Holland America Line Updates Summer 2021 Europe Cruise Schedule
Eurodam maintains recently announced Mediterranean season through October;
Nieuw Statendam and Volendam cruises will be canceled; Rotterdam’s season
shifted
Seattle, Wash., June 10, 2021 — While Holland America Line continues to work
with governments and port authorities in correlation with the phased
resumption of cruising, it is canceling the remainder of the summer 2021
European sailings aboard two ships, Nieuw Statendam and Volendam. This affects
cruises that were scheduled to depart from September through November, along
with the Collectors’ Voyages (combined cruises) associated with those
departures.
In addition, after an expected on-schedule delivery from the Fincantieri
shipyard July 30, Rotterdam will remain in non-guest operations until its
Sept. 26 cruise from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Plans for Rotterdam’s
naming ceremony are being finalized.
Guests Moved to a Europe Cruise in 2021 or 2022
Guests currently booked on canceled Nieuw Statendam and Volendam departures
automatically will be moved to a 2021 cruise on Eurodam in the Mediterranean,
beginning with the Aug. 15 cruise through the Oct. 30 transatlantic crossing,
and receive a $100 Onboard Spending Credit per person.
Nieuw Statendam and Volendam guests also can choose to move to an equivalent
cruise in 2022 at the 2021 fare or receive a Future Cruise Credit of 110% of
any cash paid that will be placed in the guest’s loyalty account.
Guests currently booked on a canceled Rotterdam voyage may select an
equivalent sailing in 2022 at the 2021 fare paid, or they can choose to
receive a Future Cruise Credit of 110% of any cash paid.
Any guest on a canceled voyage also can request a full refund of all monies
paid to Holland America Line.
