Holland America unveils 2027-2028 Asia season

Holland America Line has unveiled its 2027–2028 Asia season, introducing three new ports in Japan — Hitachinaka, Nagoya, and Maizuru—along with a new scenic cruising experience in Maizuru Bay for the upcoming season. More overnight stays in six top destinations create opportunities for a deeper authentic connection with each local — whether through vibrant night markets, iconic city lights or unforgettable sunsets.

Sailing from September 2027 to April 2028 aboard Noordam, guests can explore ports across Japan, South Korea, China, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam.

Cruises range from 13 to 15 days, and Noordam’s ideal size enables access to unique ports not available to larger ships, including Jeju, South Korea, and Boracay, Philippines, offering guests a broader range of experiences throughout the region.

Robert de Bruin, Holland America Line’s director of deployment and itinerary planning, explained that: “Asia offers guests a wealth of natural wonders and remarkable cultural landmarks. We know our guests are eager for deeper exploration, so this season we’ve added new ports, increased calls to lesser-visited destinations and provided extended stays in popular locales. These enhancements allow guests to make the most of their journey, fully delving into the culture of each destination.”

For a limited time, when guests book 2027-2028 Asia cruises with the Have It All premium package, the standard package amenities of shore excursions, specialty dining, a Signature Beverage Package and Surf Wi-Fi are included — plus the added perk of free prepaid crew appreciation, along with free upgrades to the Elite Beverage Package and Premium Wi-Fi.

Guests can also take advantage of Holland America Line’s Exclusive Mariner Society Early Booking Bonus. Mariner Society loyalty members can enjoy up to $400 onboard credit per stateroom when these cruises open for sale. Guests must book these cruises by Jan. 12, 2026, to receive the Exclusive Mariner Society Early Booking Bonus.
