Holland America Line has opened bookings for its 2026-2027 Mexico and Pacific Coast seasons, featuring expanded itinerary options in both regions.
The Mexico season offers 16 departures across eight different itineraries ranging from seven to 12 days. All cruises sail either roundtrip from San Diego or between San Diego and Vancouver, with Koningsdam and Zaandam serving the routes. Itineraries feature the Mexican Riviera, Baja Peninsula and Sea of Cortez.
"San Diego is an important homeport for Holland America Line and provides an exceptional experience to our guests at the beginning or end of their Mexican cruise vacations," said Paul Grigsby, vice president of revenue planning and deployment for Holland America Line.
The Mexico season highlights include seven-day Mexican Riviera cruises visiting Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas; seven-day Baja Peninsula itineraries calling at Pichilingue (La Paz), Loreto and Cabo San Lucas; and extended 10- to 12-day options combining these destinations with additional ports and experiences.
For the Pacific Coast, the line will operate 11 different itineraries spanning one to seven days aboard five ships: Eurodam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam and Zaandam. These voyages sail from San Diego, Seattle and Vancouver, calling at ports including Astoria, Oregon; Santa Barbara, California and Ensenada, Mexico. Select itineraries feature overnight stays in San Francisco.
A notable offering is the 7-Day Great Bear Rainforest voyage, available on two departure dates aboard Noordam. Sailing roundtrip from Seattle, this itinerary includes Ketchikan, Alaska, along with several British Columbia ports, providing opportunities to view wildlife including whales, eagles and the rare white-furred Kermode bear (spirit bear). Passengers will also experience sailing the historic Inside Passage, including Bella Bella and the Grenville Channel.
"Seattle's our hometown, and as such, we know a little bit about the Pacific Coast — and the experience guests will have on these itineraries will show that," Grigsby added. "This series of cruises provides great options for those seeking a quick escape and are also a great introduction for those who might be trying their first cruise."
