Holland America Line has experienced a surge in demand for European cruises, with bookings for its 2026 season up more than a third compared to this time last year.
The rise is notable in the cruise line’s Northern Europe voyages, the company said in a statement.
Dan Rough, vice president of revenue management for Holland America Line, said: “With our Dutch roots and unmatched expertise in the region, guests know they’re traveling with the European cruise experts when they choose Holland America.”
The company said that guests sailing in Europe with Holland America Line in 2026 can expect an enriching experience with its curated itineraries, which include the following highlights:
The 2026 season features itineraries that visit more than 175 UNESCO World Heritage sites and explore 35 countries across the Mediterranean, the British Isles, Northern Europe and the Canary Islands.
