Holland America Line Adds Short Caribbean Cruises for 2027/28 Season

Holland America Line is expanding its Caribbean offerings for the 2027/28 season by introducing new short-duration itineraries. The line will feature five- and six-day sailings departing from Fort Lauderdale, marking a shift from its traditional focus on longer voyages. These new routes will visit popular ports including Nassau, Grand Turk, and the line's private destination, Half Moon Cay. Additionally, the ship Oosterdam will return to the Caribbean for longer Southern Caribbean and Panama Canal routes following its 2025 refurbishment. Would you prefer a shorter getaway or a longer cruise when exploring the Caribbean?
