Holland America Line reported a sharp increase in demand for its 2026 Europe cruise season, with total bookings up more than one-third year over year and Northern Europe itineraries rising nearly 50%. The company highlighted strong interest in longer port stays, access to both major cities and lesser-known destinations across 35 countries, and regionally inspired onboard dining. Demand is being supported by convenient departures from Rotterdam and Dover, promotional offers, and added onboard features such as live broadcasting of all FIFA World Cup 26 matches across the fleet.
