Sarah Bretz, ContributorHolland America Line will offer nearly 30 different Caribbean itineraries between October 2025 and April 2026. New to the season is the addition of Miami as a homeport, as well as the return of Koningsdam to the region. This will put all three of its newest Pinnacle-class ships in the Caribbean.
In addition to weeklong voyages, Holland America will offer longer nine to 14-night sailings that feature more islands on one cruise. The line will offer sailings in the eastern, western, and southern Caribbean, as well as a partial Panama Canal transit. All itineraries will include a stop at Holland America’s private island Half Moon Cay.
Eastern Caribbean
Eurodam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam, Volendam, and Zuiderdam will offer eastern Caribbean itineraries from Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Seven-day cruises offer a combination of calls to Grand Turk, St. Thomas, San Juan, Amber Cove, Key West, Nassau, Bimini, and Half Moon Cay.
An eight-day on Koningsdam stops at Amber Cove, San Juan, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and Half Moon Cay. Longer 11-day voyages call at St. Maarten, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Kitts, St. Thomas, and Half Moon Cay, plus either Martinique or Dominica.
A 14-day holiday cruise on Volendam departs December 21, 2025 and includes stops at Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk, St. John, Dominica, St. Lucia, Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, and Trinidad.
Western Caribbean
Eurodam, Nieuw Statendam, and Zuiderdam will sail to the western Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale and Miami. All western Caribbean voyages are seven days at call at Cozumel, Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, and Half Moon Cay.
Southern Caribbean
Koningsdam, Rotterdam, and Zuiderdam will sail from Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The nine-day voyage will visit the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao) as well as Half Moon Cay. The 10-day itinerary will include the same ports as the nine-day, plus Grand Turk and Amber Cove.
All Curaçao visits will have a late-evening departure, and select sailings will also have a late-evening departure from either Bonaire or Aruba.
Partial Panama Canal
Rotterdam and Zuiderdam will offer partial Panama Canal transit cruises roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale. The 12-day “Panama Canal Discovery” itinerary explores the Panama Canal’s Gatun Lake and sails a partial transit of the canal. Ports include Cartagena, Colombia; Colon, Panama; Puerto Limon, Costa Rica; Grand Cayman; Curaçao; and Half Moon Cay.
Back-to-Back Cruises & Early Booking Bonus
Many sailings can be combined into longer Collectors’ Voyages that feature a more economical fare than booking the cruises individually. Ranging from 14 to 21 days, these journeys combine nonrepeating back-to-back itineraries that allow guests to visit more than one Caribbean region.
For a limited time, when guests book these newly-opened 2025-2026 sailings with the Have It All premium package, they’ll get the added perk of free prepaid gratuities and free upgrades to the Elite Beverage Package and Premium Wi-Fi. This is in addition to the package’s usual inclusions, which are shore excursions, specialty dining, a Signature Beverage Package, and a Surf Wi-Fi plan.
