President Christopher Prelog said 312-passenger Star Legend’s 2023/24 winter programme would soon be full following a surge in demand for Med sailings from Barcelona and Civitavecchia. 


Augustus Lonsdale, the line’s UK and Ireland head of sales, told TTG forward bookings for 2024, 2025 and 2026 were 59% up against the same 18-day period in 2023. 


“This is our best-selling season since Covid,” said Lonsdale, adding: “I’m confident January will be our best-ever booking month.”
