On HAL Ships..... How Many Countries Have you Visited?

Could be fun and helpful.

If someone sees a country on your list where they have plans to visit, might be good to see there is someone who might have the answer to their particular question. :)

 

For those who have traveled a fair amount, it's harder than it seems to remember all the countries especially if you only spent a half a day in port while on a cruise. ;)

It would take time to list them all. I keep a copy of the Travelers Century List and mark off countries as I visit. So far the total is all 7 continents and 142 different countries. I sure no one wants the complete list.

Don't know how many countries just from HAL ships, but I did hit my 100th country on a ship - Mauritius, and finally became a member of the Travel Century Club.

 

I stopped counting after that, but am still finding more cruises to new countries so it is still adding up. We are now looking at the Prinsendam into the Black Sea for Sept 2013 and that will be good for yet another handful of new countries too.

Norway(HAL only)

Singapore

Thailand

Cambodia (HAL only)

Vietnam (HAL only)

China

Jacqui, have you not been to Canada on a HAL ship?

It gets a little tricky on what you count as a country because Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, and Sint Maarten are all part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and Saint Martin and Martinique are both France. I see one person listed Puerto Rico as a country. The Canary Islands belong to Spain. I'll just say 35 to 40 depending on how strict you are on defining what is a country.

Extraordinary timing, Sail! I just made a list the other day.

I've been to all seven continents, and sailed all seven seas, on HAL ships. Those trips have brought me to 63 countries (so far).

That's too many to list, but it's some of the popular countries, as well as some pretty remote ones, too.

It's fun reading everyone's lists and/or comments.

 

I realized I forgot to list Monaco. Wouldn't want to leave out Monte Carlo. :)

Some impressive numbers!!! We're a well traveled group.

OK -- I have been challenged -- on a quick count (I still have to verify it) HAL has brought us to 55 of the 70 countries we have visited (so far) .... Still counting and still traveling. I am not, however, going to type a list as I am currently using my iPad. Too hard to type well on the electronic keyboard.

 

Oops -- editing to say 56 out of 71 .... And possibly still counting

 

Oops again -- 57 out of 73 ....

Too many to list, yet I've had the general regions listed in my signature in case someone had any questions. (And, I have received a few over the years.) Not all of these were on HAL ships -- those were Canada/New England, Alaska, and British Isles:

 

  • United States (Maasdam, Ryndam, Westerdam)
  • Canada (Maasdam, Ryndam)
  • England (Prinsendam)
  • Scotland (Prinsendam)
  • Wales (Prinsendam)
  • Northern Ireland (Prinsendam)
  • Ireland (Prinsendam)
  • Channel Islands -- a British Crown Dependency (Prinsendam)

I've been to 70 countries, but some are a bit hard to reach by ship like Nepal or Bolivia..

I've been to Vatican City and Monaco. Both are very beautiful.

 

 

Too bad I can't say I've been to Cuba on a cruise ship. They do have a cruise ship terminal waiting for the time when they start to get some cruise ships other than their own. (They have 2 small ones) Dh and I have been to Cuba more than 50 times.

 

So- HAL cruises have taken me to...

 

Italy, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Turkey, Monaco, Tunisia, U.S., Canada (Can you really visit your own country?)

... Canada (Can you really visit your own country?)

Sure ya can! Especially when it's a big country like Canada. From the Maritimes to British Columbia covers a lot of variety.
