Holland America Line is offering samplers on two 2025 Grand Voyage itineraries for travellers who may not have the time or budget for an entire long sailing.
A Holland America spokesperson says the destination-focused Grand Voyage segments sail between two key ports along each cruise with embarkations in various locales around the world.
It has seven segments ranging from 33 to 100 days on its Grand Voyage: Pole to Pole itinerary aboard ship Volendam. Guests can cruise, say, from Buenos Aires to Barcelona or Amsterdam; or Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Buenos Aires, Argentina, which includes the Panama Canal transit and four-day Antarctica experience.
There are six segments ranging from 20 to 55 days on ship Zuiderdam’s Grand World Voyage, such as Singapore to Athens, or Sydney to Cape Town.
Paul Grigsby, Holland America’s vice-president of deployment and itinerary planning, tells us that while Grand Voyage itineraries are popular, shorter segments allow travellers to tailor an experience to their own taste and time line.
“At over four months (to sail a full Grand Voyage) we recognise that not everyone has that time,” he says. “By booking one of our 2025 Grand Voyage segments, cruisers can get a taste of the special atmosphere and community aboard these sailings at incredible value.”
HAL has enrichment and entertainment programs exclusive to its Grand Voyages, including 15 new production shows debuting in 2025 on its mid-sized ships.
