Holland America Line Announces 2025 Grand Voyage Options

Holland America Line has announced segments for its 2025 Grand World Voyage or Grand Voyage: Pole to Pole are available now. Seven segments are available for the Grand Voyage: Pole to Pole, ranging from 33 to 100 days. On the Grand World Voyage, cruisers can choose from six segments, ranging from 20 to 55 days. The segments allow guests to choose from a variety of shorter itineraries to cater to their own taste and time investment. These segments begin at $169 per day.

“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 recognize that not everyone has that time,” said Paul Grigsby, vice president of deployment and itinerary planning for Holland America Line. “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.”

  • Fort Lauderdale, FL to Singapore or Sydney, Australia;
  • Singapore to Athens, Greece;
  • Cape Town, South Africa to Fort Lauderdale, FL;
  • Sydney, Australia to Cape Town, South Africa;
  • Athens, Greece to Fort Lauderdale, FL. 

Aboard the Grand Voyage: Pole to Pole, segments cruise from: 

  • Fort Lauderdale, FL to Buenos Aires, Argentina;
