Holland America Line’s 2026 Grand World Voyage Refreshed to Include Further Exploration of Asia, Central America
Holland America Line announced today updates to its 2026 Grand World Voyage sailing aboard Volendam.
The refreshed voyage will now provide guests an opportunity to explore in East and Southeast Asia, Central America, destinations in the U.S. and a transit of the Panama Canal.
The new itinerary replaces a prior route through the Red Sea. Given the evolving situation in the region and in consultation with global security experts, Holland America has made the decision to reroute the planned voyage.
The changes will affect the last 54 days of the voyage — which, due to a crossing of the International Dateline, will increase from 132 to 133 days. The updated cruise will now visit 51 unique ports in 23 countries and territories, spanning five continents, concluding as planned on May 17, 2026, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
