2026 Holiday Convoy: 173 days of rewards · Update 15.7 – 16.0

Last year, WG ran the Grand Voyage event alongside the IX GQ Johnny marathon. This year, we've redesigned the long-term winter event around freedom of choice and steady progress. Earn Holiday Convoy Tokens through daily missions or by converting stockpiled resources — similar to Salvage for Victory.

Work In Progress

The event features 11 ships in total: 7 returning ships—including fan favorites like  X Prins van Oranje and X G. Hoffmann — and 4 brand-new ships releasing in Update 15.11, with the option to earn Doubloons on top of that.

A dedicated Holiday Convoy web page will let you track your progress and browse available rewards.

Bonus Doubloons: Up to 18,000

Purchase a 3,000 Doubloons pack for 9,000 Tokens during each update (15.7 – 16.0). That's six packs total. Each pack is exclusive to its update and does not carry over. Playing twice a week (5 battles each) is enough, or swap 30,000 Coal.

7 Activity to Get Rewards

Casual / Weekend

2–3 sessions per week, 5 battles each ≈ 36,000 tokens from missions.

Convert 80,000 Coal → VIII Bismarck '41

160,000 Coal → Rare Tier IX within reach.

Consistent Daily

3k Doubloons in less than 8 days

Bismarck '41 ~50 days

Messina / Yimeng ~70 days

Rare Tier X ~117 days

Practical mix: 36 sessions (3 times/2 weeks) ≈ 44,000 tokens + 132,000 Coal → Rare Tier IX.

Earning the Legendary X Kitakami

Two scenarios for obtaining the Legendary cruiser:

• 117 days (5 battles/day) → 140,000 tokens + max 650k Coal (195k tokens) + 68k Steel or 136k RP (205k tokens).
• Every single day (173 days) → 207,600 tokens + max Coal + 46k Steel or 92k RP (137.4k tokens).

All scenarios can be accelerated with additional resource conversion.
