2021 Alaska Cruisetours now bookable

[AtlantaCruiser72]

At some point this evening HAL has uploaded the Alaska cruisetours for 2021. The patterns/offerings are similar to years past with the notable exception that all North/South cruises will Begin/End in Whittier for the 2021 season.  Nieuw Amsterdam replaces Westerdam for 2021 with Noordam continuing as in past. 
 

Several tour patterns now include “Direct to the Wilderness” train service from Whittier to Talkeetna or Denali (or reverse if doing land first), thereby bypassing Anchorage.  There are still tours that overnight in Anchorage, Aleyska and Seward as well. 
 

I did not look at the Yukon tours only at the Denali ones to see if there will be any changes.

Thanks for the heads up, was looking for the date that bookings are open, is it safe to assume that they usually open up for booking in November? 

Our current plans are for 2022, so hoping that they will open up in November 2020.

min years past the cruises were bookable in December and the cruisetours late January/early February.  this years is early. 
 

all the cruise lines seem to be releasing itineraries a full 6-8 months earlier than in past in order to lengthen the selling window and book more cabins without as much discounting.
