Holland America Line is commemorating its historic 150th Anniversary in 2023 with the introduction of extended Legendary Voyages.
The Legendary Voyages range from 25-59 days in length and combine the ceremonial Grand Voyages with itineraries that feature a collection of ports that enrich the experience in each destination.
Most of the extended cruises sail roundtrip or to/from a North American homeport, allowing travelers to see the world with a convenient domestic flight and easy embarkation.
The itineraries are offered on a variety of Holland America Line ships, which bring passengers to Australia and New Zealand, the Amazon and South America, South Pacific and Hawaii, Greenland and Iceland, Asia, Alaska and the Arctic Circle.
Three of the Legendary Voyages are new itineraries for the cruise line, including the 28-day Arctic Circle Solstice, the 53-day Majestic Japan and the 28-Day Coral Triangle, Volcanoes and The Great Barrier Reef sailings.
"As the leader in long itineraries, Holland America Line is excited to continue to connect our deployment and onboard programming to further enrich the guest experience," Holland America Line vice president Kacy Cole said.
"The destination-rich itineraries found on Legendary Voyages are carefully crafted to allow guests to linger longer and enjoy the journey as well as the destination," Cole continued. "With many departures from North America, this creates yet another way for our guests to see the world from their doorstep."
For a limited time, travelers who book a Legendary Voyage with the "Have It All" premium package will also receive standard package amenities, including a $300 shore excursion credit, three nights' specialty dining, a Signature Beverage Package and Surf Wi-Fi. In addition, they will have free prepaid Crew Appreciation (gratuities) and upgrades to the Elite Beverage Package and Premium Wi-Fi.
