Greeted by waving flags and cheering team members, Holland America Line’s Koningsdam was welcome back to the Port of San Diego as it set sail on its first West Coast departure since the start of the industry-wide pause.

The Pinnacle Class vessel is the largest Holland America Line ship to be sailing from the West Coast, and Oct. 10 is the first in a series of 23 seven-day cruise to the California Coast or Mexico that run through April 3, 2022.
