Embarking on a journey with Holland America Line offers an unparalleled experience, blending the allure of exploration with the comforts of luxury travel. As we look towards 2025-2026, the anticipation for adventure has never been more enticing, especially with the unveiling of Holland America Line's Panama Canal and Hawaii cruises. These meticulously curated voyages promise not only to enchant but also to immerse travellers in the depth and diversity of these iconic destinations.
The Panama Canal, a testament to human ingenuity, offers a journey like no other, and Holland America Line elevates this experience with several firsts in its upcoming season. The addition of Acajutla, El Salvador, to most of its Panama Canal sailings introduces guests to the "Pompeii of the Americas" at the Joya de Cerén archaeological site. This addition enriches the voyage with a touch of ancient history, remarkably preserved under volcanic ash.
Embarking from five North American homeports aboard five majestic ships, including the Pinnacle-Class Koningsdam and the seasoned traveller Zuiderdam, passengers are offered a variety of ways to traverse this engineering wonder. Whether departing from Miami for the first time or enjoying a daylight transit with expert commentary, each journey promises awe and enlightenment over 15 to 22 days.
The allure of Hawaii, with its vibrant culture, pristine beaches, and verdant landscapes, is undeniable. Holland America Line introduces the Nieuw Amsterdam to its Hawaii itineraries, offering roundtrip voyages from San Diego that promise an intimate exploration of the islands. With overnight stays in Honolulu, guests have ample time to soak in the iconic capital's charm and vibrancy.
The Hawaii cruises, available from October 2025 through April 2026, are not just about the destinations but also about the journey. The ships themselves, including Koningsdam and Zaandam, serve as havens of luxury and gastronomy, with options like Morimoto by Sea restaurant enhancing the culinary experience.
