Dave from Ont Posted July 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2023 We had to cancel our Greek, Italy & Istanbul cruise. Just wondering if anyone knows when HAL will release it's lineup for Europe 2025. Perhaps it has already been announced and I've missed it. Thanks in advance for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted July 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2023 It must be getting close, as this question is popping up every week. Should be this month or next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some FCD and "come back and sail" OBC burning a hole in our pocket waiting for the TA's for fall 2025. Our PCC thought they would be out before end of summer.

Rare Andi Land Posted July 2, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 2, 2023 The 2024 release was done in December of 2022. So, just about 6-7 months ago. When I asked onboard last week, the cruise consultant said she didn’t have a release date yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodndonna Posted July 2, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Oddly enough, I can see some Holland itineraries for 2025 to be booked on a major on-line TA. For Europe, it is just for spring 2025 with longer repositioning cruises. A couple of days ago, they only had Alaska cruises for 2025, but today there are a few more destinations so seems like things are starting to roll out .... Still nothing on HAL's site though.

What you can see is Winter-Spring 24-25. Schedules are released by seasons, not calendar years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What puzzles me is I can see/book things like Alaska in September 2025 on a TA site, but it doesn't show up on HAL's site. Same for a couple of longer fall 2025 TA cruises...

I expect the poster you are quoting meant 'TA' to refer to 'trans-Atlantic' cruises, and not 'Travel Agents'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interpreted it as travel agent, hopefully @rodndonna can clarify. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see them anymore (maybe I was losing my mind)... but... I can still clearly see Alaska 2025 (through to October 2025) on an on-line Travel Agent booking site. I can see the cruises and cabin pricing, but will not go farther than that (gives an error if trying to book saying no cabins available). It seems odd that I can view cruises on other Travel Agent sites, before HAL's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for clarifying; I thought you meant Travel Advisor - which is why I thought it strange they could see cruises before HAL site users. Phew...glad to know my mind still works sometimes, lol.

We just got off the ship on Saturday and if I remember correctly, they said Alaska 2025 will be released any day now. Maybe that’s why it’s showing up on another site? I wonder if the other site published them earlier than allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
