Holland America uses it's unique insider’s view of Europe to create experiences for the curious — those looking to connect to the world and each other.
Holland America’s storied legacy comes to life across its thoughtfully designed 2027 Europe cruises, which blend iconic landmarks with lesser-known gems — an experience made even more rewarding when booked through Direct Travel, whose exclusive privileges elevate every moment at sea.
The cruise line uses its insider’s view of Europe to create experiences for the curious — those looking to connect to the world and each other. Holland America’s tradition of genuine hospitality offers guests the space to truly unwind, while its fresh, locally sourced cuisine opens the door to different cultures, traditions, and sometimes adventure. Discover the art of leisurely travel on a journey shaped by more than 150 years of European heritage.
These 7- to 42-day itineraries offer access to 200+ UNESCO World Heritage sites, Solar Eclipse and Northern Lights cruises, and exclusive shore excursions curated with The HISTORY Channel™. From the Acropolis of Athens to Iceland’s volcanic landscapes, Holland America invites you to uncover a breadth of cultural and natural wonders across Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, and transatlantic crossings. Wander the medieval streets of Dubrovnik, sip local wine along the Amalfi Coast, or marvel at Barcelona’s whimsical wonders on a single journey.
Certain celestial events are best experienced by sea. Solar Eclipse voyages allow you to witness this awe-inspiring phenomenon far from the lights and distractions of shore, while Northern Lights itineraries venture above the Arctic Circle in search of the luminous aurora borealis.
On land, exclusive shore excursions curated with The HISTORY Channel™ bring context and storytelling to every destination — from Pompeii’s ancient ruins to Northern Ireland’s Antrim Coast.
A journey through Europe is also a culinary exploration — a philosophy which Holland America brings on board.
The cruise line’s Destination Dining™ features classic favorites as well as regionally inspired cuisine crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. From Mediterranean dinners to Scandinavian brunches and port-to-plate seafood, each meal tells the story of your destination through its unique local flavors.
Culinary experiences go even deeper on shore, with guided tastings of Belgian beer, Spanish olive oil, and Corsican wine along with cooking demonstrations and visits to local markets across Europe’s most celebrated food regions.
Holland America’s mid-sized ships strike the ideal balance between elegance and intimacy — large enough to offer world-class dining, entertainment, and enrichment, yet small enough to access ports the megaships cannot.
On board, guests enjoy immersive programming that brings each destination to life and a relaxed, easy pace that gives you time to truly relish each place visited. Add in award-winning, personalized service and a welcoming atmosphere rooted in European hospitality, and the journey becomes as important as the destination.
