I think in many markets HAL seldom exactly repeats an itinerary.  I would suggest going to their site and starting with a ship to Europe for your anniversary month and then drill down to med type embarkation ports.  While they may not exactly match your target cruise you would likely find something you would like, perhaps even with just a port or 2 difference.  Good luck.

Thanks for the info! I did this and only found trips from the Netherlands within the summer months for under 9 days. Was hoping for more Med locations.

I've noticed that a lot of times HAL will do certain itineraries every other year. This may be the reason you can't see that particular itinerary for the year you want to sail.

good to know- thank you! 

I looked but didn't see much for Summer 2020, was hoping more would be coming 🙂 

Hello! 

I cruised HAL for the first time in 2015 for my honeymoon and had an amazing time. I would love to take a 5 year anniversary trip on HAL next year and have an idea of where we would like to go. I found a PERFECT (for us) itinerary that is cruising this year - 7-Day Mediterranean Rivieras (https://www.hollandamerica.com/en_US/find-a-cruise/E9M07B/E950.html), but it is only available for 1 date next month. Does anyone know if the cruises for next summer are all already announced? 

Thanks so much in advance!! 

Honeymoon Cruise! Zuiderdam July 11th, 2015 Med cruise from Rome to Venice...can't find my roll call anywhere!

Thank you all for your advice and responses!

We have been abroad before together, and did research on all other cruise lines that sail to these locations with and with our travel agent. We decided on this HA cruise because it ports in all of the location we wanted to visit. Other cruise lines also didn't have the length we wanted and were about the same price for 3-4 days less.

We also do have travel insurance, and plan on only taking carry-ons, we went through hell with lost luggage last time we traveled to Paris and I don't plan on doing that again.

Our wedding is June 20th and we are leaving for Rome July 7th (cruise departs on the 11th). So we will have plenty of time to prepare in between and arrive to Rome early.

We don't really mind the age of others on bard as we are mostly going for the experience together since it is our honeymoon, and not exactly for the wild parties every night.

Thanks again!

My Fiancé and I just booked a cruise for July 11th leaving from Rome for 11 days and ending in Venice. We are mid 20's and after planning a wedding for a year we are looking for relaxing but awesome excursions.

He has been on one cruise before to the Caribbean, and I have never cruised before. I have a few questions, hopefully somebody could assist :)

Are formal nights included in the price?

You can't bring alcohol on board, correct?

Should we book excursions through Holland America or through another company?

Anybody else going on this cruise? I can't find it listed in Roll Call!

Thanks in advance!
