Hi Maru!

I too have heard that Peace Boat will charter The Topaz next year, but I thought it was just a rumour. Apparently it's true. I checked out the web site that you provided - very interesting - but haven't been able to find any info on The Topaz's summer cruise on the site.

My question is, are they replacing the Olvia with The Topaz or are they operating 2 ships next summer? And my second question is will The Topaz visit Vancouver in 2003?

Regards, Kaiser

Thank you, PamM! So the calls at Southampton, Stockholm and Copenhagen (see above) are wrong?

I think Southampton have been reading this thread

When I checked their site yesterday they had 3? unconfirmed calls for Topaz showing in August IIRC. However she's disappeared from the listings today.
