Thanks. This is great info. Please update from time to time.

Still kind of bummed out over Templeton Tours charter 'bumping' The Duck Crew's 14-Day Alaska. Don't understand how HAL can justify taking a 7-day booking for a ship that is in the middle of a series of 14-day itineraries. Don't that have any other ships that are on 7-day schedules?

Very good point, John.

I hope to keep updating as I find out charters.

Templeton did the same thing last year -- they like the Amsterdam -- it is a smaller ship and easier to fill with a charter the size of their groups.

There is the Westerdam -- but they can't get enough people to fill their charter.

That is why last year the Bill and Gloria Gaither group chartered the second week -- smaller ship.

 

[ShipMaven]

Yonnie - Zaandam and Volendam are essentially the same size as Amsterdam (she, and the Rotterdam, are the R-Class ships as you know).

 

[Krazy Kruizers]

I think the problem is they want round trip cruises -- which Westerdam does out of Seattle.

Sadly the thread where I got the information from on CC has been pulled.

I know I saw another chartered cruise on there Ryndam for June 2.

I check there site. the Casino and all the bars will be close and no entertenment except their speakers will be allow.
it must be costing them plenty, because HAL makes lots of money with the Casino and the booze.

If you check the link for the Templeton cruise - you will see that it costs a pretty penny for a 1 week Charter cruise. HAL charges quite a lot more for these cruises to make up for the other revenue loss.

Not all chartered cruises are the bars and casino closed. It depends on the group.
