HAL, Princess Cruises cancel Seattle sailings through late June

Sunday, 17 Mar, 2021 0

Holland America Line has announced a further extension in the pause of cruise operations to now include all June 2021 roundtrip sailings to Alaska from Seattle.

It includes six cruises on Eurodam and Oosterdam with a call at Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Alaska cruises sailing roundtrip from Seattle departing in July and later have not been canceled yet.

Following the earlier Canadian Transport Ministry Interim Order that closed Canadian ports to passenger vessels, discussions continue with Canadian and United States government authorities to try to preserve remaining Seattle Alaska sailings.

"We continue to stay actively engaged in dialogue with authorities in Canada and the United States to understand what cruise opportunities may still exist in Alaska, knowing how important this market is not only to our brand, but to the communities and individuals who depend on our business," said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line.

Guests currently booked on the canceled roundtrip Seattle-Alaska departures will automatically be moved to an equivalent cruise in 2022 at the 2021 fare.

Once a new booking confirmation is received, if guests decide not to accept the 2022 cruise booking, they will have the option to decline the booking and receive an FCC of 110% of any cash paid. Guests will also be able to request a full refund.

In addition, Princess Cruises has also canceled cruises from Seattle through 27 June.

It affects seven-day Alaska Inside Passage cruises on Emerald Princess and Majestic Princess.
