Holland America Unveils 2026-2027 Mexico, Pacific Coast Seasons

Holland America Line has unveiled its 2026-2027 itineraries, offering immersive journeys along Mexico and the Pacific Coast. These new seasons promise guests an authentic connection to the regions with excursions that blend iconic destinations with hidden gems.

In the Mexico season, guests can choose from itineraries lasting up to 12 days, exploring renowned hotspots as well as rarely visited treasures like Loreto. Ships such as Koningsdam and Zaandam will offer 16 departures, featuring voyages that range from seven to 12 days and sail from San Diego or via open-jaw routes connecting San Diego and Vancouver.

Each carefully designed itinerary encourages travelers to truly experience the essence of the region. According to Paul Grigsby, VP of Revenue Planning and Deployment, "San Diego is an important homeport... After embarking in San Diego, travelers can explore picturesque Cabo San Lucas, delve into the history of Loreto, and enjoy premium onboard service."

The cruise itineraries also highlight exciting shore excursions. Visitors can immerse themselves in the culture with full-day tours from Mazatlan to the Colonial Villages of the Sierra Madre, or opt for adventure with the Majahuitas Cove Catamaran Snorkel & Yelapa Bay Beach trip, where warm waters and abundant sea life await.

The Pacific Coast season offers 11 itineraries ranging from one to seven days, designed to capture the stunning natural scenery and vibrant cities along the coast. With departures from San Diego, Seattle, and Vancouver, guests will visit popular ports including Astoria, Santa Barbara, and Ensenada, with select voyages even spending a night in San Francisco.

For a unique wildlife adventure, guests aboard Noordam can join a 7-Day Great Bear Rainforest voyage from Seattle. This trip includes stops at Ketchikan and several ports in British Columbia, offering rare sightings of whales, eagles, and the elusive Kermode bear, while cruising the historic Inside Passage through Bella Bella and the Grenville Channel.
