October, 2018, itineraries

When might Holland America publish their October, 2018, itineraries? I'm interested in their Australia cruises. Thank you.

As discussed here many times, July or August would be the expected release.

Quite a few of us are anxiously awaiting their release.

My apologies CruiserBruce. I have never sailed with Holland America, and, to the best of my memory, I have only posted & read posts twice on HA's forum here. So I had no idea that my question had been "discussed here many times." Thank you for providing the information I requested.

But I think that I remember one poster in a similar thread saying that the Grand Asia cruise for 2017 came out in June. At least that is what I hope will happen. I am anxiously awaiting the 2018 Grand Asia.

They are starting to filter in. Some of the TA's are already out.

When looking at port schedules in the Australia region, one can already deduct that Noordam and Maasdam will cruise in that region in the late 2018 and early 2019 period. By looking at several planned port visits for mainly Noordam, you can easily decipher the itinerary for Noordam, which is practically the same as the one for 2017/2018.

For example, Noordam will do

Sydney to Auckland October 25/2018 to November 8/2018

Auckland to Sydney November 8/2018 to November 22/2018

Roundtrip Sydney November 22/2018 to December 6/2018

Sydney roundtrip Pacific Treasures December 6/2018 - December 21/2018

Sydney roundtrip to Auckland Holliday December 21/2018 - January 4/2019

Just to name a few.

Maasdam is a bit more difficult to deduct, it is around there, making stops at Sydney, Melbourne, Port Chalmbers, Burnie and Hobart, looks like mostly out of Auckland, but a bit more difficult to predict itinerary’s.

And yes, I am also waiting for the official release :D
