Canada Greenland 2022? any info if there will be one

[scubadawg]

We got cancelled as did many others fir the August 2021 cruise so hoping for a redo in 2022. thx for any info

[RuthC]

I've had that cruise, and a similar one in another year, cancelled out from under me. That's twice! I have come to believe it is just never going to be---at least on HAL. I have not seen it listed as a possibility anywhere, and am very disappointed. 

[KirkNC]

We were scheduled for this cruise in 2020.

[DaveOKC]

We had it scheduled as well - would LOVE to see it brought back.  If anyone sees it offered please post.

We just booked Copenhagen to Boston July 2022 on N. Statendam. It stops in Canada, Iceland and Greenland.

 

There are several cruises to Iceland. And also some others to Iceland and Spitsbergen. The schedule is there.

Sounds like a step in the right direction!  Now lets get the Boston to Boston route!

Sorry, but I am looking for the 2 week cruise out of Boston that goes to Canada and then Greenland and back to Boston.

Yes that’s the Voyage of the Viking, I think the OP (and me as well) are referring to a different cruise that HAL usually offers once or twice a year, RT Boston, I think 14 days.

[scubadawg]

yes, it was the rt Boston but I think it was 18 days and did interesting ports in northern Canada and 3 ports in Greenland.  My PC said she has heard zero about this.

Princess has a 16 day in Aug 22 from Ny to Ny visiting Greenland, Nova Scotia etc.  We are booked on that one

Same here. We were canceled too. It was a great itinerary. I have a feeling that it might be years before this itinerary comes back because of the fewer ships now.

That looks interesting, I’ll have to check it out!

With the loss of 4 smaller ships, it is going to be harder for HAL to do these itineraries.  I did the Viking Passage on the Zuiderdam in 2019, it was 28 days from Copenhagen to Boston, with the first segment including Norway, and it was wonderful.  The Zuiderdam, with nearly 2000 guests, overwhelmed Nantortalik compared with 1200 on the S class ships.  So it is possible to use the Vista ships if they can fill them.

We did the VOV on Rotterdam in 2017 just from Boston to Copenhagen.  We enjoyed the trip and the small size of the ship.  I am sorry that Princess is not using Pacific for the cruise in 2022 but we are still looking forward to seeing Greenland again.

I asked this question on Facebook a few days ago. Canada New England itineraries should be released in the next 2-3 weeks. No specifics given on Greenland RT Boston even though that was my question as I was also scheduled for that trip. 

[KirkNC]

My guess is that Canada will not be open to cruising until 2022.

[drowelf]

We've been bounced around on this cruise several times. Had it scheduled on Princess for 2020, then HAL for 2021, then back to Princess for 2021 and now we are on Princess again for 2022. 

 

The HAL version had a better itinerary (more ports, less sea days), but oh well, we really want to get to Greenland, but don't want to pay VOV prices. 

 

Since its in August 2022, we actually think there may be a chance that it actually sails.

I LOVE this itinerary! Thanks for the info.

 

Would like a smaller ship but thats not going to happen so this looks great!

[Alberta Quilter]

This looks like an awesome itinerary. I don’t have the vacation time to make it happen though so I hope to see something similar including Greenland but a little shorter.

Ooooh.  Can't wait for this one to come out for booking.  I love Iceland and Greenland.

You are spot on.  Our Prime Minister has made it clear that our borders will not open up for the foreseeable future.  Everyone needs to be vaccinated and the numbers have to be much, much lower on both sides of the border.

[DaveOKC]

Thanks for the information on this.  I guess I will have to book it ASAP!
