About This Cruise

The 45 Night Legendary Ultimate Mediterranean & Atlantic Passage is a 45-night one-way itinerary aboard Holland America Volendam. You board in New York City and disembark in Fort Lauderdale, calling at 23 ports across 13 countries along the way.

In sequence the voyage takes in New York (New York City), Azores (Ponta Delgada), Portugal (Lisbon), Spain (Cartagena, Barcelona), France (Villefranche), Italy (Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples) 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 25 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.
