Cruise4food Posted August 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2019 The new Holland America Cruise Atlas for 2020-2021 is on-line. Select Travel Resources at the bottom of the main HAL page and then E-Brochures. As per the last couple of years, it is available to be read on-line in cenveomobile format or download as a PDF. This link is for the US website. You may be redirected for other nations. Note that they no longer have a link to the 2019-2020 version of the Cruise Atlas. it is always a good idea to download that PDF version. https://www.hollandamerica.com/en_US/ebrochures.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted August 17, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I wonder when the paper version will be available. That's the format I prefer, so that's the one I use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of at least two editions ago I had to get the hard copy via my TA. The Future Cruise Consultants usually have a few at their desk for people to use on the ship. They do have a label noting they are to be returned before the end of the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'll email my TA later. 🙃 What I find amazing tho, is how easy it is to get paper stuff from Princess. Want a Caribbean brochure, sure, click and you get one. Want the 2020/2021 atlas they offer, sure click away. It's part of the same company, so go figure ... Thanks for your input, and hope you're enjoying your weekend! 😚 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a hard copy from our Future Cruise Consultant to keep on our last cruise, Ruth. Apparently there are some hidden in the Neptune Lounge and the FCC gave me one. 😄 But, that was on the Prinsendam so I’m not sure if that makes a difference or not 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the format I prefer, so that's the one I use. Last Saturday they had a HAL rep set up at a table in the Montreal Cruise Port distributing various cruise brochures including the paper version of this 2020-2021 Cruise Atlas. The table was in a public access section as part of the celebration for 500,000 HAL passengers boarding through the port. So, the paper version is out there.

rkacruiser Posted August 17, 2019 #10 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I am finding that it is difficult to obtain a hard copy of any cruise line's itineraries/ schedules. On the Coral Princess a few days ago, their FCC had copies of the new "Destination Guide"--the new name for their Cruise Atlas--available. I do have a new copy of HAL's Cruise Atlas and think I picked it up on the Westerdam. As a 5 Star Mariner and Elite with Princess, I, as well as the rest of us in those categories, are due those hard copies being sent to us. Anyone listening to this in Seattle and Los Angeles?

Anyone listening to this in Seattle and Los Angeles? The Atlas was on the original list of benefits to certain Mariners; I don't know if it has quietly been removed. I do know that with HAL's website being as bad as it is, I want a paper copy. At least I can open that! Besides, the website works backwards: it assumes you know what you want, and you input the variables, then it gives you the narrowed down choices. I don't know what I want for a cruise, and want to flip around looking at all the choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is absolutely my view as well. Trying to do so on their web site (or any others as well) becomes frustrating. For those of us who have sailed for many years on many itineraries, making it easy to help us find maybe a "new" itinerary that attracts our interest is a thought that has not creased the brains of the current Marketing and Sales people in Seattle and elsewhere in the cruise industry.

mauimacho Posted August 18, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I always ask my PCC to send a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ski ww Posted August 18, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I did get the 2019-2020 one in the mail, I hope to get the 2020-2021 also, although it is a little early yet. If they mail it it will be later in the year or early next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ski ww Posted August 18, 2019 #15 Share Posted August 18, 2019 When I go to the HAL web site, " Find a cruise, search for cruise" it only lets me search until end of 2020, nothing for 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TiogaCruiser Posted August 19, 2019 #18 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Had we not received a paper brochure ( or maybe it was the atlas) and had it not been open to a fabulous photo of Norway, DH would not have seen it and said “Where’s that? I want to go there!” ..... and we never would have gotten to Norway. Sometimes only paper will do! 😇 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted August 20, 2019 #22 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Please stand me corrected inasmuch as my latest Cruise Atlas ends in April 2020. I thought it was 2021. My question remains the same to Seattle's Mariner Society: my newest Cruise Atlas will appear in my mail box when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
