Holland America Line has outlined its 2027-28 lineup for Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, offering travelers extended voyages and deeper immersion in the region.
Three ships – Westerdam, Zaandam and Koningsdam – will operate itineraries ranging from 14 to 35 days between September 2027 and March 2028. New overnight stays in Melbourne, Cairns and Lautoka will give guests added time to experience urban culture, reef adventures and Fijian hospitality.
The season features more than 100 nature-focused excursions, including wildlife encounters, glowworm grotto visits and trips to working sheep farms. Guests will also have access to 13 UNESCO World Heritage sites across the itineraries.
Onboard, Holland America’s Destination Dining program will showcase regional flavors from meat pies and pavlovas to green-lipped mussels and tropical seafood.
Early booking perks include free prepaid crew appreciation, beverage package upgrades and Premium Wi-Fi for travelers booking with the Have It All package.
Members of the Mariner Society can also earn up to $400 in onboard credit. Executives say the season delivers a balance of scenic cruising and cultural immersion across some of the Southern Hemisphere’s most compelling destinations.
