In addition to transatlantic crossings between Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Europe, the ships will also visit the Baltic, British Isles, French and Spanish Rivieras, Iberian Peninsula, the Mediterranean and Northern Europe including Greenland, Iceland, Norway and the North Cape.

“Our guests miss cruising as much as we do, and as we move closer to getting back to doing what we do best, we want everyone to feel confident in planning their European travel with us for next summer,” said Gus Antorcha, Holland America Line’s president. “At Holland America Line, we are a community of passionate globetrotters. For anyone looking to go to Europe next summer and really connect with a variety of cultures, Holland America Line has put together the most diverse collection of itineraries that embraces the entire region.”
