| HAL to resume Alaska 11 Mar 22

THE newly published Canadian cruise procedures (CW 08 Mar) have cleared the way for Holland America Line’s (HAL) full Alaska and Canada & New England seasons.

Departing from Vancouver, Alaska cruises will call at Victoria; while Canada/New England itineraries will depart Quebec and explore 13 ports.

HAL’s first ship to arrive in Canada will be Koningsdam, which will call at Victoria on 09 Apr en route to Vancouver, where she will arrive a day later.

On the eastern seaboard, Zaandam will call at Halifax on 17 May while on a nine-day Atlantic Coast cruise sailing from Fort Lauderdale to Montreal.

“The completion of this guidance by Transport Canada, Canada Border Services Agency, Public Health Agency of Canada, and port officials will allow us to sail our Alaska and Canada/New England seasons as planned,” said President Gus Antorcha.

“This is a positive step for everyone who loves to travel to these regions and for all of the businesses in Canada that we support through tourism.”
