A few suprises this year..... AIDAsol was change route because of bad weather earlier in august,the ship arrive just before midnight and spent the night and next day in port. Beginning of september MSC Musica was change itinerary also because of bad weather and high waves,because of this the ship add Olden as port of call

MSC Musica

Mein Schiff 4

AIDAluna

The season 2016 is soon at the end,only 2 arrivals left. Marco Polo 20.09 and Magellan 01.11 For the 2017 season it looks GREAT Its almost 100 visits booked so far I cross my fingers for 100 calls 2017.
