Madrid, March 21, 2019 – Pullmantur Cruises – the only cruise line on the market that brings the Spanish lifestyle to the cruise experience – is launching its new catalog with Iceland as one of its most prominent new offerings for summer 2020. The company will also continue to focus on Israel next season , offering the second sailing of the Israel, Greece and Ancient Cultures itinerary and the new Israel, Egypt, Greece and Turkey: Magical Orient itinerary.
In addition to its new destination offerings, the company is reinforcing 'Pullmantur Cruises, Cruises as We Are' - its brand positioning that highlights the Spanish lifestyle - inviting people to discover what it means to sail with full intensity through its pages.
As explained by Richard J. Vogel, President & CEO of Pullmantur Cruises, the addition of Iceland to our offering is "the result of our desire to continue evolving to present our passengers with new and spectacular alternatives so they can enjoy an unforgettable vacation, visiting incredible places and without giving up the Spanish lifestyle."
“We wanted to emphasize the onboard experience, the intensity with which we sail, and our different offerings to suit the needs and tastes of all types of travelers,” he adds.

Special Families
In addition, Pullmantur Cruises has launched for the first time a special edition of the catalog for families, showcasing in detail the wide variety of services and activities it offers for all members of the family.
Among them, The Factory: Free Space, the innovative entertainment program designed exclusively for teenagers (between 12 and 17 years old). Besides having its own dedicated space, one of its key features is that it gives participants control, allowing them to decide what they want to do at any given moment: play video games, compete in a game of foosball or darts, or operate the mixing console, becoming a DJ for a day, and so on. Fun is guaranteed.
This special edition also includes Trota Magazine, a publication that aims to help the little ones in the house discover – through games and cutouts – what some of the adventures they can experience on board will be like, while the adults immerse themselves in the proposed destinations and experiences.
