If you’ve wanted to visit Iceland, but didn’t want to fly there, Holland America has your ticket. In 2022, Holland America adds new cruises to Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland to some of their Canada and New England cruises.

Holland America Canada and New England cruises to Iceland and beyond in 2022.

For the first time, a Pinnacle Class ship will be positioned for Canada and New England cruises. Beginning in 2022, Nieuw Statendam will cruise more than 2,100 nautical miles from Boston to Iceland with entirely new itineraries on the Atlantic coast of North America.

Also in 2022, Holland America’s Zaandam will sail seven-night cruises to Canada and New England, plus longer repositioning cruises at the beginning and end of the season. 

A series of six- and eight-day “Canada and New England Discovery” cruises will be offered throughout the season. One special 24-day voyage aboard Nieuw Statendam will include all three distant North Atlantic regions; Newfoundland, Greenland and Iceland.

Holland America Culinary Tours

Partnered with FOOD & WINE, the Canada and New England cruises highlight both the culture and cuisine of the regions. In Quebec, it’s their famous poutine plus everything maple syrup-flavored. More Canadian cuisine includes fresh-from-the-sea oysters, mussels and succulent steamed lobster. Back in the U.S., there’s more seafood to enjoy. Try an authentic Maine “lobstah” bake in Bar Harbor, Maine. 

Almost 20 years ago, I created what became an award-winning cruise blog. In 2024, a scam artist conned me into selling it to him but I was never paid. Then he sold it and kept those proceeds. So I started this new site to continue my love for cruising. My newest passion is traveling around the US and Canada with my little dog Poppy, in my Travato camper van. I hope my articles and photos entertain, advise and inspire you to explore this amazing world. Visit TravelUpClose.com for all of my train articles, and ReadyGoHike.com for you outdoor enthusiasts.

    Hi Susan,
    Thank you for your comment. I only write about Holland America and other travel topics. You will need to find a travel agent or call Holland America to have your questions answered. The route to Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland is offered again, as mentioned in my article. Good luck and have a wonderful cruise adventure!

    WE HAVE TRAVELED WITH HOLLAND AMERICA QUITE A BIT AND YOU ARE ALWAYS OUR FIRST CHOICE. FOR TWO YEARS WE HAVE TRIED TO DO THE ROTTERDAM CRUISE INCLUDING ICELAND, GREENLAND AND NEWFOUNDLAND AND ENDING IN HALIFAX OR BOSTON. THIS WAS CANCELLED ONCE BECAUSE YOU SOLD THE SHIP. I KNOW SO MANY WHO WERE BOOKED ON THE TRIP TWO YEARS IN A ROW…COVID THROUGH THAT FOR A LOOP AS WELL. WILL THERE EVER BE THIS ROUTE OFFERED AGAIN? WE HAVE BEEN MOST PLACES AND THIS IS ONE TRIP TO WHICH WE WERE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD. BEFORE I DO ANY PLANNING FOR 2022, I WANT TO FIND OUT, AS THIS WOULD BE OUR FIRST PRIORITY.
