Nearly Three Dozen New Cruises Unveiled for 2027-2028, Highlighting Deeper Exploration

Holland America Line has pulled back the curtain on its 2027-2028 cruise calendar, introducing close to thirty-six new voyages that promise travelers extended adventures across Hawaii, Mexico, the Panama Canal, and the Pacific Coast. The cruise line's latest offering features longer overnight stays in Honolulu and rare itineraries deep into the Sea of Cortez—raising the bar for immersive regional discovery.

Hawaii Cruises: Extended Honolulu Stays Unlock Island Immersion

For those drawn to the Pacific, the 2027-2028 season features 17- and 18-day Circle Hawaii sailings, all highlighted by extended, sometimes up to 40-hour stays in Honolulu. Beyond world-renowned coastlines, these trips bring cruisers up close with local traditions—from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and black-sand beaches to luaus, stargazing, and dedicated 'Hawaii Up Close' cultural programs. Every itinerary calls at Kauai, Maui, and both sides of the Big Island, with selected voyages extending to Ensenada, Mexico.

Panama Canal: Choice of Four Lengthy Journeys to Engineering Marvels and Rainforests

For guests craving a front-row view of the Panama Canal's iconic locks and the biodiversity that surrounds them, options range from 14- to 22-day adventures. Beyond marveling at engineering feats, travelers can encounter UNESCO-listed sites, Mayan ruins, sloth sanctuaries, volcano hikes, and local culture throughout Central America. Itineraries span coast-to-coast, such as Fort Lauderdale to San Diego, with varied stops in Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and across Mexico, Costa Rica, and Aruba.

Region Sample Voyages Highlights
Hawaii 17-18 days, Koningsdam/Zaandam Extended overnight in Honolulu, cultural immersion, volcanic parks
Panama Canal 14-22 days, Zaandam/Eurodam Locks, rainforests, UNESCO sites, wildlife, cross-coastal trips

Mexico: From Weekend Getaways to Hidden Gems in the Sea of Cortez

Mexico-bound travelers can choose from quick five-day escapes to extended 12-day journeys unlocking less-traveled corners of the Baja Peninsula and Sea of Cortez. Each voyage is paired with curated cultural, wildlife, and adventure excursions—plus locally driven flavors through Destination Dining™ and the cruise line’s Global Fresh Fish Program. Multiple homeports across North America make these trips both accessible and appealing for winter sun-seekers.

Pacific Coast: Great Bear Rainforest Returns, Along With Scenic and Culinary Focus

The Pacific Coast program features 1- to 7-day journeys, including a sought-after roundtrip voyage into Canada’s Great Bear Rainforest. Expect a blend of wildlife viewing, charming coastal towns, and experiences that reinforce Holland America Line's legacy along the West Coast. Overnight stays, late-night departures, and stops at iconic ports like San Francisco and Victoria, BC offer more ways to connect deeply with the region.

Early Booking Perks Sweeten the Deal for Loyalty Members

New bookings made with the premium Have It All package unlock additional amenities—free prepaid crew appreciation, beverage upgrades, premium Wi-Fi, and select onboard perks. Returning guests enrolled in the Mariner Society can earn up to $400 in onboard credit per stateroom. These bonuses encourage early commitments for the prime travel windows across all four highlighted regions.

What Sets These Voyages Apart?

With longer port calls, mid-sized ships, and a strong emphasis on cultural immersion, Holland America Line is clearly catering to travelers ready to dive deeper, not just island-hop or city-skip. Those interested in combining adventure and enrichment with comfort may want to look at these new options while introductory perks remain in effect.
