Holland America opens the books on 2025-2026 Mexico and Pacific Coast

SEATTLE — Holland America Line has opened its 2025-2026 Mexico and Pacific Coast seasons.

Itineraries include longer calls at ports like Mexico’s Loreto and Topolobampo, and a new seven-day Great Bear Rainforest itinerary. Departures are Oct. 5, 2025 and April 19, 2026 aboard Noordam, to Ketchikan, AK and Prince Rupert, Nanaimo and Victoria, B.C.

“This in-depth exploration of the Pacific Northwest takes guests through the historic Inside Passage, sailing through some of the most confined waters our ships have ever sailed,” said Paul Grigsby, VP Deployment and Revenue Planning. “This is the true Inside Passage, the storied route between Seattle and Alaska that ships have been sailing since as far back as the gold rush era. It is a first for our company to plan a sailing focused on this fjord-like waterway that maximizes a daylight transit to allow best opportunities for wildlife sightings.”

Some 10 additional itineraries along the Pacific Coast highlight the region’s stunning scenery and sail from San Diego to Seattle or Vancouver. Cruises call at popular ports like Astoria, OR; Santa Barbara and Ensenada; and select itineraries feature an overnight in San Francisco.

Meanwhile Holland America Line’s Mexico season will operate roundtrip from San Diego or between San Diego and Vancouver, taking travellers to Mexico’s iconic ports like Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta, while also granting access to even more of the Sea of Cortez with calls at Guaymas and Santa Rosalia, Mexico. Late-night calls on select itineraries allow guests to discover historic sites in Loreto and take in Topolobampo’s scenery.

Holland America’s 2025-2026 Mexico and Pacific Coast sailings run from August 2025 to May 2026 and range from one day up to a 29-day Collectors’ Voyage.
