Holland America Line has announced itineraries for its two 2028 Grand Voyages: a 129-day Grand World Voyage and a 90-day Grand Australia & New Zealand Voyage. The itineraries focus on extended time ashore and include visits across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. The announcement was made by Holland America Line President Beth Bodensteiner aboard the 2026 Grand World Voyage.
Highlights of the Grand World Voyage include a 4-day Antarctic segment and calls across South America, including scenic cruising through the Chilean Fjords, Glacier Alley and the Beagle Channel, as well as Easter Island and a sail-past of Null Island at 0°N, 0°E. Passengers will experience eight days and six ports across New Zealand and spend 65 hours in Cape Town; plus, there are two equator crossings.
[vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id="td-leaderboard-middle"]The Grand Australia & New Zealand Voyage includes calls along remote Western Australia, while both itineraries include Bora Bora—marking the first time both Grand Voyages will visit the South Pacific destination in the same season. Let clients know this itinerary includes an extended evening stay in Bora Bora with time to snorkel, explore the lagoon by outrigger or take in the view of Mount Otemanu long after sunset. Plus, it’s a roundtrip departure from San Diego—no international flights required.
“What makes our Grand Voyage itineraries special is the opportunity to experience destinations more fully while visiting rare Mariners’ Collection ports exclusive to these cruises,” said Bodensteiner. “In direct response to our guests, the 2028 Grand Voyages are anchored by truly unforgettable moments, from exploring Antarctica and crossing the globe on the Grand World Voyage to sailing past Null Island, where the Prime Meridian and the Equator meet at zero, and calling at legendary destinations like Easter Island and Bora Bora.”
