Thank you to all who posted useful information. I guess forewarned is forearmed. We will just plan to be careful.

Further, I understand that traveling exposes one to differences in culture. That is one of the attractions of seeing faraway places. I’m not anti-hunting. I just don’t care to witness it taking place.

Also, I appreciate that for a majority of people (myself included), meat is food. Nevertheless, I would be highly unlikely to schedule a vacation trip that included a tour of an abattoir.

We cruise for fun, and we will make sure that the upcoming trip meets that goal.

Regards to all....:)

We've booked on HAL Veendam for Voyage of the Vikings, and have really been looking forward to it. But today, my wife got an email from a friend who warned her that we may be cruising there during their local whale hunting season. The details of the hunt that were shared in the email were quite gruesome.

Surely HAL would be sensitive to an issue that might be upsetting to some guests, wouldn't they?

Has anyone any experience to share?

Thank you.....
