SEATTLE — Holland America Line has revealed new details of its Fall 2021 program, with ships sailing to Mexico, Hawaii, along the California coast and the Caribbean. 

On the West Coast, the program will include cruises to Mexico, Hawaii and along the California coast onboard the Koningsdam and Zuiderdam, departing Port of San Diego. Six new cruise departures have been added for Zuierdam and two new cruises on Koningsdam for a total of 40 cruises from San Diego departing from September 2021 through April 2022.

Holland America will also cruise in the Caribbean with four ships, all sailing roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale, Florida beginning Oct. 23, 2021 with Nieuw Amsterdam. The ship will be joined by the new Rotterdam on Nov. 3, Eurodam on Nov. 14 and Nieuw Statendam on Nov. 21. Caribbean cruises range from four to 14 days, span the entire region, and include a call at Half Moon Cay, Holland America’s award-winning private island.

Cruises in 2021 are available for guests who have received their final dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days prior to the beginning of the cruise and have proof of vaccination.

“San Diego has always been an incredible homeport for our ships, and we are eager to restart on the West Coast with two ships operating an expanded season, including the debut of Koningsdam on these itineraries and close-to-home California cruises that our guests are going to love,” said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line. “We’ve also been anticipating announcing our plans for the Caribbean and we’re thrilled to have four ships in the region, including our new Rotterdam. Cruising is back and having vaccinated ships for these cruises in 2021 ensures that we can deliver the experience just how our guests remember and expect. We’re ready to cruise!”

While Holland America Line continues to work with governments and port authorities in coordination with the phased resumption of cruising in other areas of the world, the company is canceling cruises in Asia, Australia and New Zealand and South America through the remainder of 2021, along with the Collectors’ Voyages (combined cruises) associated with those departures. This affects itineraries on Noordam (Asia), Oosterdam (Australia) and Westerdam (South America). In addition, fall sailings through the end of 2021 on Volendam and Zaandam also are cancelled.

Guests currently booked on cancelled departures will be moved automatically to a comparable 2021 voyage or an equivalent 2022 departure at the current per-day fare paid and in the same or equivalent stateroom category. They may also opt to receive a Future Cruise Credit of 110% of any cash paid that will be placed in the guest’s loyalty account. Any guest on a canceled voyage also can request a full refund of all monies paid to Holland America Line.
