About Us

Company History

For 150 years, Holland America has been synonymous with timeless travel, inviting explorers to discover the world with nuance, depth, and grace. We don’t just take you to iconic destinations — we immerse you in them with carefully curated itineraries, authentic cultural experiences, and regionally inspired cuisine made with fresh local ingredients.

Refreshingly free of coasters and waterslides, our perfectly sized ships sail more than 500 itineraries across all seven continents. Our voyages blend tradition with modern touches; from watching calving glaciers from your verandah in Alaska to dining on fresh-caught seafood in the Mediterranean, every detail is crafted to enrich and elevate.

With us, travel is personal. For more than 150 years, we’ve been trusted with a reputation for providing exceptional, anticipatory service. This tradition of genuine hospitality continues today, ensuring that every moment on board is rooted in care.

More than a cruise, we deliver a different kind of travel — one in which heritage meets innovation, with experiences too good to hurry through. From our dedication to sustainability and culinary excellence to our partnerships with cultural icons such as Rolling Stone and B.B. King’s Blues Club, we exemplify the art of leisurely travel.

We are for those who believe the journey is as important as the destination. We are Holland America.
