Here is the latest update of 2026 for the Dry Docks, Charters & Groups information.
Dry Dock dates are problematic to confirm. The dates shown are mostly guess work based on gaps in the individual ship sailing schedule on the HAL site and also on validity dates of deck plans on the HAL site.
Many charters repeat annually, so the gaps will probably be reserved for some of the ‘usual suspect’, but until their websites are updated I am unable to list their details.
For any errors, I apologise in advance!
On the ‘Groups’ element, please remember that I can only post information that is available on the web or from verified information posted by others. There is always the chance that you will encounter a group on your cruise, perhaps a large family group, a ‘clan’ group or possibly Corporate Incentive/Marketing groups, which may or may not impinge on facilities onboard.
Thanks to those who help with the gathering of this information and as usual, if you can provide any information on upcoming Dry Docks, Charters or Groups, then please email me (candecruising@gmail.com) and I will update the information in the coming days.
Recently discovered information is shown in RED.
