DamTxCruiser Posted January 27, 2021 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hi all, I noticed that the Zaandam only has a few itineraries published for 2022. There is nothing for the summer. Does anyone have any insight or speculation as to what she may be doing? My first thought was a possible lease or charter to another operator. Any thoughts?

sagavista Posted January 27, 2021 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Maybe HAL hasn't finalized the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted January 27, 2021 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It is scheduled for the North Atlantic for the Voyage of the Vikings. I think the start date is July 9. Go to the roll call for the 2021 VOV and the information is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamTxCruiser Posted January 27, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted January 27, 2021 sagavista - yes, that is what I am thinking. I wonder if they will send her to Europe or do Canada/NewEngland.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamTxCruiser Posted January 27, 2021 Author #6 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Yes, thanks Mary 229. I did see that. However, I was just trying to figure out the gaps. So far all that is published is the Grand World Voyage from 1/3/22-5/12/22, the Voyage of the Vikings (and its segments) 7/9/22-8/13/22 and the Grand Africa Voyage 10/10/22-12/20/22. There are a few gaps in between. I am thinking she will probably do Canada/New England in May and June and then possibly again in August/September. I guess we will see.

She was scheduled for the Boston to Montreal run but may not be taking news reservations until Canada opens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S&B Posted January 28, 2021 #11 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Go down a few threads to "Canada and Greenland 2022" and you will see they are talking about the Nieuw Statendam for August 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leerathje Posted January 28, 2021 #12 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I saw this on another HAL site about pause in cruising: "Cruises impacted by this pause in operation are: All cruise departures through April 30, 2021. Alaska: Eurodam and Oosterdam through the first week of June (roundtrip from Seattle); Koningsdam through mid-May (roundtrip from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada); Nieuw Amsterdam and Noordam through mid-May (roundtrip Vancouver and between Vancouver and Whittier, Alaska); and Zuiderdam though early June (roundtrip from Vancouver). Mediterranean: Volendam cruises through early June (between Venice and Civitavecchia [Rome], Italy); Westerdam though early June (roundtrip from Venice or between Venice and Piraeus [Athens], Greece). Canada/New England: All Zaandam cruises through August (between Boston, Massachusetts, and Montreal, Quebec, Canada)." However, that all depends on when Canada opens their ports. I live in BC on Vancouver Island, and I know Victoria council wasn't happy with having cruise ships there at the best of times, never mind during COVID. L.

The USA has not approved sailings, either. Many seem to think this is all about Canada's restrictions but if the ships aren't allowed to sail to or from the USA then what Canada allows really doesn't matter for those itineraries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
