Holland America sets a course for Canada & New England in 2027

Holland America Line has unveiled its 2027 Canada & New England season, featuring a collection of cruises designed to showcase the region’s storied national parks and rich heritage — as well as a new itinerary dedicated to the area’s iconic lighthouses.

In addition to exploring UNESCO World Heritage sites and vibrant cities, guests can expect a front-row seat to the region’s stunning scenery while also enjoying an authentic onboard experience.

From May to October, Volendam and Zuiderdam will sail 20 voyages across 13 itineraries, offering guests cruise vacations between seven and 14 days. Each voyage will highlight Canada and New England’s charming cities, culinary delights, rich maritime history and natural wonders. Thanks to Holland America Line’s spacious midsized ships, nearly every itinerary includes scenic cruising of the St. Lawrence River and calls at Montréal or Québec City, Québec, Canada.

Paul Grigsby, vice president of deployment and itinerary planning for Holland America Line, said: “Our Canada & New England itineraries are designed to showcase the wonders of the region — from its breathtaking national parks and storied lighthouses to its rich French heritage. Guests can experience magnificent French culture without ever leaving North America, all while enjoying a front-row seat to the stunning fall foliage that makes this part of the world unforgettable.”
