UK cruise line Thomson Cruises’ newest vessel, currently sailing as Costa Europa, will be renamed Thomson Dream when her 10 year charter starts in April 2010, with the vessel being ‘homeported’ in Palma, Majorca and offering three seven-night routes including Civitavecchia (Rome), Florence, Barcelona, and, for the first time for Thomson, La Goulette, Tunisia.
Palma is an ideal ‘homeport’ for a vessel specifically aimed at the UK cruise sector, as it can be reached by flights from 22 UK airports. Plans for Thomson Dream’s winter 2010/2011 season will be unveiled shortly.
The 1,506 passenger capacity Thomson Dream, built in 1986 as Homeric for US operator Home Lines, will be the fourth and largest in the UK operator’s fleet, and the most luxurious. All cabins have recently been renovated, while passengers will be able to choose from five dining venues including a main dining room, an a la carte grill and a 24-hour buffet.
