HAL details six-ship 2025-26 Caribbean deployment

Holland America Line is deploying three Pinnacle class ships in the Caribbean for the first time in winter 2025-26.

Nieuw Statendam, Rotterdam and Koningsdam will join Eurodam, Volendam and Zuiderdam in the region.

A total of 74 itineraries, ranging from seven to 14 days in duration, will depart from Fort Lauderdale and the new home port of Miami between October 2025 and April 2026. 

Cruises cover the eastern, western and southern regions of the Caribbean, as well as the Panama Canal.

All itineraries will call at HAL’s Half Moon Cay private island in the Bahamas (pictured), while select cruises will feature late-evening departures from Puerto Rico, Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire.

Chief commercial officer Beth Bodensteiner said: “This will be the first time all three of our Pinnacle-class ships are in the Caribbean together, allowing for even more opportunities for guests to experience all we have to offer. 

“With demand for Caribbean cruises remaining strong, we’ve planned a full season allowing guests to choose the islands they want to visit and the ideal length for their holiday.”

Cruise-only prices start at £929 per person for a seven-day eastern Caribbean sailing departing on December 6 2025.
