Holland America Line reveals 2027 Grand Voyages

Holland America Line announced itineraries for its two Grand Voyages sailing in 2027.

Guests can embark on an ambitious 129-day circumnavigation of the globe on the 2027 Grand World Voyage or a 70-day, region-specific in-depth exploration on the Grand South America & Antarctica Voyage.

The Grand World Voyage will sail on Volendam and the Grand South America & Antarctica will sail on Zaandam, ships that are spacious, yet small enough to access unique ports and provide a peaceful retreat and intimate community. Each voyage will call at ports that are exclusive to Grand Voyages, giving guests experiences not found on any other Holland America Line cruises.

The Mariners’ Collection features a special series of ports that are only featured on HAL’s Grand Voyages.

The 2027 Grand World Voyage will sail roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and visit 53 ports in 28 countries, with overnight calls at seven destinations. Nineteen ports are exclusive to Grand Voyages, including Georgetown, Ascension Island; and Jamestown, St. Helena. St. Helena is best known for hosting Napolean during his second and final exile; and the settlement in Georgetown formed when the British began to garrison the island as a precaution against Napoleon’s presence. These two islands in the South Atlantic Ocean are nearly inaccessible, and to visit both in one journey is rare.

The 2027 Grand South America & Antarctica is one of the most in-depth cruises offered in the region, visiting 31 ports in 13 countries — as well as the four-day Holland America Line Antarctica Experience — sailing roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale. The cruise also features seven ports exclusive to Grand Voyages, including Robinson Crusoe Island off the coast of Chile, home to a marooned Scottish sailor for nearly five years and thought to be the inspiration for Daniel Defoe’s classic novel of the same name.

Travellers interested in the 2027 Grand World Voyage and Grand South America & Antarctica can call Holland America Line’s World Cruise Reservations Desk or contact their travel advisor to make a deposited Future Cruise Request. Guests with a deposited Future Cruise Request will get priority booking confirmation before the voyages officially open to the public.

A grand onboard experience

On each Grand Voyage, Holland America Line provides gracious service, superior amenities and unexpected experiences. Guests can relax during leisurely days at sea, taking advantage of the extra time to participate in shipboard activities. Shipboard entertainment shines in the evening with local cultural performers and special guest headliners. Festive gala balls and dressy nights create memorable moments, along with a Captain’s Grand Voyage Dinner. Dining is elevated to a new level on each Grand Voyage with menus that change daily and are seldom repeated, featuring local ingredients and regional cuisine.
