(PRERSS RELEASE)_Seattle, Wash., Sept. 27, 2023 — For its 2025 Canada and New England Season, Holland America Line is expanding its offering of longer voyages, adding maiden ports and showcasing a 25-day “Legendary Voyage” that explores Greenland and Iceland. With convenient departures from Boston, Massachusetts, and Montreal or Quebec City, Quebec, the cruises are an ideal close-to-home vacation to enjoy the region’s idyllic summer season or burst of color with changing leaves in the fall. From May through October, Zuiderdam offers a series of seven-day departures with ports that highlight the Atlantic Coast’s delicious seafood, maritime history, charming seaside towns and natural beauty. Volendam offers 10- and 11-day itineraries that include ports with a blend of historical English and French influences, while repositioning cruises to and from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, include a maiden call at Yorktown (Williamsburg), Virginia. In September, Volendam also will offer three seven-day cruises that feature highlights from the region and fall foliage opportunities.
“With Zuiderdam beginning in May, we will slightly increase our capacity in the region from previous years and add more verandah staterooms available for booking,” said Beth Bodensteiner, Holland America Line’s chief commercial officer. “Plus, our itineraries present several choices for a truly unique vacation that explores a culturally-rich region from an easy gateway for an extended season, including the popular fall foliage and longer voyages up to Greenland and Iceland.” Highlights of the 2025 Season:
· Zuiderdam will sail two different seven-day itineraries: “Canada & New England: UNESCO Sites & Québécois Nights," between Boston and Québec City, Quebec, Canada; and “Canada & New England Circle: New Brunswick," sailing roundtrip Boston. Select dates have late-night departures from Quebec City; Portland, Maine; or Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
· Zuiderdam’s 15-day Atlantic Coast cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Quebec City in May features an overnight at Quebec City, a call at Yorktown and late-night departures from Newport, Maine; and Charlottetown. · Both Volendam and Zuiderdam will cruise the region in the fall so more guests can view the impressive display of the changing foliage.
