Holland America Line has officially opened reservations for its highly anticipated 2027 Grand Voyages, following a successful pre-sale period. Set to embark in January 2027, these two exceptional cruises—the Grand World Voyage aboard the Volendam and the Grand South America & Antarctica Voyage aboard the Zaandam—offer travelers rare opportunities to explore unique, off-the-beaten-path destinations while indulging in the luxurious and immersive experiences Holland America Line is renowned for.
The 129-day Grand World Voyage will sail roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, visiting 53 ports across 28 countries on six continents. Highlights include overnight stays in cities such as Bordeaux, France; Copenhagen, Denmark; Cape Town, South Africa; Bali, Indonesia; Sydney, Australia; Papeete, French Polynesia; and Callao (Lima), Peru. Notably, 19 ports on this itinerary are exclusive to Grand Voyages, including Georgetown, Ascension Island, and Jamestown, St. Helena—remote destinations rarely accessible on traditional cruises.
Travelers seeking a more region-focused experience can opt for the 70-day Grand South America & Antarctica Voyage, also departing roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale. This journey encompasses 31 ports in 13 countries, with overnight stays in Fuerte Amador (Panama City), Callao (Lima), Montevideo, Buenos Aires, and Rio de Janeiro. A standout feature is the four-day Holland America Line Antarctica Experience, offering scenic cruising amid the continent’s spectacular icebergs and wildlife.
Both Grand Voyages offer immersive overland adventures for guests eager to deepen their exploration. For instance, travelers on the Grand World Voyage can embark on a seven-day tour from Phuket, Thailand, to India, culminating with an up-close visit to the Taj Mahal before rejoining the ship in Malé. Additionally, guests on both voyages have the option to experience a four-day overland excursion to the Galapagos Islands, renowned for their pristine landscapes and extraordinary wildlife.
Early booking incentives for these voyages include up to $2,000 in onboard credit per guest, a 3% discount for full payment, complimentary Wi-Fi Surf packages, and additional perks such as a $500 air credit per person when booked through Flight Ease, along with complimentary roundtrip airport transfers in Fort Lauderdale.
Throughout each Grand Voyage, Holland America Line ensures impeccable service, luxurious amenities, and engaging activities. Guests can unwind during relaxed sea days or participate in enriching onboard programs. Evenings come alive with cultural performances and special guest entertainers, while festive gala balls and elegant dress nights create lasting memories, culminating in the distinguished Captain’s Grand Voyage Dinner.
Dining aboard these voyages reaches new heights with daily rotating menus that showcase fresh, local ingredients and regional specialties, offering guests a culinary journey to match the exceptional destinations visited.
