Shattered__minds Posted November 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2015 New to Holland and was looking at the available cruises they have on their site. Is there a difference between a Wayfarer classified cruise and a Seafarer? if so what is that difference? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted November 12, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2015 They're different itineraries. Seafarer goes to the ABC islands and Wayfarer goes to eastern Caribbean islands. Here is a sample wayfarer itinerary, 11 days: http://www.hollandamerica.com/find-cruise-vacation/CruiseDetails.action?webItineraryIdForAudit=C6SW11&fromSearchVacation=true&destList=CE,CF,CS,CT,CW&dateCode=1_2016&flexibleMonths=false&noOfFlexibleMonths=1&portCode=&shipCodeSearch=&voyageCode=O608 Here is a sample seafarer itinerary, 10 days: http://www.hollandamerica.com/find-cruise-vacation/CruiseDetails.action?destCode=C&portCode=&shipCodeSearch=&dateCode=1_2016&flexibleMonths=false&noOfFlexibleMonths=1&pageNumber=0&voyageCode=O607&directionCode=S&tabName=ItineraryDetails&fromSearchVacation=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted November 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I've done both itineraries a number of times and have totally enjoyed them each time. If there are some islands you particularly wish to visit, choose that itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iflyrc5 Posted November 12, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 12, 2015 You can also often do both for a 21 day "Collectors Cruise". We have done that several times and doing it again in Jan/Feb only twice so will be onboard for 42 days.:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it make more sense to call reservations:confused:? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I've seen the terminology many times I didn't know they referred to specific itineraries :o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted November 12, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 12, 2015 We have done the Seafarer and Wayfarer as back-to-back (now called Collectors Cruises) quite a few times. We really enjoy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruz chic Posted November 12, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 12, 2015 ... sure would IF OP was ready to make reservations for a specific cruise ... but for general cruise itinerary information, IMO Ship Services would be as good a source for such info ... I've phoned many cruise reservation lines without following thru with a booking. I've always asked questions there. Not once have I been transferred to ship services. The op can start there but it seems a waste. Ship services wouldn't be the right place. I want the op to have correct information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avian777 Posted November 12, 2015 #11 Share Posted November 12, 2015 ... I want the op to have correct information. Ditto here, which is why I suggested alternative sources - i.e., that OP "check the HAL web site or call HAL Ship Services for details". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie68 Posted November 12, 2015 #12 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I've got a Wayfarer/Seafarer booked. 21 days Caribbean, no repeated ports apart from FLL.:D Basically a Collectors cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted November 12, 2015 #13 Share Posted November 12, 2015 We did these two as a Collectors' Cruise on the Noordam in 2013. Either is an excellent choice and the two combined is even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shattered__minds Posted November 12, 2015 Author #14 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks all had no idea the naming was just itinerary names that's a first. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
