Cruise & Tour – the best of both worlds

So, how about adding another dimension to your holiday package? By choosing one of our Cruise & Tour holidays, not only do you get to travel and tour to see the highlights of a country by road or rail, but you also take to the oceans to get a completely different perspective of a destination – plus the ability to travel to other areas (and often other countries) that will turn your holiday into a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Holland America Line

We work with partners such as Holland America Line to create exciting cruise itineraries aboard luxury, comfortable, and stylish ships. Not too big and not too small, Holland America Line’s perfectly sized ships are just right. They’re small enough to offer a friendly, intimate atmosphere (the bar staff will soon memorise your favourite drink), but big enough to pack in activities, entertainment, and restaurants galore (not to mention the spacious staterooms). Onboard highlights vary by ship, but can include Memphis-style blues bars, a sensuous spa, and relaxed outdoor areas with poolside seating and cabanas. 

We’ve highlighted below some of our Cruise & Tour itineraries with Holland America Line, from gliding through the frosty fjords of Alaska to catching some serious rays in the Caribbean, swaying to the infectious rhythms of South America, or living la dolce vita in the Mediterranean.

Alaska

Pair a week-long tour of the stunning Canadian Rockies with a beautiful Alaskan cruise, sailing the gorgeous Inside Passage, getting up close to the natural wonders of Glacier Bay and spotting whales breaching. From the comfort of our ship, Koningsdam, we’ll also spot harbour seals, swooping eagles and more as we sail past the monumental glaciers of the Alaskan fjords.

Caribbean

The glitz and glam of Miami’s art deco district is the perfect contrast to the laid-back, barefoot isles of the Caribbean. We’ll enjoy stunning sunsets while gazing out from Key West and venture into the wetlands of Everglades National Park aboard an airboat, spotting alligators and other native animals and birds as we go. Then we’ll slow down the pace with a Caribbean cruise aboard the elegant Eurodam, visiting highlights such as Barbados, St Kitts and Guadaloupe, as well as Half Moon Cay, Holland America Line’s private island in the Bahamas.

South America

Or maybe travel to South America. Spend a couple of nights in the vibrant Chilean capital of Santiago, exploring the city and journeying out to a winery to sample delicious reds. We’ll then cruise Oosterdam around the tip of South America, taking in spectacular landscapes of fjords, mountains, and glaciers. Back on dry land, we'll continue our tour, seeing the sights of Buenos Aires and Uruguay, and marvelling at the mighty Iguazu Falls.

Mediterranean

Our Cruise & Tour holidays aren’t just limited to long-haul, either. Our Italian Lakes and Bernina Express Tour combined with a Mediterranean Cruise offers a whirlwind experience of diverse cultures. We’ll take to the waters of Lake Maggiore and Lake Garda and glide through snow-capped peaks on the Bernina Express before sailing the Med. On board Oosterdam, we'll cruise through Croatia, Greece, and Turkey, exploring stunning coastlines, enchanting islands, and historic cities.
