Each itinerary was designed to help guests authentically connect with the regions.<\/div>\n

\n Exploring Mexico<\/span> from San Diego<\/span>
<\/b>Koningsdam and Zaandam will sail the Mexico<\/span> season<\/a>, offering 16 departures on a variety of eight different itineraries ranging from seven to 12 days. The cruises, which explore the Mexican Riviera, the Baja Peninsula<\/span> and the Sea of Cortez, all sail either roundtrip from San Diego, California<\/span>, or open-jaw between San Diego<\/span> and Vancouver, British Columbia<\/span>, Canada.<\/p>\n

“San Diego<\/span> is an important homeport for Holland America Line and provides an exceptional experience to our guests at the beginning or end of their Mexican cruise vacations,” said Paul Grigsby<\/span>, vice president of revenue planning and deployment for Holland America Line. “After embarking in San Diego<\/span>, travelers can explore picturesque Cabo San Lucas<\/span>, take in the history of Loreto<\/span> and more \u2014 all while enjoying our premium onboard experience and best-in-cruise service.”<\/p>\n

Guests can further explore and see more of what Mexico<\/span> has to offer through exciting shore excursions in each port. From Mazatlan<\/span>, a full-day tour to the Colonial Villages of the Sierra Madre<\/span><\/a> is available, showcasing Malpica<\/span>, Concordia<\/span> and Copala<\/span> to further delve into the history of the region. And for those seeking an escape from civilization, Majahuitas Cove Catamaran Snorkel & Yelapa Bay Beach<\/a> is the perfect fit. Majahuitas Cove, accessible only by sea, will entice visitors with its warm water, gentle surf and abundant sea life. And Yelapa<\/span>, a charming Mexican fishing village, provides the opportunity to hike through the jungle to the Cola de Caballo (Horse Tail Waterfall), or simply relax on the sandy beach.<\/p>\n

\n Wildlife and Stunning Cities of the Pacific Coast
<\/b>
\n Eleven itineraries ranging from one to seven days<\/a> provide the perfect escape for those seeking to explore the stunning scenery of the Pacific Coast. Cruises are available on five ships, which will sail from San Diego<\/span>, Seattle, Washington<\/span>, and Vancouver<\/span> on a variety of roundtrip and open-jaw voyages. Cruises call at popular ports like Astoria, Oregon<\/span>; Santa Barbara, California<\/span>; and Ensenada, Mexico<\/span>; and select itineraries feature an overnight in San Francisco, California<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Guests can also choose from two departures of a 7-Day Great Bear Rainforest voyage aboard Noordam<\/a>, sailing roundtrip from Seattle<\/span>. The cruise, calling at Ketchikan, Alaska<\/span>, as well as a number of ports in British Columbia<\/span>, provides guests with the opportunity to view wildlife like whales, eagles and the rare white-furred Kermode bear \u2014 also known as the spirit bear. In addition, those aboard Noordam will experience a highly-sought-after but rare chance to sail the historic Inside Passage, including Bella Bella<\/span> and the Grenville Channel.<\/p>\n

“Seattle’s<\/span> our hometown, and as such, we know a little bit about the Pacific Coast \u2014 and the experience guests will have on these itineraries will show that,” said Grigsby. “This series of cruises provides great options for those seeking a quick escape and are also a great introduction for those who might be trying their first cruise.”<\/p>\n
