Holland America Line’s 2025-26 Season: Pinnacle-Class Ships to Spearhead Caribbean Voyages
Holland America Line, a renowned leader in the cruise industry, is set to dramatically enhance its Caribbean presence in the 2025-26 cruising season. This expansion will see the deployment of all three of its state-of-the-art Pinnacle-class ships to the region, marking a significant milestone in the company’s operations. This strategic move underscores Holland America Line’s commitment to offering an unparalleled cruising experience, catering to the growing demand for Caribbean adventures among its clientele.
Scheduled between October 2025 and April 2026, Holland America Line has meticulously curated nearly 30 Caribbean itineraries. These meticulously planned voyages are designed to cater to a wide array of preferences and vacation durations, ranging from week-long explorations to more extensive journeys spanning nine to 14 days. Additionally, the cruise line is set to offer special holiday sailings during the festive months of November and December, providing guests with unforgettable experiences during the holiday season.
A highlight of these itineraries is the inclusion of late-evening departures from select Caribbean jewels such as Puerto Rico, Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire. This thoughtful scheduling allows travelers to immerse themselves more deeply in the rich culture and vibrant nightlife of these destinations, enhancing the overall vacation experience. Departures from key U.S. ports such as Fort Lauderdale and Miami offer convenient access for guests embarking on these tropical getaways.
An essential and highly anticipated feature of these itineraries is a visit to Half Moon Cay, Holland America Line’s exclusive private island in the Bahamas. Known for its stunning natural beauty, Half Moon Cay provides a serene and luxurious retreat for guests, encapsulating the quintessence of a Caribbean paradise.
