About This Cruise
The 30 Night Legendary Amazon Explorer is a 30-night one-way itinerary aboard Holland America Volendam. You board in New York City and disembark in Fort Lauderdale, calling at 13 ports across 8 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in New York (New York City), Florida (Fort Lauderdale), St. Maarten (Philipsburg), Martinique (Fort de France), Barbados (Bridgetown), Brazil (Macapa, Santarem, Boca da Valeria and 4 more) and 2 more, among others.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into New York City and home from Fort Lauderdale, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 16 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
