Holland America Line is introducing extended "Legendary Voyages" to commemorate its historic 150th anniversary in 2023. These lengthier cruises, which range from 25 to 59 days, combine the ceremony of Holland America Line’s "Grand Voyages" with itineraries that offer a comprehensive collection of ports.
Most of Holland America Line’s "Legendary Voyages" sail roundtrip or to/from a North American homeport, allowing travelers to see the world from their doorstep with a convenient domestic flight and easy embarkation. The itineraries are offered on a variety of the line’s ships, bringing guests to Australia and New Zealand, the Amazon and South America, South Pacific and Hawaii, Greenland and Iceland, Asia, Alaska and the Arctic Circle.
Three "Legendary Voyages" are new itineraries for Holland America Line, which include:
- The previously announced 28-day “Arctic Circle Solstice” that heads north to the Arctic Circle and includes 11 calls in Alaska, including lesser-visited ports like Nome and Homer.
- 53-day “Majestic Japan” with 21 total ports, 13 calls throughout Japan and overnights at Yokohama (Tokyo) and Kobe.
- 28-day “Coral Triangle, Volcanoes and The Great Barrier Reef” that explores 10 ports in five countries, with scenic cruising in the famed Great Barrier Reef, Torres Strait, and past the Kumba and Krakatau volcanoes.
Guests will enjoy the “best of” Grand Voyages on-board programming to further enhance each "Legendary Voyage" with experiences such as iconic theme parties, memorable sailaways and classic cruise activities. Shipboard programming is specially curated to share insights into the history and culture of the destinations visited. Guests also have more time in port to experience the nightlife with overnight stays in marquee ports including Anchorage, Alaska; Hobart, Tasmania; Honolulu, Hawaii; Manaus, Brazil; Moorea, French Polynesia; Papeete, Tahiti; Reykjavík, Iceland; and Yokohama (Tokyo) and Kobe, Japan.
