Holland America Line to Increases Mexico Sailings in 2007

Holland America Line is expanding its sun-splashed cruises to Mexico in 2007 by offering more wildlife-abundant Sea of Cortez sailings and adding a third ship featuring Mexican Riviera cruises.

The Zaandam returns to the Mexican Riviera to join the Oosterdam and Ryndam in 2007 to offer a total of 42 Mexico cruises -10 more than in 2006- sailing roundtrip from the convenient homeport of San Diego.

In 2007 Holland America Line will continue to be the only major cruise line sailing the pristine Sea of Cortez on 10-day, roundtrip San Diego cruises. The Ryndam will feature 11 such departures in winter/spring and fall, providing a wide range of dates.

The Oosterdam continues to sail the popular seven-day Mexican Riviera itinerary, offering 28 cruises. The Zaandam will add two 10-day Mexican Riviera cruises - and the Ryndam will sail one - in the fall for guests who have more time to explore as far south as Acapulco.

“From vibrant Mexican Riviera ports to amazing wildlife in the Sea of Cortez, and with several hundreds of exciting shore activities to choose from, Holland America Line continues to offer more diverse premium cruise choices for Mexico travelers,” said Richard D, Meadows, CTC, senior vice president, marketing and sales.
