HAL's four-ship Europe 2026 has 11 departure ports

The departure ports are Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Boston, Civitavecchia (Rome), Trieste, Dover, Lisbon, Piraeus, Reykjavik and Fort Lauderdale.

Mediterranean

Oosterdam will sail seven- to-14-day Mediterranean itineraries departing from five homeports: Lisbon, Piraeus, Barcelona, Civitavecchia and Trieste. Cruises may be combined into 28 'Collectors' Voyages' spanning from 14 to 27 days; voyages up to 21 days have no repeat ports.

'We've included some of our most requested calls, including Sicily and Portofino, two of 11 ports of call in Italy. And, for the first time in over 15 years, we're returning to St. Tropez, France,' said Paul Grigsby, VP revenue planning and deployment.

Two Pinnacle-class ships in Northern Europe

The Pinnacle-class Nieuw Statendam and Rotterdam will return to homeport in Rotterdam. And Nieuw Statendam will return to Dover, offering UK roundtrips on select sailings.

The 2026 offerings include more seven-day cruises to Norway's fjords and seven-day open-jaw sailings between Reykjavik and Rotterdam.
