Europe 2022 schedules?

[sattva]

Any idea when the HAL schedules for spring/summer '22 will be issued?  Or when they usually come out?  In these crisis times, lots of things are unpredictable, but I'd like to start planning.  Thanks!

Last year they were released around the 10th of December. Let's see what will happen this year...

[Lady Arwen]

Usually, you could expect them in December, but now, who knows.  I’m also interested in ‘22 itineraries, so we ,use be patient.  Princess just released theirs a couple of days ago, and NCL recently, so hopefully HAL will catch up soon.

[SummmerInKefalonia]

NCL released recently their 2023 😛 itineraries. 2022 has been released since last April.

RCL also released theirs today.

Holland America & Celebrity Cruises have only left...

I asked about two weeks ago while talking with HAL. Was told they are hoping to have them early next year. With the reduction in ships and the shutdown scheduling has been a nightmare.

But that wasn't the issue when they released Alaska's 2022 deployment two weeks ago...

The Europe itineraries are a lot more complicated than those of Alaska. More countries involved and longer itineraries.

After 4 ships leaving this year, HAL now has a smaller fleet than before. Since we already know which ships will be in Alaska in summer 2022, at least it is not difficult to predict which of the remaining ships will sail in Europe. But for the detailed itineraries we really have to wait.

I was on the Voyage of the Viking cruise for 2021, moved to summer 2022 - was told I would have my itinerary and confirmation by December 15, 2020.

Thank you! That would mean the Europe program for 2022 could be out the 15th of Dec 2020? Fingers crossed!

Thanks for the information. Which 2021 cruise date and ship were you originally booked on?

I would like to know what’s happening in Europe 2021!   Westerdam is sailing towards North American today across the pond.

So is the N.S.

Could it be that HAL is bringing the Westerdam and N.S. back across the pond to work through the CDC standards now while they have a break in their schedules before resuming their sailings in Europe?

Same here. If that's not the case and they end up canceling, I'd sure like to rebook on our same Eastern Mediterranean itinerary in 2022.

My TA checked with HAL this morning - their reply to her was:

 

“Good morning (TA's name).  Europe 2022 is scheduled for release in early January.“

[Mandalay1903]

Thank you for the update!

[kangforpres]

It's Dec. 10th, I just checked, nothing for Europe 2022. If it's any consolation SWA has opened their schedule through Aug. 16, 2021.

Celebrity released their 2022 Europe itineraries this morning.

HAL told me they should be released in January

[BJzink]

The date I was to get a new confirmation for my "Voyage of the Vikings" moved to summer 2022, and HAL does not have any information yet.  I understand they are crazy busy trying to rebook cruises, but shouldn't give a deadline date, or keep their TA's appraised of postponed bookings.

I was on that cruise.  They expect you to make a decision by the 20th so I would be checking to see if that date has moved up also.
