Holland America Line's 2027/28 Caribbean season offers a wide range of choices, from five- and six-day getaways to longer voyages that spend more time in port. Nearly every itinerary includes RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay, the line's private island in The Bahamas.
The October 2027 through March 2028 season spans 29 itineraries across 47 departures, visiting 35 ports in 25 countries and territories throughout the Eastern, Western and Southern Caribbean, as well as the Panama Canal.
The season also introduces enhanced onboard and shoreside experiences, including Oosterdam as the first ship to complete Holland America's $500m Evolution upgrades.
"With more Caribbean itineraries of nine days or longer than any other cruise line, guests have more time to explore each destination and relax at our private island and with signature experiences on board," said Paul Grigsby, VP deployment and revenue planning, HAL.
Shore excursions curated with The History Channel and locally focused "Meet the Makers" tours bring each destination to life, while dining will be influenced by Caribbean flavors and the line's Global Fresh Fish Program.
Passengers sailing the Caribbean beginning December 2027 will have the opportunity to experience the reimagined Oosterdam following its Evolution investment. The ship will sport new stateroom and suite categories and a Grand Dutch Café, among other changes.
During the 2027/28 Caribbean season, Oosterdam will sail longer itineraries across the Southern Caribbean and Panama Canal.
RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay is being enhanced with new offerings including a new beach club featuring waiter service, priority tendering, exclusive food and beverage options and upgraded seating, along with indoor and outdoor spaces with ship views.
Other changes include a refreshed Lobster Shack, island-exclusive menu items and new beverage experiences including Aperol spritz tricycles and Bacardi beach buggies. Additional upgrades are expanded cabanas and villas, new shopping and enhanced beach facilities and activities such as pickleball.
As earlier reported, a highlight of the season is the 28-day "Pan Am 100th Anniversary Legendary Voyage" aboard Zuiderdam. Created in partnership with Pan Am, the sailing traces the airline's historic Clipper flying boat routes across the Caribbean, Mexico and Latin America, visiting 19 ports in 13 countries. It embarks Oct. 30, 2027 and sails roundtrip Miami.
Eight holiday cruises are available, starting in late December Ships are decorated for the season and feature festive dining, live music and holiday programming that bring together traditions from around the world. One of those is Oosterdam's 11-day "Southern Caribbean Holiday," departing Dec. 22, roundtrip Port Everglades.
