HAL revises 2026 world cruise with more Asia calls

Wednesday, 29 Oct, 2024 0

Holland America Line has announced updates to its 2026 Grand World Voyage aboard Volendam offering more opportunity to explore in East and Southeast Asia.

The new itinerary replaces a prior route through the Red Sea due to the uncertain security situation in the region.

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.

A dozen ports have been added in Asia.

“From exploring Halong Bay or snorkeling in Nha Trang to overnight stays in Hong Kong, Nagasaki and Tokyo, the deep exploration provides the opportunity to take in the culture and natural beauty of Asia,” said Beth Bodensteiner, HAL chief commercial officer.

Following the originally planned overnight call in Singapore, Volendam will sail north to Vietnam, calling at Phu My (Ho Chi Minh City), Nha Trang and Halong Bay (Hanoi).

The ship will overnight in Hong Kong before continuing northeast to Kaohsiung and Keelung, Taiwan.

The ship visits six ports in Japan, including overnights in Nagasaki and Tokyo, before completing a transpacific crossing.

The amended world cruise itinerary also adds port calls in Central America and a transit of the Panama Canal.
