Holland America Line has officially announced two epic itineraries for 2027: the Grand World Voyage and the Grand South America & Antarctica Voyage, both setting sail from Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades in January.
The news was shared by Holland America Line President Beth Bodensteiner during a special onboard presentation to guests currently sailing aboard the 2025 Grand World Voyage on Zuiderdam, which concludes on 9th May 2025.
Both 2027 sailings will feature ports from the newly introduced Mariners’ Collection – a special set of rarely visited locations chosen specifically for Grand Voyages.
“When you sail on one of our Grand Voyages, we know you’re looking for experiences you can’t have anywhere else,
“These are bucket-list and often hard-to-reach destinations you might not visit otherwise.”
