On the other hand, the Grand World Voyage sets sail on January 4th aboard the elegant Zuiderdam. This extraordinary odyssey will take passengers through the Panama Canal and to the enigmatic Easter Island before crossing the vast Pacific Ocean to explore the wonders of Australia, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. Venturing further, the ship will sail south to South Africa, then meander along the eastern coast of Africa and navigate the historic Suez Canal. The final leg of the journey will take travelers through the captivating Mediterranean before returning to the United States.
To make these unforgettable voyages even more enticing, Holland America Line is offering guests who book either trip generous onboard spending credits and amenities valued at up to $8,800 for the Pole to Pole voyage, and up to $8,500 for the Grand World Voyage.
