Holland America Line Launches 2027 Solar Eclipse and Northern Lights Cruises
Holland America Line announced new 2027 cruises designed around two major celestial events: the August 2, 2027 total solar eclipse and the Northern Lights. Two special eclipse-themed voyages are now open for booking: a 28-day roundtrip from Rotterdam or Dover aboard Nieuw Statendam featuring 13 European ports, and a 14-day roundtrip from Athens aboard Oosterdam covering Greece, Malta, Italy, and Tunisia. Both ships will position themselves near the eclipse’s path of totality off the coasts of Morocco and Tunisia, respectively.
Additionally, three Northern Lights cruises are scheduled aboard Rotterdam and Nieuw Statendam in October and November 2027. These itineraries include multiple Norwegian ports and extended stays above the Arctic Circle, including overnight calls in Alta, known as “The City of the Northern Lights.”
Both cruise themes feature expert lectures, themed excursions, and limited-time early booking perks, including onboard credits and package upgrades through the “Have It All” and Mariner Society programs.
