The Queen Mary 2, after undergoing renovations in Brest, France, will restart its sailing on June 25, 2027, with a transatlantic journey departing from Le Havre. This ship, known for its classic design and maritime history, will be accompanied by French-speaking staff to enhance the experience for passengers. The cruise will mark a return to traditional transatlantic crossings, a route that has become increasingly popular among travelers seeking a more immersive travel experience. Cruisepro, a leading general agent in France, manages a wide range of cruise brands, including Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages, Celebrity Cruises, Cunard, NCL, Azamara, Silversea, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Oceania Cruises, Seabourn, Crystal Cruises, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, and AmaWaterways. According to Emmanuel Joly, Cruisepro's director, the diversity of the portfolio allows the company to target various market segments. For example, Royal Caribbean caters to families and fans of large ships, Virgin Voyages focuses on adult travelers, and Celebrity Cruises offers a premium experience. Cunard emphasizes its maritime heritage, while NCL offers a more relaxed cruise experience, and Azamara specializes in deep cultural immersion in destinations. The expansion of different cruise brands is not meant to split existing customers but to build stronger relationships with travel agencies. Emmanuel Joly explains that while last-minute bookings are possible, the best deals and cabin choices are typically available when booking between nine and eighteen months in advance. To ensure success, Cruisepro works closely with travel agencies well before the cruise season, providing training, product information, and guidance to match customers with the cruise that best fits their needs. The goal is to attract travelers who are interested in exotic destinations but have not yet considered cruises as a way to explore. In 2027, several new cruise offerings will be introduced. Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas will depart from Barcelona, with itineraries that include the Costa del Sol, Casablanca, Tangier, and Portugal. Celebrity Cruises will offer a seven-night tour of Iceland aboard the Celebrity Silhouette. Cunard will run the Queen Mary 2 transatlantic cruise between Le Havre and New York. NCL will unveil the Norwegian Aura in April 2027, which will be the company’s largest ship. Oceania Cruises will launch the Oceania Sonata in August 2027 and will focus on gastronomy-themed cruises. Azamara and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises will offer long voyages and expedition cruises, respectively. In river cruising, AmaWaterways will increase departures on the Magdalena River in Colombia, using two small ships for 60 passengers each, with stops at Mompox, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
