Discover Holland America’s West Coast Sailings

Holland America Line has opened cruise bookings for its 2024-2025 West Coast season from San Diego, California, and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Sailings from the two North American homeports allow guests to see the world from their doorstep, without international air or by taking an easy flight from Canada.

Travellers can set out from the West Coast to explore Mexico, Hawaii, the Pacific Coast and the Panama Canal on five ships across 42 cruises.

Sailings are roundtrip from San Diego, roundtrip from Vancouver, or begin or end in either of the two ports.

Beth Bodensteiner, Holland America Line’s chief commercial officer, said: “Holland America Line continues to cultivate our North America homeport cruises to offer a diverse range of destinations without the need for long-haul air. Our West Coast departures are a rich collection of close-to-home itineraries, and by offering the ability to book back-to-back cruises in different regions our guests can check off more of their must-do travel experiences in one vacation.”

From September 2024 through May 2025, guests can embark cruises ranging from a four-day voyage along the Pacific Coast to a 21-day transit of the Panama Canal. Itineraries are uniquely curated to include popular ports alongside lesser-visited locales that showcase the natural beauty, cultural diversity and rich history of each region.

This season, Holland America Line is featuring more Panama Canal Collectors’ Voyages that begin with a Hawaii cruise and expand the canal transit experience to the eastern Caribbean. Many of the other cruises also can be extended into Collectors’ Voyages to create the ultimate exploration with more economical fares than booking the cruises individually. Ranging from 14 to 31 days, these longer journeys combine non-repeating, back-to-back itineraries, enabling guests to visit more than one region.
