Holland America Line’s Eurodam will take on the previously scheduled cruises of Westerdam in the Mediterranean this autumn.
The cruise line has already announced Eurodam will resume sailing on August 15, with a series of four cruises from Greece.
Now it has said the ship will sail five 12-day itineraries from Italy, Greece or Spain from September 12 until its transatlantic departure on October 30.
Eurodam will offer five 12-day roundtrip itineraries from Venice, Italy; between Venice and Piraeus (Athens), Greece; Venice and Barcelona, Spain; or from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Bookings open on Thursday (May 27) for these cruises.
Guests who were booked on Westerdam cruises automatically will be rebooked on the same departure date aboard Eurodam in a comparable stateroom.
As a Signature Class vessel, Eurodam has a slightly larger capacity and will be able to accommodate all Westerdam guests (Eurodam 2,104; Westerdam 1,964).
The 12-day cruises can be combined to form 24-day Collectors’ Voyages which represent “significant savings” from booking the two itineraries separately.
Immediately following its transatlantic crossing, Eurodam is expected to begin its scheduled Caribbean season of roundtrip cruises from Fort Lauderdale. F
rom November 2021 through March 2022, guests can embark on seven-, 10- and 11-day itineraries that explore the eastern, southern and tropical Caribbean, as well as partial Panama Canal cruises that spend a day on Gatun Lake.
These Holland America Line cruises in 2021 to the Mediterranean are available for guests who have received their final dose of an approved Covid-19 vaccine at least 14 days before the beginning of the cruise.
