow, detailing Magellan’s inaugural CMV summer 2015 and winter 2015-16 programme.
The maiden CMV voyage will be a 12 night cruise to Iceland and the Faroes for the Solar Eclipse and Northern Lights sailing from London Tilbury on Sunday 15th March 2015.
She will also be sailing from Newcastle Tyne.
