A Word from Holland America Line

Paul Grigsby, vice president of deployment and itinerary planning at Holland America Line, highlighted the appeal of these segmented voyages: “Our Grand Voyages are something our dedicated guests come back for every year while also attracting new guests who are eager to explore the world, but at over four months we recognise that not everyone has that time. By booking one of our 2025 Grand Voyage segments, cruisers can get a taste of the special atmosphere and community aboard these sailings at an incredible value.”
