Thomson Cruises extends its summer spirit
Thomson Cruises has announced that it will extend fan-favourite ship Thomson Spirit’s time with the company, sailing it until the end of summer 2018 as a result of overwhelming popular customer demand.
The award-winning ship, which was due to sail for the final time in November this year, will be based in Palma in April, before moving to Malaga until October. This means customers will have the chance to visit the best that the Western Mediterranean has to offer including big city favourites like Rome, Barcelona and Lisbon, as well as lesser-known Spanish gems like Tarragona, Mahon and Roses.
Managing Director of Thomson Cruises, Richard Sofer, said: “When we announced that Thomson Spirit would be sailing with us for the last time this year we were overwhelmed by the response. Our customers really love Thomson Spirit – it’s the longest serving member of our fleet and has a really homely feel, being one of our smallest ships.
“Extending her time in our fleet will give customers more chance to explore some of the Mediterranean’s most stunning ports in Spain, Portugal, France and Italy - while experiencing the friendliest service at sea.”
Summer 2018 Thomson Spirit itineraries will go on sale on 27th July and customers will receive a free All Inclusive upgrade for a limited time. Thomson Spirit’s last cruise in the Thomson fleet, Continental Coasts, will set sail on 21st October 2018.
