The amendments affect the last 43 days of the 124-day cruise and HAL’s Zuiderdam ship will now visit one more port than originally planned. It will call at 49 ports across 34 countries and territories.
HAL has added new ports in Africa and Europe plus a call in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and removed calls in the Red Sea to protect the safety of guests.
The round-trip voyage will still finish on 9 May 2025 in Fort Lauderdale, US.
Earlier this year, HAL’s parent company Carnival Corporation confirmed it has rerouted 12 ships’ itineraries due to escalating tensions in the Red Sea and surrounding region.
Beth Bodensteiner, HAL’s chief commercial officer, said: "The safety of our guests and crew is of the utmost importance, and we have made the decision to avoid the Red Sea after close consultation with global security experts and government authorities.
"Making this change now allows us to provide certainty for our guests in preparing for this 124-day trip around the world.”
She added: “The new itinerary was built with guest experience top of mind and maintains exciting European and African destinations with even more ports to explore in the Mediterranean."
