Holland America Line’s 2024 summer program includes a mix of destinations across Europe and North America.
Concentrating most of its capacity in Alaska, Carnival Corporation’s premium brand will see six ships visiting the region, with itineraries departing from three homeports.
The company is also planning a strong program in Europe, with four ships – including the 2021-built Rotterdam – sailing to destinations in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean.
The Canada & New England region completes Holland America’s lineup for the season, with two ships spending most of the summer sailing from Boston, Quebec City and Montreal.
