New ship in Europe for Holland America Line
Holland American Line, which will have a 13-strong fleet with the introduction of Noordam in the Caribbean next February, has released details of 500 cruises in a worldwide cruises programme which features an expanded range of itineraries in Alaska.
New itineraries to Australia, New Zealand and Asia are included alongside Europe, Caribbean, Panama Canal, Mexico, Hawaii, Canada and South America.
HAL is positioning eight ships offering 10 itineraries in Alaska from May to September next year.
The addition of Noordam will mean the line will have four ships in Europe in 2006, one more than this year: Rotterdam (Mediterranean & Baltic), Noordam (Mediterranean & transatlantic, Amsterdam (Baltic) and Prinsendam (Northern Europe, Mediterranean & Western Europe).
Holland American Line is to deploy its new ship Noordam in the Mediterranean next summer as part of an enhanced European focus.
The premium cruise company is to offer two different alternating 10-night Med fly-cruises on 1,848-passenger Noordam from Rome. Destinations include the Black Sea, Adriatic and European cities.
HAL is also bringing the 1,316-passenger Rotterdam to offer ex-UK cruises from Harwich to the Baltic, Scandinavia and Russia in 2006.
The line’s Statendam will embark on a 14-day Australia and New Zealand cruise taking in Sydney, Melbourne and New Zealand’s Fjordland.
Fifteen Panama Canal itineraries are featured by seven ships, mainly in spring and autumn 2006, including the Caribbean, River Amazon and Costa Rica.
UK & Ireland sales and marketing director Lynn Narraway said: “For 2006 we have created an eye-catching ‘cruise catalogue’ that’s simple to use. The brochure features Holland America Line’s new Signature of Excellence enhancements and all itineraries presented clearly and concisely, while the fare guide insert provides full, mainly, fly-cruise price grids.”
