Holland America Line Announces 2027 Grand Voyages

Holland America Line has revealed itineraries for its two 2027 Grand Voyages, featuring a 129-day circumnavigation of the globe onboard Volendam and a 70-day exploration of South America and Antarctica onboard Zaandam.

These meticulously designed cruises sail to bucket-list locations and rare ports, as well as multiple overnight and extended calls in sought-after destinations.

On the 2027 Grand World Voyage, Volendam will sail round-trip from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, visiting 53 ports in 28 countries and with overnight calls at seven destinations. 19 of these ports will be exclusive to Grand Voyages, including Georgetown, Ascension Island, and Jamestown, St. Helena.

For those sailing onboard Zaandam for the 2027 Grand South America and Antarctica itinerary, guests will sail round-trip from Fort Lauderdale, visiting 31 ports across 13 countries in total, plus the four-day Holland America Line Antarctica Experience. This cruise will also feature seven ports exclusive to Grand Voyages, including Robinson Crusoe Island off the coast of Chile.

"When you sail on one of our Grand Voyages, we know you're looking for experiences you can't have anywhere else, and part of that is the carefully crafted itineraries featuring unique ports of call. I'm very excited to announce the Mariners' Collection — a special series of ports that are only featured on our Grand Voyages. These are bucket-list and often hard-to-reach destinations you might not visit otherwise."

- Beth Bodensteiner, President of Holland America Line
