Iceland – Mystery and Magic
Let yourself be enchanted by Iceland, the land of fire and ice. From geysers and lava fields to glaciers and hot springs: every stop reveals a new natural wonder. Reykjavik, the northernmost capital in the world, offers a unique mix of culture and rugged nature.
Baltic States – Culture and History
Cruises to the Baltic States bring you to fascinating cities like Tallinn, Riga, and Stockholm. Discover medieval streets, admire impressive architecture, and dive into a rich history that dates back to the Hanseatic period.
United Kingdom – Classic and Surprising
From the bustling metropolis of London to the rugged coasts of Scotland and the lively port city of Liverpool: the United Kingdom combines culture, history, and nature. Each port of call has its own character and charm.
Northern Lights Cruises to the North Cape
In 2026, you can embark on a unique cruise experience with a route to the magical North Cape. The northernmost point of Europe offers a spectacular view over the Barents Sea and a sense of pure wilderness. The journey takes you along rugged coasts, charming fishing villages, and untouched nature.
What makes this cruise extra special? The high chance of seeing the Northern Lights. Especially in the early autumn, there is a great chance that you can admire this natural phenomenon from the deck – an experience you will not soon forget.
Onboard Experience
The era of mandatory formal wear every evening is long gone. On board the elegant ships of Holland America Line, you can dine when and where you choose. While many guests enjoy the elegance of a gala evening in our specialty restaurants, you are always free to keep it casual. Head to the Lido Market, explore our other diverse dining venues, or simply relax with 24/7 room service delivered to your stateroom.
At Holland America Line, everything is centered on your enjoyment. From an informal lunch by the pool to exotic Oriental dishes or a cozy fish brasserie, you have plenty of choice on board.
Indulge in a refined sushi roll with yuzu tuna and guacamole, or taste a perfectly grilled burger next to the pool. Start the day in the Lido Market with an extensive breakfast buffet, or visit The Dining Room for a fine breakfast, relaxed lunch, or an unforgettable dinner.
In Canaletto, you can enjoy authentic Italian, while Rudi’s Sel de Mer offers the diverse flavors of the Mediterranean. The Pinnacle Grill steakhouse serves dishes inspired by the Pacific Northwest, and for those who love the flavors of the Orient, Nami Sushi or Tamarind is the perfect choice for dinner.
There is much to experience in terms of entertainment. Be surprised by renowned singers, dancers, and musicians from all over the world, or relax in one of the many bars and lounges in the most beautiful areas of the ship.
Swing along in the B.B. King’s Blues Club or sing along with Billboard Onboard. The World Stage—featured on the Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam, and the newest ship, the Rotterdam—makes every performance special with 270-degree LED screens. For those who enjoy a late night, try your luck at the blackjack table or the roulette wheel in the casino.
In the Greenhouse Spa & Salon, you can enjoy a wonderful massage or a rejuvenating facial. The fitness center offers yoga and Pilates classes alongside the latest cardio and weight machines. On deck, you will find two swimming pools and whirlpools, or you can unwind in the sauna or thermal suite.
