Holland America Line has opened bookings for its expanded 2028 Europe season, marking its highest number of European port calls in nearly a decade. Drawing on over 150 years of maritime heritage, the cruise line is expanding its year-round European footprint with departures spanning from January through early December 2028. Five distinct vessels—Rotterdam, Nieuw Statendam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Volendam, and Zuiderdam—will offer immersive itineraries ranging from seven-day regional getaways to an extensive 48-day Legendary Mediterranean Voyage.

The upcoming season highlights record-setting visits to Norway, Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands, featuring access to over 200 UNESCO World Heritage sites and deep exploration of Norway’s iconic fjords. Returning to Europe for the first time in over ten years, Nieuw Amsterdam brings signature dining like Morimoto by Sea to Mediterranean travelers. The deployment covers every seasonal highlight, from spring tulip blooms in the Low Countries to summer days in Scandinavia and mild winter escapes through the Canary Islands and Morocco. Late-night stays and overnight port calls allow guests to dive deeper into regional culinary and cultural traditions.

To celebrate the launch, travelers booking early with the premium Have It All package receive shore excursion credits, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, and beverage packages, alongside bonus crew appreciation. With flexible back-to-back sailing options and curated seasonal itineraries, Holland America Line continues to elevate premium European cruise travel.
