  Holland America Line’s Koningsdam is back in service following a two‑week dry dock in the Bahamas. The Pinnacle-class ship has received a series of enhancements ahead of its upcoming Alaska season.   The line has added five new, larger ocean view staterooms. Each stateroom accommodates up to four guests and features two beds that convert to a queen-size bed, along with a double sofa bed. Four of the staterooms are connecting, allowing larger groups to book together. 22 Vista Suites were also upgraded with new sofa beds.   Select staterooms additionally received new carpets.   A series of interior updates and upgrades have been made to shared guest spaces. Extra seating has been added to music venues Billboard Onboard and Rolling Stone Lounge, while more seating has been provided in the area connecting the two, allowing guests to take in shows from either side.   Speciality dining venues Pinnacle Grill, Sel de Mer and Club Orange have had fixed tables replaced with flexible, moveable seating arrangements, allowing for a range of configurations to better accommodate different group sizes and guest preferences.   The onboard Effy jewellery retail space now features new flooring, wall finishes, lighting and display fixtures, along with upgraded signage and merchandising elements. The upgrades have previously been made on both Westerdam and Zuiderdam.   Finally, the onboard casino has been expanded to create a more spacious gaming environment for guests, the ship’s fitness centre has received updated gym equipment, and there is new carpeting in several public areas.   Koningsdam is now on its final Caribbean voyage of the season, before transiting the Panama Canal and heading to Alaska for the summer. Alaska voyages will sail from April to September with prices starting from £649pp.

  Conservation International is Holland America Line's new charity partner for its ‘On Deck for a Cause’ programme, on all sailings outside of Alaska.   Conservation International works in more than 100 countries and is a global leader in mangrove conservation and restoration, advancing the science and innovative approaches needed to protect coastal and marine ecosystems. It has helped to place 13 million square kilometres of lands and seas under formal protections - an area four times the size of India.   On Deck for a Cause is a non-competitive 5km fundraising walk held on every Holland America Line cruise, which is open to all guests. Everyone who donates through the programme will help support Conservation International’s efforts to protect Caribbean coastal ecosystems and its partnerships with local communities.   Beth Bodensteiner, president at Holland America Line, said: “Protecting the oceans we call home is a natural extension of our commitment to responsible travel. By selecting Conservation International as our charitable donation recipient, we’re empowering our guests to make a significant impact on the places they love to visit while enjoying their cruise holiday.”   Kelvin Alie, acting head of conservation programmes and senior vice president at Conservation International, said: “For nearly four decades, Conservation International has worked alongside coastal communities worldwide to protect the ocean ecosystems that sustain their livelihoods and economies. This partnership with Holland America Line builds on that legacy by supporting mangrove restoration on Caribbean islands, which are deeply connected to the sea. Together, we’re turning individual action into lasting impact for the ocean and for future generations.”   On Alaska sailings, On Deck for a Cause raises money for Alaska Geographic, a nonprofit education partner of the state’s parks, forests, refuges and conservation lands. The programme has previously supported cancer research organisations, Direct Relief and the Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation. Guests taking part in the walks receive a commemorative t-shirt and wristband.

  Holland America Line brought together guests from its two 2026 Grand Voyages on March 7, following a rare meetup of Zaandam and Volendam. The ship’s simultaneous calls to Sydney, Australia, were celebrated with a special Chocolate Afternoon Tea.   Hosted onboard Zaandam, the tea was led by Holland America Line Culinary Ambassador, Jacques Torres, who created a menu of signature chocolate treats. Guests were offered a selection that included scones and finger sandwiches, chocolate madeleines, chocolate canelé de Bordeaux, Le Lion chocolate dipped marshmallows and Gâteau de Voyage. The captains and senior officers from both ships joined the occasion.   Volendam is currently sailing on the 133-day Grand World Voyage, heading to Asia before crossing the Pacific Ocean and transiting the Panama Canal to end in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Zaandam will continue exploring Australia and New Zealand before sailing to French Polynesia and will then end its 93-day Grand Voyage in San Diego, California.   Darren Lewis, Zaandam’s hotel general manager, said: “Moments like this are what make a Grand Voyage truly unforgettable. When guests sail with us for months at a time, they become a community. Seeing that community from two ships come together in Sydney to share stories, celebrate the journey and enjoy a beautifully crafted afternoon tea was a powerful reminder of what makes Grand Voyages so special.”   The Chocolate Afternoon Tea was part of Holland America Line’s 2026 Grand Voyage guest engagement programme, which offers exclusive onboard and shoreside experiences.

These voyages are designed to help travellers really connect with the region, from the energy of South America to the history of the Inca Coast and the awe of Antarctica.

