Holland America Line Announces Robust 2025-26 Caribbean Cruises Featuring Pinnacle-Class Ships

Holland America Line has officially unveiled its highly anticipated 2025-26 Caribbean season, promising an unparalleled cruising experience for passengers looking to immerse themselves in the beauty and vibrancy of the Caribbean. From October 2025 through April 2026, the cruise line will offer nearly 30 distinct itineraries, signaling a significant expansion of its offerings in one of the world's most beloved cruising destinations. Among the most exciting updates for the upcoming season is the introduction of Miami, Florida, as a homeport, alongside the company’s mainstay, Port Everglades. This move not only underscores the line’s commitment to providing accessible luxury cruising options but also enhances flexibility and choice for passengers planning their Caribbean escapes.

Travelers aboard Holland America Line can expect to journey across the eastern, western, and southern regions of the Caribbean Sea, with routes carefully designed to showcase the stunning diversity of the area. Highlights of these cruises include a partial Panama Canal transit, providing an unforgettable experience through one of engineering’s most awe-inspiring feats. Furthermore, the season marks a milestone as it will be the first time that all three of Holland America Line’s Pinnacle-Class ships - Nieuw Statendam, Rotterdam, and Koningsdam - will sail these waters together, alongside other members of the fleet, offering more opportunities for guests to discover the line’s renowned service, dining, and entertainment.

Key to the Holland America Line experience is its private island, Half Moon Cay, located in the Bahamas. All itineraries for the 2025-26 Caribbean season include a visit to this exclusive island paradise, allowing passengers to revel in pristine beaches, engaging activities, and the tranquility of a private island escape. Moreover, select itineraries feature late evening departures from charismatic ports such as Puerto Rico, Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire, maximizing guests’ time to explore these vibrant locales.

The culinary offerings onboard are set to be a highlight, with menus that reflect the local flavors and specialties of the Caribbean, including dishes like yellowtail snapper and plantains. For those looking to extend their Caribbean adventure, the line offers Collectors’ Voyages - extended journeys that combine nonrepeating, back-to-back itineraries, allowing for an in-depth exploration of the region. These voyages, which can stretch from 14 to 21 days, provide an ideal option for travelers seeking a more comprehensive Caribbean experience.

In addition to the myriad of travel options, guests booking select 2025-2026 Caribbean cruises will enjoy the 'Have It All' package for a limited time. This special offer includes complimentary upgrades such as the Elite Beverage Package and premium Wi-Fi, adding even more value to Holland America Line’s already luxurious cruise experience. With the launch of the new season, Holland America Line reiterates its position as a leading cruise line offering an array of high-quality, enriching experiences tailored to the desires of modern travelers looking for the perfect Caribbean getaway.
