HAL Voyage of the Vikings 2017

I have been looking on the HAL website and cannot find any V of V cruise for 2017 in July or August. Are they not having those cruises or is it too early to be posted on their website. Thanks for any info.

HAL has had a V of V cruise every year for a long time and it usually sells out fairly rapidly. I expect that it is just to early to be posted on the website.

Be patient.

I am sure that HAL will have a Voyage of the Vikings.

This past year HAL has been late posting a lot of itineraries.

Typically it will be released at the exact same time as all of Europe for a given year (excl Prinsendam, those come out separate)

When is that schedule generally released? 2nd quarter 2016?

First or second quarter

I talked to my PCC about a Europe 2017 cruise yesterday. She was able to see itinerary and give me pricing. They just aren't on the website yet. I was looking at a 12 day Norway//Scotland itinerary.

We did the Voyage of the Vikings this year - great cruise. It is in late July and Aug so the schedule won't be out for a while.

I have given up waiting upon HAL to release itineraries. I go to another website and find the itinerary I want then contact my travel agent and book it.

Wow. Itinerary is starting and ending late in the season. Interesting that they are attempting Prince Christian Sund twice. We didn't make it on our VOV cruise. Captain tried for about an hour.

I would love to start making plans for 2017.

The ship will be Rotterdam. Never been on this one and the reviews are mixed. This cruise has been on our bucket list for quite some time. We now have the time but need to be sure we will enjoy the ship (Love the itinerary) and that we can justify / afford a room with veranda.

I've done the VOV in segments, twice. 2001 on Amsterdam Copenhagen back to NYC, and in 2004 on Rotterdam NYC to Amsterdam. Either of those 2 ships would be splendid for the trip but it's such a great itinerary I'd take it on any HAL ship. And don't delay in booking it!

I have given up waiting upon HAL to release itineraries. I go to another website and find the itinerary I want then contact my travel agent and book it.

Could you let me know what your "other website" is? Thanks. We've never sailed HAL but love some of the itineraries, including this one.

It is against CC guidelines for me to mention a website here but if you do a Google search using "cruise vacations" you will find the site in the top three adds. You will be asked to register but then you can search by month, cruise line, port, length of cruise, etc.

This is not the same site, but the more the merrier! I just want to book! I just booked a July 2017 14 day Norway cruise on HAL last week...or is that last year :p .

Wow...I have the time to do the 38 days but will have to convince myself and DW that an ocean view room will work for us for this cruise!

We did the transAtlantic on the Eurodam ocean view room. Denmark Norway, Iceland Greenland etc. Aug into Sept. Worked out just fine for us.

I wondered which ship would do VoV. Rotterdam did it before Maasdam and now they're back to Rotterdam. That's a good ship for that itinerary. IMO

This will be a retirement present if still offered in 25 years when we hit 59. Who knows what cruising will be like then, ha.

We haven't been on this ship yet and are use to veranda cabins but if we do VoV in 2017 would need to either go with Lanai or unobstructed ocean view. I get abit claustrophobic so need large port hole window at a minimum. Very thankful we have the problem of deciding which will workout best.

Thanks. I've learned something new this year!

I'm waiting for the Australia, New Zealand, and South Pacific out of San Diego in September 2017. Couldn't pull it up on the one of the top three sites under Cruise Vacations. Did I do it wrong?

No, you did nothing. I just went in to check for you and there are no cruises listed leaving from Sad Diego from August through October. There is nothing, in fact, in the Pacific...or the South Pacific.

Alaska, Transatlantic, Norway, Baltics, Canada/New England, British and Greek Isles, Mediterranean, Northern Europe, and repositioning but no Australian, New Zealand or South Pacific. Sorry. The repositioning are all from Europe back to Florida.

Keep checking!

I found this for 2016 to give you an idea (it was the only one listed from September through October 2016:

39 nights departing September 29, 2016 on
