All Holland America Ships Will Be Back in Service by Spring 2022
Holland America Line has announced the remaining return to cruising dates for all of the ships in its fleet. By late Spring 2022, the line will officially have all eleven vessels back in service.;
This new announcement from Holland America includes the latest restart dates for Noordam, Oosterdam, and Westerdam. Noordam will restart operations in March in Japan, Oosterdam will begin cruising the Mediterranean in April, and Westerdam will begin sailing this May in Alaska. According to the line with these newly announced restart dates of these ships, all cruises in Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and South America and Antarctica from January 2022 through the new return-to-service departure dates are canceled.
“We’ve been working intensely to get all of our ships back into service, and to have final restart dates that will complete the fleet is rewarding for everyone who has put their all into making this happen,” said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line. “Our progressive rollout plan allows us to be back in full service over the next several months, and we look forward to welcoming guests on all 11 ships cruising in different regions around the world.”
