Veendam 2019 schedule

Several months ago I was watching the 2019 summer schedule for Veendam NE/Canada cruises when they all disappeared from the site. A few months later Veendam was shown as being in the Med for the summer.

Yesterday I looked again and found both schedules. She is going to have to sail fast to be in Venice and Maine on consecutive days.

Rechecked HAL just now and just MED is showing. HAL must have seen it and fixed it.

I vowed to never step foot on Veendam again but if she sails Venice to Maine overnight I’ll empty my bank account to take that ride. :)

We were told (by the future cruise consultant on board) that Veendam is being moved to Venice because of the new rules Venice has put into place to protect it from the large ships. There will be no Veendam/Bermuda runs for 2019 but it may be that Zaandam takes that route beginning in 2020.

That’s what I was told yesterday on board by the Future Cruise Consultant although he didn’t specify Zaandam. Said they’re trying to juggle the ships for ‘20. I hope it’s true. This was our 3rd Veendam/Bermuda cruise. The Captain announced Veendam is the longest length that can fit in Hamilton.

They may be wishing they never sold Ryndam, or Statendam, for that matter. We loved Ryndam.

The Veendam and Maasdam are the only ships that HAL has under the 750 foot limit, but other lines have ones that berth in Hamilton, such as the Viking Star. I liked the Ryndam too!

The Prisendam is under the limit as well.

Correct! :) I omitted her because she would never be put on a dedicated Bermuda run.

Doesn’t mean that she’ll never go there.

No she wouldn’t. HAL saves her for the exotic itineraries (for lack of a better word).

She stopped there in early May for one night on her TA voyage to Europe. The Veendam stays 3 nights...we just disembarked today!

We disembarked May 19th from the Veendam and we were told that if enough people put in their comments that they want to book this sailing again, that HAL may bring it back for 2020. Fingers crossed as this was in our top 3 cruises with HAL!

Apparently I am on the Veendam cruise to Bermuda departing Boston on June 16. Its so sad.....

We just booked the Veendam Boston to Bermuda yesterday - am looking forward to trying a smaller ship. Can't wait.

I meant to say the LAST Veendam cruise to Bermuda. :')

Hopefully, just for 2019!

I'm glad I put in my comments that docking in Hamilton was one of my favorite things and that I would be looking for and alternative since Veendam has been reassigned.
