Holland America Line has opened bookings for its 2028 Canada and New England season, running from May through October 2028 aboard the Volendam and Zuiderdam.
Cruises ranging from seven to 14 days depart from Montréal, Québec City, Boston, New York and Fort Lauderdale, and longer Collectors’ Voyages are also available.
“One of the things guests love most about Canada & New England is that you can experience the feel of Europe without crossing the Atlantic,” said Paul Grigsby, vice president of revenue planning and deployment for Holland America Line.
“From the French influence of Montréal and Québec City to the maritime traditions of Atlantic Canada, the region offers an extraordinary mix of culture, history and natural beauty. We also bring those destinations to life onboard through local entertainment, regional dining experiences and destination-focused programming, so the journey is just as immersive as the places we visit.”
The season, which Holland America said features more calls to Montréal than any other cruise line, will also mark the regional debut of the post-Evolution Zuiderdam.
The ship will be the second of six to undergo the Evolution program, the largest fleet update in the company’s 153-year history.
