Your home for all 5 nights aboard Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 5 Night Pacific Coastal Cruise is a 5-night one-way itinerary aboard Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam. You board in Vancouver and disembark in Montevideo, calling at 22 ports across 11 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Canada (Vancouver), California (San Francisco, San Diego), Mexico (Cabo San Lucas, Huatulco), Guatemala (Puerto Quetzal), Costa Rica (Puerto Caldera), Ecuador (Manta) and 2 more, among others.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Vancouver and home from Montevideo, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 18 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.
