Holland America’s new Legendary Voyage showcases grandeur of Canada, New England, Iceland
Mark your calendars for a new 28-day Canada, New England and Iceland Legendary Voyage aboard Holland America’s Volendam on June 20, 2026.
The voyage takes guests north to ports like Portland, Maine, and Sydney, Nova Scotia, before sailing east to deeply explore seven ports in Iceland, followed by a westward return and four more ports of call in Atlantic Canada.
“Our Canada and New England cruises are filled with culturally rich destinations, storybook settings, the beauty of the St. Lawrence and vibrant fall foliage later in the season,” Beth Bodensteiner, chief commercial officer for Holland America Line, said in a press release.
The roundtrip Boston voyage includes three overnight calls in St. John’s, Newfoundland; Reykjavik, Iceland; and Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Holland America Line also is expanding its Canada and New England season in 2026 with more cruises, increased ports of call and added overnights. Throughout the season, 18 Canada and New England itineraries highlight the area’s charming cities, delicious seafood, rich maritime history, stunning lighthouses and natural wonders.
Nearly every itinerary calls either Québec City or Montreal—a gem of the province further Southwest on the St. Lawrence, – reachable thanks to Holland America Line’s perfectly midsized ships.
From April through October, Zuiderdam and Volendam offer seven-day departures roundtrip from Boston, or between Boston and Montreal or Québec City, Canada. Volendam also sails 10- or 11-day itineraries that delve deeper into the Maritimes and include Newfoundland and New France.
