Holland America Line’s Full Fleet Is Sailing Again

For the first time since the pause began in March 2020, Holland America Line’s full complement of 11 ships have returned to service.  The final vessel – the Westerdam – has just embarked on a seven-day Alaska Explorer cruise roundtrip from Seattle that will position it in Alaska through the end of September.

Following its season in Alaska, Westerdam will embark on an epic 36-day “South Pacific Crossing” repositioning from Seattle to Sydney, Australia. During this period, the ship will make 17 calls at some of the world’s most iconic islands and tropical locations. Westerdam will then offer a season of roundtrip from Sydney itineraries to the north and south islands of New Zealand, in addition to southern Australia. In December 2022, the ship sails along the east coast of the continent up to Singapore via the Great Barrier Reef. In early 2023, Westerdam offers cruises to Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, China and the Philippines before crossing back to North America for another season in Alaska.

Since Holland America Line restarted cruising in July 2021, Eurodam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Nieuw Statendam, Noordam, Oosterdam, Rotterdam, Zaandam and Zuiderdam have returned to service with cruises in Alaska, the Caribbean, Europe, Mexico, California Coast and South Pacific. Volendam currently is under charter by the government of the Netherlands, accommodating Ukrainian families, and will sail Mediterranean voyages from Italy starting in September.
