Holland America Line has opened bookings for its 2026-2027 Mexico and Pacific Coast seasons.

Travelers hoping to explore Mexico can enjoy voyages up to 12 days long, with both Koningsdam and Zaandam sailing round trip from San Diego. The two ships will offer 16 departures on eight different itineraries. 

“San Diego is an important homeport for Holland America Line and provides an exceptional experience to our guests at the beginning or end of their Mexican cruise vacations,” says Paul Grigsby, vice president of revenue planning and deployment for Holland America Line. “After embarking in San Diego, travelers can explore picturesque Cabo San Lucas, take in the history of Loreto and more—all while enjoying our premium onboard experience and best-in-cruise service.”  

Holland America Line will also offer 11 itineraries along the Pacific Coast. The voyages will depart from San Diego, Seattle and Vancouver aboard five ships: Eurodam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam and Zaandam. Travelers will have a chance to visit destinations like Astoria, Oregon; Santa Barbara, California; and Ensenada, Mexico.

Some itineraries feature an overnight in San Francisco, California. 

“Seattle’s our hometown, and as such, we know a little bit about the Pacific Coast—and the experience guests will have on these itineraries will show that,” says Grigsby. “This series of cruises provides great options for those seeking a quick escape and are also a great introduction for those who might be trying their first cruise.”