  Holland America Line and Back in Time for Bed (BITFB) have announced they will host a family ship visit onboard Rotterdam.   The event, designed specifically for parents working in the travel industry, will take place on April 3, in Southampton, from 10am-2pm.   Attendees will be able to experience a range of activities, including a preview of the onboard Kids’ Club, which features three programmes that vary depending on age: * Kids’ Programme, for ages 3 to 6 * Tweens, for ages 7 to 11 * Teens, for ages 12 to 17   During the event, a ‘scavenger hunt’ will take place, so that families can explore the ship together and win Easter prizes.

It was launched in February 2023 by Vicky Billing, director of trade and partnerships in the UK and Ireland at Riviera Travel, and Anna Perrott, chief commercial officer at Panache Cruises.   Vicky Billing said: “Anna, the BITFB board, and I are absolutely delighted to be partnering with Holland America Line for our upcoming family fun day. These events mean so much to our community, as they bring together working parents from across the industry and provide the chance to share something special with our children.   “I know my little girl, Ellie, can’t wait to step onto another ‘big ship’, and I’m sure many of our members feel exactly the same. It’s going to be a fantastic day for families, and as always, the travel industry shows just how much of a big family it truly is. We’re extremely grateful to Holland America Line for making this opportunity possible. Keep an eye out for the registration link; it’s going to be a whole lot of Easter fun.”   Karen Farndell, associate vice-president of sales and marketing for the UK and Ireland at Holland America Line, said: “We’re excited to be working with Back in Time for Bed to host our first-ever onboard family ship visit in the UK.

  Guests sailing on Holland America Line’s 133-day Grand World Voyage are supporting a children’s charity initiative while at sea, knitting and crocheting handmade blankets for donation through non-profit organisation Project Linus.   During sea days onboard Volendam, guests - known onboard as ‘blanketeers’ - meet regularly to create blankets for children experiencing illness, trauma or crisis.   The activity has been part of the cruise line’s Grand World Voyage programme for more than 20 years, turning time at sea into a collaborative volunteer effort. Experienced knitters and crocheters work alongside beginners, with guests sharing skills and helping newcomers learn basic techniques. Crew members also take part when their schedules allow.   This year’s voyage departed on January 4, 2026, with participating guests bringing nearly one million yards of yarn in more than 30 colours onboard. Supplies are organised in advance and distributed to volunteers, with each completed blanket taking several days to produce. Across the last three Grand World Voyages, guests have created more than 1,600 blankets in total.   Once the voyage concludes in May, the blankets will be sent to Project Linus, where they are labelled and distributed to children through hospitals and care organisations. Each blanket carries a label reading: “Made with Tender Loving Care for Project Linus.”   Karen Farndell, director sales & marketing for Holland America Line, said: “Seeing our guests come together to support such a meaningful cause while travelling the world is incredibly special. Our Grand Voyages are all about community and connection, and this long-standing blanket-making initiative is a wonderful example of that spirit in action. What begins as a relaxing onboard activity becomes something that delivers real comfort to children in need - and we’re very proud to help facilitate that through our partnership with Project Linus.”   The 133-day Grand World Voyage is sailing roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale and visiting more than 50 ports across multiple continents.

  Holland America Line has introduced a new shore excursion to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC).   The ‘Exclusive Eland & Friends Moose Discovery’ tour will launch during the upcoming Alaska cruise season. It includes a scenic drive along the Seward Highway and a guided behind‑the‑scenes visit to the conservation centre. During the tour, guests will learn how the AWCC supports moose health and wellbeing through enrichment activities, diet preparation, behaviour observation and station training.   Among the moose guests may encounter is Eland, who arrived at the conservation centre in June 2025. His name, the Dutch word for “moose”, was selected by Holland America Line social media followers and reflects the cruise line’s Dutch heritage.   The excursion was launched to mark National Moose Day, which is dedicated to recognising moose for their ecological importance and cultural significance.   Sarah “Howie” Howard, executive director of the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, said: “Partnerships like this allow us to deepen both care and connection. This shore excursion invites guests to experience moose up close in a thoughtful way, while learning first-hand how exceptional animal care and conservation education support long‑term wildlife protection.”   Kacy Cole, chief marketing officer of Holland America Line, said: “Seeing wildlife is one of the top reasons guests choose to cruise Alaska. This new shore excursion gives our guests an extraordinary opportunity to connect with moose in a way that is both unforgettable and responsible, working alongside conservation experts to support the animals and the environment they call home.”   To further enhance guest engagement and support long‑term moose care, Holland America Line donated $150,000 to AWCC. The donation will support ongoing animal care initiatives and the development of the Holland America Moose Promenade, a scenic elevated boardwalk overlooking the moose habitat.   Holland America Line also donated repurposed wooden benches from the deck of Noordam and reclaimed mooring ropes from Westerdam, adding authentic nautical elements from the company’s fleet to the conservation centre.   Construction of the promenade is expected to begin in autumn 2026, with completion planned for the 2027 Alaska cruise season.   Holland America Line’s Alaska season runs from April to September across six ships. The line has a collection of over 200 Alaska shore experiences.
