What Are Holland America Legendary Voyages?
Holland America’s Legendary Voyages are a collection of longer, more immersive cruises that range from 25 to 59 days. These sailings are built around the idea that the best travel experiences come from slow, deep exploration — not rushing from port to port. Instead of spending just a few hours ashore, Legendary Voyages feature extended overnights in destinations like Reykjavík, Istanbul, Barcelona, Tahiti, Honolulu, and Tilbury (London), giving you 30 to 40 hours to truly experience each place.
Holland America has been sailing since 1873, and the Legendary Voyages program reflects more than 150 years of destination knowledge. These are itineraries that couldn’t be designed by someone who didn’t know exactly where the most spectacular corners of the earth are — and how to get there on a ship perfectly sized to navigate narrow waterways, remote anchorages, and iconic harbor approaches.
Why Legendary Voyages Are Perfect for Military Travelers
Military members and veterans often have more flexibility with extended leave — and when you have the time, there’s no better way to use it than a Legendary Voyage. These sailings reward patience and depth of experience, two things that anyone who has served already understands. You’ve put in the work. Now you get to explore the world at the pace it deserves.
The 5% military discount we apply on top of Holland America’s lowest published rate means that on a sailing that costs $8,000–$15,000+ per person, you’re typically saving $400 to $750 or more — just from our discount alone, before any Holland America promotions are factored in.

What Makes These Voyages Special Onboard
Legendary Voyages aren’t just longer versions of a standard cruise. Holland America builds exclusive programming into every sailing in the collection. Onboard, you’ll find regionally inspired Destination Dining™ — menus that change to reflect the cuisine of the regions you’re visiting, made with fresh local ingredients sourced at each port. The Global Fresh Fish program ensures the fish on your plate was caught nearby, not frozen for months in a warehouse.
Special Legendary Exclusives include a Legendary Bar Hop, Biergarten Festivals, Heritage Dinners, theme nights, and additional onboard parties that aren’t available on standard itineraries. Holland America has been awarded “Best Service” by Cruise Critic for four consecutive years, with a guest-to-crew ratio of 2:1 — meaning you’ll never feel like just another passenger.
UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Rare Destinations
What truly sets Legendary Voyages apart is the destination list. These sailings access more than 100 UNESCO World Heritage Sites across the globe. You might spend a morning at the Egyptian Pyramids at Giza — the only remaining wonder of the ancient world. An afternoon exploring the windmills of Kinderdijk in the Netherlands. A full day hiking in Vatnajökull National Park in Iceland, which covers nearly 14% of the country and contains ice caves, volcanoes, and geothermal rivers. Or a quiet morning watching spirit bears walk the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia.
Other destinations include the Amazon River, the circumnavigation of Australia, the fjords of Greenland, the Coral Triangle of Southeast Asia, Bora Bora, Tonga, the Golden Circle of Iceland, and the Istanbul Spice Bazaar. The itineraries are built for travelers who want to say they’ve actually been somewhere — not just taken a photo from a pier.
The Ships That Sail Legendary Voyages
Holland America operates Legendary Voyages on a select collection of mid-sized ships — perfectly sized to navigate routes that larger mega-ships simply cannot access. The ships in the Legendary Voyages fleet include the Nieuw Statendam and Koningsdam (Pinnacle Class), the Nieuw Amsterdam (Signature Class), the Noordam, Westerdam, and Zuiderdam (Vista Class), and the Zaandam and Volendam (“R” Class).
Mid-sized ships are ideal for extended voyages. They’re large enough to offer diverse dining, live entertainment venues, a full spa and salon, pickleball courts, enrichment lectures, and spacious deck areas — but small enough that you’ll never feel lost, and the crew will know your name by day three.
