Richard Sofer, Managing Director, Thomson Cruises, said: “When we announced that Thomson Spirit would be sailing with us for the last time this year we were overwhelmed by the response. Our customers really love Thomson Spirit – it’s the longest serving member of our fleet and has a really homely feel, being one of our smallest ships. Extending her time in our fleet will give customers more chance to explore some of the Mediterranean’s most stunning ports in Spain, Portugal, France and Italy – while experiencing the friendliest service at sea.”
