Holland America welcomes sixth ship back to service

The ship’s first restart cruise is a 10-day Mexico and Sea of Cortez itinerary, which will be followed by Panama Canal departures and a grand 35-day South Pacific voyage.

Zuiderdam was Holland America’s second vessel to resume service from San Diego, following Koningsdam in October.

Holland America now has six ships cruising again in the Caribbean, Mexico and along the Pacific Coast of the US.

"San Diego is an important homeport for us, and we are excited to have two ships back in full-time operation here with the restart of Zuiderdam today," said president Gus Antorcha.

"We are proud to be part of the San Diego community, which has continued to show us tremendous support throughout our restart. There’s no better way to kick off Zuiderdam’s season than with a holiday cruise full of joyful guests and our grateful crew who are happy to have them back onboard."
