Holland America Line has officially opened reservations for its highly awaited 2027 Grand Voyages, following a successful pre-sale period. Scheduled to embark in January 2027, these two exceptional cruises—the Grand World Voyage and the Grand South America & Antarctica Voyage—offer travelers a rare opportunity to explore unique, off-the-beaten-path destinations while indulging in the luxurious and immersive experiences Holland America Line is known for.

“We know cruisers who book Grand Voyages are looking for unique experiences — and the strong interest we’ve seen in the pre-sale period shows us our guests are excited about what we’ve designed for them in 2027,” said Paul Grigsby, vice president of deployment and revenue planning for Holland America Line. “For example, we built in overnight stays in destinations like Bordeaux — with the city center only accessible via smaller ships like Volendam — as well as multi-night stays in vibrant cities like Cape Town and Buenos Aires.”

The Grand World Voyage, sailing aboard the elegant Volendam, features an itinerary packed with extended overnight and multi-night stays at seven captivating ports. Among these are the renowned wine capital Bordeaux in France, celebrated for its heritage and scenic charm, and Copenhagen, Denmark’s dynamic capital famed for its blend of historic architecture and contemporary culture. The voyage also includes several late-night arrivals, including a special stop in Malé, the bustling capital city of the Maldives, allowing guests to enjoy the vibrant island atmosphere well into the evening.

On a different route, the Grand South America & Antarctica Voyage aboard the Zaandam promises immersive exploration of five notable destinations with prolonged port times. Passengers can discover Callao (Lima), Peru, the gateway to the majestic Machu Picchu, as well as the vibrant city of Montevideo, Uruguay, known for its thriving arts scene and culinary delights, and the iconic Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, famous for its beaches, festivals, and striking landmarks.

To enrich the experience, Holland America Line offers a selection of specially designed overland excursions that provide deeper connections with the destinations. For example, travelers on the Grand World Voyage can opt for a seven-day overland tour starting from Phuket, Thailand, that ventures into India to visit the awe-inspiring Taj Mahal—one of the New Seven Wonders of the World—before reuniting with the ship in Malé. This journey combines cultural discovery with unforgettable sightseeing.

Nature lovers sailing on either voyage can choose to embark on a four-day excursion to the Galapagos Islands. This unique tour takes guests through one of the world’s most pristine environments, home to extraordinary wildlife such as giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies, Sally Lightfoot crabs, marine iguanas, and magnificent frigatebirds. The untouched landscapes and rare species make for an extraordinary encounter with nature.

What sets these Grand Voyages apart is the generous time allotted for port visits, giving travelers ample opportunity to immerse themselves in local traditions, cuisine, and hidden treasures at a leisurely pace. Whether wandering historic neighborhoods, attending local cultural events, or simply absorbing the ambiance, guests enjoy meaningful and authentic experiences. Holland America Line’s expert guides and carefully planned itineraries ensure that every stop is enriching and memorable.

The 2027 Grand Voyages offer the ultimate luxury travel experience for adventurers eager to uncover rare and fascinating destinations without compromising comfort or style. With extended overnight stays, exclusive overland tours, and the impeccable onboard service that Holland America Line delivers, these journeys promise unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.
