Asked by Cee · 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Hi, I am interested in booking a 24/12/25 cruise for two. Are there any rooms still available? In addition, noting the comparable itinerary to Orchid Classic, how does Orchid Trendy differ? Is the transfer shuttle cost not included in the cabin cost paid on booking or on the day?
1 answerAAnswered by Phoebe · 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Dear Carol, For similarities, both cruises belong to the same company so sharing the same itinerary and quality services. For differences, Orchid Trendy is a larger boat with 20 cabins while Orchid Classic is a smaller vessel with only 14 cabins. Upon checking our system, both options are still available on your traveling date:
