Thomson Dream and Thomson Celebration due for multi million pound refurbishment

 
Thomson Cruises, which is part of TUI Travel plc, plans to spend millions of pounds to refurbish two its best performing ships, Thomson Dream and Thomson Celebration,

The news comes only a few weeks after the company said it would replace the 1982 built Thomson Destiny with Louis Majesty, eight years younger and slightly larger at 40,186 gross tons,
which would be renamed Thomson Majesty (below) this summer.

The 53,876 gross to
n Thomson Dream was built in 1986 as Homeric for the now defunct Home Lines and traded as Westerdam for Holland America Line (not to be confused with present ship of the same name) and Costa Europa before joining the Thomson fleet in 2010. The 33,930 gross ton Thomson Celebration started life as Noordam of Holland America Line in 1984 and it has served with Thomson since 2005.

Thai and French restaurants will be introduced on board both ships, while public areas and cabins would also be upgraded. Spa facilities will also upgraded and both ships will feature spa cabins after their respective refits. Thomson Dream will re-enter service for its Winter 2012-13 Caribbean programme and Thomson Celebration for a series of cruises in the Mediterranean from Marmaris in Turkey in 2013, the report said.
