Interesting to see that Cyprus-based Louis Cruise Lines has acquired the Norwegian Dream and Norwegian Majesty from Star Cruises, the Malaysian-based cruise company that owns half of Norwegian Cruise Line.
And interesting that Thomson Cruises has decided not to renew the charter for Louis Cruises' ancient but much-loved Emerald from October this year.
See where I'm going with this?
Director of cruising for Tui Travel mainstream division David Selby is being typically non-commital about Thomson's plans, saying only:
When the right opportunity comes along, which we are sure it will, we will announce it.
Could this be a classic case of London bus syndrome? One minute you are hoping for one opportunity, then two come along at once.
