The Westerdam recently embarked on Holland America Line’s “The Philippines, China and Japan Collector” voyage.

Offered in partnership with the History Channel, the 28-night cruise departed from the port of Yokohama on Feb. 15, 2026.

According to the company, the curated itinerary offers guests an opportunity to visit diverse ports across Japan, South Korea and China.

Highlighted destinations include Hiroshima, Shanghai and Seoul, where the Westerdam is set to offer overnight stays.

Before returning to Yokohama in mid-March, the cruise also features visits to additional ports in Japan, such as Shimizu, Kobe and Kochi.

Other destinations set to welcome the ship include Fukuoka, Naha and Ishigaki, as well as Busan in South Korea and Hong Kong.

The Westerdam will also sail to the Philippines, with planned stops at Manila, Boracay and Puerto Princesa, in addition to Taiwan, visiting Kaohsiung and Keelung.

As part of its partnership with the History Channel, Holland America offers history-focused sailings and shore excursions.

According to past press releases, the A+E channel provides curated historical content, which guides guests through ancient ruins and significant landmarks.

The Westerdam also underwent a significant refurbishment earlier this year, debuting refurbished areas and additional staterooms.

As reported by Cruise Industry News, the ship spent two weeks at drydock in Singapore in early January.

Part of Holland America’s Vista class series, the Westerdam was built at the Fincantieri shipyard and entered service in 2004.

After concluding its winter season in Southeast Asia and the Far East, the ship is scheduled to reposition to North America for a summer deployment in Alaska.

Sailing from Vancouver and Whittier, the 1,900-passenger ship offers open-jaw itineraries across the region between May and September. The vessel is then set to return to Asia later that month, kicking off a fall season in Japan.
