From fall 2018 through spring 2019, two Holland America Line ships will sail to Hawaii. Guests interested in exploring the Hawaiian islands can choose from nine cruises with itineraries ranging from 16 to 20 days aboard Eurodam and Amsterdam. Hawaii sailings depart from Seattle, Vancouver, San Diego, and Los Angeles.
Most itineraries include an overnight call in Honolulu, where guests have extra time to visit Pearl Harbor, relax on Waikiki Beach, take in the views from the Diamond Head State Monument or spend the evening enjoying traditional Hawaiian food and entertainment at an authentic luau. The cruises also call at Hilo, Nawiliwili and Lahaina, with most adding a call at Kona.
To kick off the season, Eurodam departs Seattle on September 29, 2018, for an 18-day Circle Hawaii cruise that calls at Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia, before heading to the Hawaiian ports of Nawiliwili, Honolulu, Lahaina and Hilo. Guests also can choose to embark two days later, October 1, and sail roundtrip from Vancouver on a 16-day sailing.
A second 18-day voyage is available aboard Eurodam on November 11, 2018, sailing roundtrip from San Diego. Guests will visit the same Hawaiian ports, as well as calls at Kona, Hawaii, and Ensenada, Mexico. Those planning for a holiday getaway can enjoy a comparable itinerary on Amsterdam's 17-day Hawaii Holiday cruise, sailing roundtrip from Los Angeles on December 21, 2018.
In 2019, three similar itineraries are available aboard Eurodam, including two 17-day sailings departing February 3 and February 20, as well as a 16-day sailing, embarking April 13. Cruisers interested in extending their vacation can lengthen the April 13 cruise and disembark in Vancouver after visiting Victoria for a 20-day voyage.
Guests who wish to dive deeper into the South Pacific can select Eurodam's 28-day Hawaii, Tahiti and Marquesas voyage on March 9, 2019. Sailing roundtrip from San Diego, cruisers will enjoy visits to six ports in French Polynesia – including overnights in both Bora Bora and Papeete – as well as two ports in Hawaii and a call at Fanning Island. Cruisers can further their exploration of the region on the Amsterdam's 51-day Tales of the South Pacific voyage on October 28, 2019. Sailing roundtrip San Diego, the ship will visit Hawaii, Tahiti, as well as calls in American Samoa, the Cook Islands, Fiji, Vanuatu and Tonga.
