Today's cruise news: Virgin Voyages has named Amsterdam as the homeport for its first-ever Scandinavia and Baltics season aboard Valiant Lady in summer 2028, with sailings to Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm and an Arctic Circle crossing expected to sell out fast. Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas is swapping its Bonaire call for a rare stop in Santa Marta, Colombia on a January roundtrip from Panama, with prepaid Bonaire excursions automatically refunded. And the brand-new Legend of the Seas suddenly turned away from Naples on its Rome to Barcelona sailing, adding Marseille instead, with guests blaming rough weather though Royal Caribbean has not confirmed why.
