cranethie Posted May 8, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Sydney ports shows the Volendam departing 19 October 2015 and returning 21 November 2015 so it looks like it's a goer at the moment. No idea when HAL will actually release the information tho' Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare erewhon Posted May 8, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 8, 2014 The 2014 Australian Circumnavigation cruise became available in June 2013,...... I printed the itinerary from the HAL website, on the 17th, and immediately phoned our travel agent to book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted May 8, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I hope they keep this itinerary. It will be a few more years before we will be on it but if available, we will do it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us too, I hope! But I am becoming more and more interested in the Broom to Darwin, Darwin to Cairns explorer-type ships. They are really a great way to see that part of the world...just very costly.:o:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aruba Posted May 8, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 8, 2014 A side question but relevant I think: On Princess, the on-board currency for Australia-based cruises is (or was...not certain about this year) Australian dollar. Is the on-board currency for HAL's Australia circumnavigation the US dollar or the Australian dollar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancuboz Posted May 9, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 9, 2014 A wonderful ship and itinerary. I did this cruise in 2013. When you board in Sydney, HAL keeps your passport and organises the required visas for Indonesia. They returned our passports after leaving Indonesian waters with Australian Immigration staff on board the ship. Enjoy your voyage.

Is the on-board currency for HAL's Australia circumnavigation the US dollar or the Australian dollar? Yes with Australian based cruise ships, the on board currency is Aus $, and tips are included in the price. HAL is $US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
