When will Summer 2021 cruises go live?

Any guesses as to when will Summer 2021 cruises go live on the HAL site?

Not until at least December of this year or January of next year. Alaska usually first followed by Europe. Summer Canada / New England released later in spring of next year. 

 

HAL typically does not release itineraries as far in advance as some other lines.

I do know that the Koningsdam will replace the Nieuw Amsterdam in the Saturday inside passage run and the Maasdam will do the 14 day run out of Vancouver rather than Seattle.

Have you spoken to a Holland America cruise consultant?  The HAL e-brochure has a calendar chart that could be helpful.

The third Pinncale class ship - Ryndam - will launch in Europe in May 2021.  She will be a sister to Konigsdam and Nieuw Statendam.  Exact launch dates and itineraries are not yet known.

While that is true for 2020, and we can assume Konigsdam will return to Alaska for the 2021 summer season, it unknown for sure exactly which itinerary she will do. 

 

Maasdam is a wild card for 2021 - very little of her schedule is known after September of 2020 at this point, though she  does have a 13 night Australia cruise in December 2020 posted for the holidays, but that's it so far post Alaska 2020.
