HAL 2026 world cruise to visit Antarctica

Friday, 28 Feb, 2024 0

Holland America Line will embark on one of its most ambitious Grand World Voyages ever in 2026.

A comprehensive 132-day cruise will span all seven continents, including a special four-day Antarctic Experience.

HAL President Gus Antorcha revealed details personally to the current 2024 Grand World Voyage guests aboard Zuiderdam, which is presently in Japan.

The 2026 Grand World Voyage will be aboard Volendam, one of the fleet’s smaller ships.

Its size allows sailing up France’s Gironde Estuary to visit Bordeaux.

The world cruise will visit 47 ports in 39 countries on an east-to-west route, sailing roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

“We asked thousands of past guests and travel advisors for their opinions about the perfect Grand World Voyage, so this may be one of our most thoroughly researched routes ever,” Antorcha told the world cruise guests.

“This itinerary includes destinations we know guests love. We are purposefully visiting fewer ports to allow more time to explore the destinations we visit.”

Starting today, customers can make a deposited Future Cruise Request.

These customers will get priority booking confirmation before officially opening to the public.

The 2026 Grand World Voyage departs January 4 2026 from Florida and heads south along the East Coast of South America, crossing the equator to Antarctica.

It visits Easter Island before traversing the islands of the South Pacific to Australia.

It explores the Great Barrier Reef, Singapore and the Maldives, then calls at Alexandria, Egypt, for an overnight stay before cruising the Mediterranean and northern Europe before an Atlantic Ocean crossing.

For a limited time, guests who book the Grand World Voyage receive up to $2,000 in onboard credit per guest, free Wi-Fi Surf package and more.

Additional perks for early bookers include a $500 air credit per person.
