The latest looking ahead article is available.

This revolution includes another 74km Enceladus flyby with infrared studies on approach and recession, and RSS as prime instrument at C/A for gravity readings over the south pole. We don't get this close to Enceladus again now until October 2015.

Also a close Dione flyby at around 8000km with some great hi-res imaging and mosaics to look forward to, and some distant Titan cloud hunting.
