Holland American Line has unveiled longer cruises for its 2026-2027 season to Australia, New Zealand and Asia with bookings open today.
New itineraries include four legendary voyages giving passengers the ability to experience up to 50 UNESCO World Heritage Sites when two ships, Noordam and Westerdam will sail in local waters.
