Discover Canada And New England With HAL

Holland America is setting a course for the East Coast of North America in 2022, with sailings of Zaandam and Nieuw Statendam.

In fact, bookings are now open for May through October 2022 sailings that will allow passengers to discover why a cruise to Canada and New England is as much about the journey as it is about the destination.

Zaandam and Nieuw Statendam will offer a series of six- through eight-day “Canada & New England Discovery” departures featuring New England’s quintessential towns and Canada’s undeniable Old-World French flair. Aboard Nieuw Statendam, guests also can set off on explorations up to 24 days that stretch to Newfoundland, Greenland and Iceland, where the region’s dramatic landscapes are the star of the journey.

New and Notable in 2022:

• In August 2022, Nieuw Statendam will debut as the first Pinnacle Class ship to sail to Canada, New England and beyond.
• A new 24-day cruise departing Aug. 3 on Nieuw Statendam sails roundtrip from Boston, Massachusetts, and circumnavigates Iceland, making six calls around the country, with additional visits to Greenland, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.
