Holland America Line’s 2021-2022 season, scheduled to kick off in October pandemic permitting, offers a range of seven to 21-day cruises featuring six premium, mid-sized ships including, for the first time, Rotterdam, pictured left, in her debut season in the Caribbean.
Between October 2021 and April 2022, cruises ranging from three to 14 days itineraries will head for the eastern, western and southern regions of the Caribbean, all sailing roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Rotterdam begins her Caribbean season with three- and four-day samplers. The four-day cruise departs 3 November and calls at Half Moon Cay and Key West Florida, and the three-day departs 7 November and calls at Half Moon Cay. She will then sail a series of cruises that include tropical, western, eastern and southern itineraries ranging from six to 11 days.
In addition to Rotterdam, guests can choose a Caribbean cruise on Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Nieuw Statendam, Volendam and one holiday sailing on Zaandam.
