The future of Holland America’s Grand Voyages
New Holland America president Beth Bodensteiner has been frank about whether the line’s guest experience will change on her watch. It won’t.
She reiterated this in an onboard session with guests during this year’s Grand World Voyage — another exclusive perk for booking this cruise. She also made clear that the Grand Voyages program is important to the line and that small enhancements — different shows, a new lecture program — are guided directly by guest feedback.
In 2027, after another year of skipping the Red Sea, Holland America will return to fully circumnavigating the globe for its Grand World Voyage. The reason? Guests requested it, so it’s happening.
