\n The voyage<\/a>\u00a0will sail aboard Zuiderdam, departing from Miami<\/span>, Florida\u2014Pan Am’s historic homebase\u2014Oct. 30, 2027. Zuiderdam will sail along Pan Am’s legendary Great Circle Route, a pioneering path that spanned the entire Caribbean<\/span> and set the standard for modern travel in the region. Guests will visit 18 ports of call, nearly half of which were featured on original Pan Am routes. Unlike typical Caribbean<\/span> cruises, this month-long journey ventures far beyond the usual, offering immersive exploration of harder-to-reach destinations and allowing guests to truly dive into the diverse cultures, histories and landscapes that define the region.<\/p>\n

“Pan Am and Holland America Line both helped pioneer modern travel\u2014Pan Am in the skies and Holland America Line at sea. With roots that reach back more than a century, both brands share a legacy of connecting people to the world with impeccable service and a spirit of discovery,” said Paul Grigsby<\/span>, vice president of itinerary planning and deployment for Holland America Line. “This collaboration is a tribute to the golden age of travel and humanity’s enduring drive to explore. We’re thrilled for our guests to discover new destinations and cultures along this extraordinary itinerary, all while savoring the journey itself\u2014immersed in the nostalgia, comfort and sense of exploration that define a truly legendary voyage.”<\/p>\n

After departing Miami<\/span>, Zuiderdam will sail southeast, first calling Nassau, Bahamas<\/span>, one of Pan Am’s earliest Caribbean<\/span> routes and a cornerstone of regional aviation history. Along the voyage, guests will be able to explore seven more original Pan Am destinations, including San Juan, Puerto Rico<\/span>, a vibrant cultural hub that first linked Pan Am’s Caribbean<\/span> network to both North and South America<\/span>. Later in the voyage, the ship will call at Willemstad, Curacao<\/span>, a UNESCO World Heritage City that served as a strategic refueling stop during Allied operations in the 1940s. The itinerary also includes Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago<\/span>; St. John’s, Antigua<\/span>; and others\u2014offering guests the opportunity to experience not only Pan Am’s legacy but also the rich character of each port.<\/p>\n

“Originally designed as ‘ships of the air’, Pan Am’s Clipper service offered passengers an extraordinary level of elegance and comfort,” said Craig Carter<\/span>, chief executive officer for Pan American World Airways. “From multi-course meals served on fine china to lounges for socializing, these flying clippers were a pinnacle of travel’s golden age. We’re thrilled to partner with Holland America Line to bring that experience back to life at sea\u2014100 years after our first flight.”<\/p>\n

Pan Am’s Clipper ships played a pivotal role in shaping modern air travel\u2014and expanding tourism across the Caribbean<\/span>. With boat-like hulls, Clippers could land on water, transforming virtually any harbor into an airport and enabling access to destinations without established runways. Passengers would disembark at each stop, often staying overnight in local hotels before continuing to the next destination\u2014an approach that blended transportation with immersive travel. Today, Pan Am’s legacy continues to be celebrated for its innovation and cultural impact.<\/p>\n

\n The 28-Day Pan Am 100th Anniversary Legendary Voyage<\/a>\u00a0pays tribute to that history. Through themed meals, period-inspired d\u00e9cor and historical programming, guests experience the magic of travel’s golden era with Holland America Line\u2014whether longtime enthusiasts, nostalgic explorers, seasoned cruisers or curious travelers drawn to its enduring appeal.<\/p>\n
