Rare VMax1700 Posted August 1, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Good morning and welcome to the August 2022 edition of Dry Docks, Charters and Groups. The Dry Dock situation continues to be a puzzle. Volendam and Zaandam were in Cadiz for longer than 3 weeks. There does not appear to be a gap in Nieuw Amsterdam's schedule during 2022/2023 for her overdue dry dock and Nieuw Statendam is getting close to dry dock time. On the Charters front, there continues to be gaps in sailing schedules, but I cannot find any information on what is happening to the ships during those gaps. I would expect a substantial increase in Group bookings over the coming months as the Groups find their appetite for cruising and HAL enjoys the benefits of a block booking and probably substantial deposits. Please note that the sailings listed are taken from various sources so it is possible that the itinerary does not coincide with the currently published HAL itinerary. As usual, if you have information about groups charters or dry docks then please post here and I will update in the next file. New information since last update is shown in RED.

Thanks! Thank you, #VMax1700, for continuing to assemble this information. I find it useful (and reassuring) when booking and monitoring our travel. Question for you. There seems to be a gap in the Westerdam's schedule on the HAL site from 1/19/2023 to 2/3/2023. Both of these dates have the ship in Singapore, but I don't see any itineraries even when using the Sold Out filter. I was under the impression that this was to be a dry dock scheduled for Westerdam. Do you have any information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueridgemama Posted October 18, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I believe the Eurodam is going into dry dock in February 2023 as my March cruise was pushed back a week because of it. do you have any idea what they are planning to do in the dry dock or is there a site that addresses dry docks?

Nang Posted October 19, 2022 #10 Share Posted October 19, 2022 There seems to be a gap in the Nieuw Statendam's schedule from 6-25 Nov 2023. It finishes/starts again in Civi. Is this a dry dock? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
