How come Pullmantur does not do cruises in the winter time besides the Caribbean? Do you think this will change in the future?

It does! Three of the company's ships (SOVEREIGN - ex OF THE SEAS, EMPRESS - ex NORDIC EMPRESS, EMPRESS OF THE SEAS and ZENITH) were chartered this past winter to Brazil's largest tour operator CVC, with which it has had a profitable relationship for several years.

Its latest addition PACIFIC DREAM (ex HORIZON, ISLAND STAR) is beginning year-round operations from Acapulco shortly.

A couple years ago Pullmantur had the former Europa (don't remember what they called her) sailing from Cozumel to Grand Cayman, Jamaica and Havana, returning to Cozumel. American's are prohibited from spending money to get to Cuba or spending money in Cuba, so I thought this all-inclusive cruise would be perfect. I would have spent money to make a round trip to and from Cozumel and I wouldn't have had to spend money in Cuba because everything I needed was provided on the ship. Well, it wasn't easy or even possible. The advice from this website was "contact your travel agent." I contacted several; nobody in the States has ever heard of Pullmantur. I contacted Royal Caribbean, who own Pullmantur, and they were almost no help at all. I even contacted Pullmantur; they sent me a brochure- in Spanish. Good luck to any American trying to book on Pullmantur. I tried.

I'm not sure why you would think Royal Caribbean would have information on Pullmantur? It would be like calling Carnival for information on AIDA. Yes, owned by the same parent company but that is about the extent of the relationship.

Pullmantur is not marketed in the US for various reasons, the most obvious being that most Americans would not enjoy the experience. It's geared to the Spanish almost exclusively. Anyway, if you are really interested in booking a Pullmantur cruise, you can call the US GSA at 1-888-7PULLMA.

Actually Pullmantur and other European cruise lines are rep'd in the states by wholsalers.

Picasso Tours has a cruise arm...Picasso Cruises. This is a European wholesaler based in the US. I have been a travel agent for many years and booked clients on the Zenith this past summer via Picasso. In fact, Picasso was nice enough to send me a supply of Pullmantur brochures for the office I work in. I have a copy and treasure it.....!

But Picasso works on a year to year basis with these lines. Not sure if Pullmantur is on their roster for this year or next year.

Thank you Nycruiser, I will look into them.

Sorry for the confusion, yes they have an English site, but it is next to useless, that is what I meant to say

Pullmantur cruises can be be booked on one of the US internet cruise sites(VTG). However you have to go to their Spanish language area to access information on Pullmantur ships, dates prices etc.
