Royal Caribbean has announced that BLEU DE FRANCE, which since her introduction, has been exlusively geared to the French, will also be opened to the Spanish market as from this winter when she begins her new itineraries in the Eastern Med and Red Sea.

All operations (except marketing) of Croisieres De France have been managed by Pullmantur since inception, so I suppose it was only a matter of time before this move followed.

Pullmantur's Lisbon-based programme with ATLANTIC STAR and PACIFIC DREAM (wef 31 May) was originally aimed only at the Portuguese, but within weeks was also opened to Spaniards, due to low bookings.

Has anyone hear how Croisieres de France (CdF) is doing in trying to break into the French and French speaking market. It has traditionally been a hard market to crack.

We saw this ship in the Carribean in Jan. We were docked right next to her. I don't remember which port? Looked in good shape.
