HAL unveils 2026 Europe season

Friday, 01 Aug, 2024 0

Holland America Line has launched its full 2026 Europe season line- up with four ships exploring 35 countries across the Mediterranean, Northern Europe across the transatlantic.

The schedule comprises voyages ranging from seven to 42 days.

It includes the opportunity to visit more than 175 UNESCO world heritage sites.

Nieuw Statendam and Rotterdam will be positioned in Northern Europe.

The two Pinnacle-Class ships will homeport in Rotterdam, with Nieuw Statendam also returning to Dover for a UK season.

Ten roundtrip UK sailings will depart Dover between April and October, taking in the Canary Islands, around the British Isles, Arctic Circle, North Cape, Norwegian Fjords, Baltics and Scandinavia.

The 2026 European offering includes an increased number of seven-day cruises to Norway’s fjords as well as seven-day sailings between Reykjavik, Iceland, and Rotterdam.

A series of 14-day ‘Baltic and Scandinavian Capitals’ cruises are also available many of which feature overnights or late-night calls in Oslo, as well as ports in Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Denmark.

Additionally, the Northern Europe season will introduce four new ports – Aberdeen; Kalundborg, Denmark; and Odda, Norway, aboard Rotterdam, and Portsmouth aboard Nieuw Statendam.

The 1,964-guest Oosterdam will offer seven- to 14-day itineraries in the Mediterranean from five homeports: Lisbon, Piraeus (Athens), Barcelona, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Trieste (Venice).

New for 2026 are seven-day sailings in the Mediterranean, including ‘Mediterranean Marvels: Ancient Egypt & Greek Isles’, ‘Iberian Idyll: Spain & Morocco’, and ‘Mediterranean Splendor: Corfu, Sicily & Spain’.

These itineraries can be combined, spanning from 14 to 27 days, with up to 21 days with no repeat ports.

As part of the recently announced solar eclipse cruises, Zuiderdam will sail roundtrip from Boston on a 17, 18 or 35-day ‘Voyage of the Vikings: Solar Eclipse’ itinerary.

The sailing takes in up to 19 ports across eight countries, visiting UNESCO sites across Iceland, the Netherlands and more.

Paul Grigsby, HAL’s VP of revenue planning and deployment said: “We’re giving our guests the opportunity to explore more ports and countries in an exciting way we haven’t offered before.”
