According to a press release for Holland America<\/a>, their two ships, The Oosterdam<\/a> and the Volendam<\/a>, are set to explore South America<\/a> and Antarctica<\/a>. This is part of their 2026-27 winter deployment plans. The season is divided into itineraries lasting from 14- to 31-days.<\/p>\n

These itineraties will take passengers to \u201chard-to-reach destinations\u201d like the Amazon River, Falkland Islands and Antarctica during the months between November 2026 and March 2027.<\/p>\n

Also in focus is the Pio XI Glacier, the Southern Hemisphere\u2019s largest glacier outside of Antarctica, for the season of 2026-27, about which Paul Grigsby, vice president of deployment and revenue planning, had this to say, \u201cPio XI\u2014or the Br\u00fcggen Glacier\u2014is the longest glacier in the Southern Hemisphere outside of Antarctica, and it is truly spectacular.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further added, \u201cSometimes referred to as the \u2018Grandaddy of Patagonian icefields,\u2019 it\u2019s known for its bright blue hues and signature dark streak, and it can really only be accessed via ship. Plus, it is a very active glacier for calving, so our guests are in for a treat when they visit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Holland American’s 14- and 15-day itineraries involve The Oosterdam which is set to visit this icy destination, sailing between San Antonio in Chile and Buenos Aires in Argentina.<\/p>\n

These itineraries are part of \u201cSouth American Pathways: Chilean Fjords and Glaciers.\u201d They are open-jaw cruises with visits to Montevideo (Uruguay), Stanley (Falkland Islands), Ushuaia (Argentina) and Punta Arenas, Puerto Chacabuco and Puerto Montt (Chile).<\/p>\n

Also featured are scenic cruises at the Chilean fjords, Glacier Alley and a day at the Pio XI Glacier.<\/p>\n

Moreover, in other news, Holland America’s \u201cLegendary Amazon Explorer\u201d involves being onboard the Volendam during its 2026-27 deployment. Guests will be taken on a journey into the heart of the Amazon rainforest, with 27 or 30 days roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale or from New York to Fort Lauderdale. Guests will be blessed with sights of wildlife such as the howler monkeys, exotic birds, pink dolphins and more.<\/p>\n

The Cruise Line<\/a> is also providing an extended opportunity to see the \u201cMeeting of the Waters\u201d between the Amazon River and Rio Negro, while on an overnight call in Manaus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
