The current WC was massively re-routed and went nowhere near the Red Sea & Suez Canal. Pete (the inside cabin) did a detailed report of Gus's presentation on 2026 and his Q&A. HAL is reviewing the itinerary for 2025 now and will probably make similar change away from the Red Sea & Suez Canal for 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandwoman Posted February 26 #20 Share Posted February 26 I understand that HAL will not be taking bookings until May. I have asked our TA to waitlist us for it. Does anyone know whether HAL is taking waitlists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REOVA Posted February 26 #21 Share Posted February 26 1 hour ago, CNSJ said: Is this the first World Cruise with Antarctica? No. Fortunately 2020 went there. One of the reasons Captain Jonathan stayed until 2020 as they enticed him with possible Zodiacs. (Which HAL didn't have and its ships are not Polar class so they cannot do excursions closer to the Continent). 2026 is similar to the planned 2020 up until after the Maldives. (Of course it ended short after Cairns and sailing around to Freemantle to fly home). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to make a minimal place holder "future dam" refundable deposit to get in line for when actual booking opens for people who are not on the current world cruise. For the 2026 WC it's $200 which is applied to your booking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
