Holland America Line has opened for sale nearly three dozen 2027-2028 voyages across some of its most popular regions. From overnight stays in Honolulu to British Columbia’s wilderness, the line says its newly released cruises offer deep exploration opportunities spanning Hawaii, Mexico, the Panama Canal and the Pacific Coast.
Guests will travel aboard Koningsdam, Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam or Zaandam, with sailings operating October through April from five North American homeports.
“Whether guests are chasing the sun in Hawaii or seeking the rugged, untouched beauty of the Great Bear Rainforest, this season truly has something for every type of cruiser,” said Paul Grigsby, VP of itinerary planning and deployment. “
Blending immersive shore excursions, cultural programming and opportunities to encounter wildlife and landscapes up close, the newly released itineraries offer ways for guests to explore each region in greater depth.
Hawaii: Longer Stays Unlock Deeper Island Discovery
2027-2028 Hawaii sailings feature extended Honolulu stays, plus calls to iconic natural sites including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, black‑sand beaches, lush rainforests and the famed “Land of Frozen Fire.” Guests can enjoy Hawaii Up Close cultural programming — ranging from agriculture and local history to native arts and geology — along with stargazing, luaus and authentic island‑themed entertainment.

Panama Canal: A Front‑Row Seat to One of the World’s Engineering Marvels
Itineraries from 14 to 22 days give guests a front‑row look at the Gatun, Pedro Miguel and Miraflores Locks, an engineering marvel surrounded by wildlife‑rich rainforests. Voyages include access to UNESCO World Heritage sites, Mayan archaeological discoveries, sloth sanctuaries, volcano hikes and coastal cultural immersions across Central America.
Mexico: Sea of Cortez, Riviera Classics and Hidden Gems — All in One Season
Mexico sailings offer a wide range of getaway options, from short warm‑weather escapes to in‑depth Baja and Sea of Cortez exploration. Guests can experience the Mexican Riviera, the Baja Peninsula and UNESCO‑recognized natural settings through curated cultural, wildlife and adventure excursions — all supported by Destination Dining™ and fresh regional cuisine on board.
Pacific Coast: Scenic Coastlines, Wildlife Encounters and West Coast Flavour
The Pacific Coast season includes 1‑ to 7‑day voyages and brings back the guest‑favorite Great Bear Rainforest itinerary, sailing roundtrip from Vancouver in 2028. These itineraries highlight coastal charm, wildlife viewing, British Columbia’s fjord-like waterways, and port calls across California and the Pacific Northwest, reinforcing Holland America Line’s West Coast expertise.
