The City of Rotterdam has extended its charter agreement for HAL’s Volendam until 14 September, forcing the line to cancel six departures to Norway, the British Isles and the Mediterranean.
Meanwhile, NCL has cancelled Norwegian Dawn’s voyages from 2 July until 28 July 2023 and Norwegian Getaway’s Baltic sailings through 26 October 2023.
Volendam has been home to around 1,200 Ukrainians since it docked in Rotterdam in early April and will house up to 1,500 refugees through the extended charter, part of a larger commitment from the Netherlands to accommodate 50,000 people who fled the war in their homeland.
