richarduk Posted February 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) I know this may have already been covered, but I see that Europe summer 2016 itineraries are now published and bookable. This time it's Oosterdam and Eurodam in the Med and Zuiderdam in Northern Europe. Does anyone know if Oosterdam in good? Has it, or will it be refurbished?

Have you, as yet, communicated with HAL to discover the answer to your question? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richarduk Posted February 15, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted February 15, 2015 No I have not. People here are generally willing to be helpful, as we seem to enjoy assisting each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted February 15, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2015 She was in drydock in 2013 so I would suspect she will go back in 2015-2016 but don't see anything on the schedule as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himself Posted February 15, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I was on the Oosterdam last summer and she was in excellent shape then. I think the Noordam will be in Alaska in 2016 season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavArch64 Posted February 15, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 15, 2015 As I understand it, there is a 3 ship contract with Fincantieri Palermo (Sicily) to install the new staterooms aft of the Crows Nest on Zuiderdam in March/April 2015, on Oosterdam in March/April 2016 and on Westerdam in March/April 2017. Nordam is going to Australia/New Zealand as she already has the staterooms referenced. Of course, the routine drydocking maintenance will also be accomplished in Palermo. Therefore the European itineraries follow for the 3 Vista class sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sppunk Posted February 15, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I was on the Oosterdam last summer and she was in excellent shape then. I think the Noordam will be in Alaska in 2016 season Indeed, doing the Vancouver-Seward one-way cruises. Amsterdam, Maasdam, NA, Noordam, Volendam, Westerdam and Zaandam will all e in Alaska in 2016.

NavArch64 Posted February 19, 2015 #10 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I only know from the HAL deployment "chart" that she is going "westbound" through the Panama Canal in Spring 2016. One would guess that she will be in Alaska in Summer 2016 but there is no confirmation of that yet. If she is going to replace Noordam in Australia in 2016/2017, she could possibly reposition there from Vancouver in Sept/Oct 2016. But...who knows?

RuthC Posted February 19, 2015 #11 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sydney :) In April? I highly doubt that. Later in the year, maybe, but not during Australian winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sppunk Posted February 19, 2015 #12 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Does anyone know where Nieuw Amsterdam is going after April 2016. She will be in Alaska after the Panama Canal transit (the transit departs FLL April 10. R/T seven day sailings out of Vancouver begin on her April 30.
