Holland America Line has announced their 2027-2028 Asia season that includes the cruise line visiting new ports in Japan.

The three new ports in Japan that Holland America Line will visit are Hitachinaka, Nagoya, and Maizuru. This includes a new scenic cruising experience in Maizuru Bay.

Six ports will feature overnight visits allowing guests the opportunity for a deeper authentic connection. They are:

• Halong Bay, Vietnam
• Seoul, South Korea
• Bangkok, Thailand
• Manila, Philippines
• Osaka, Japan
• Shanghai, China

Cruises on Noordam will range from 13 to 15 days and visit Japan, South Korea, China, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam.

A total of 15 itineraries will be offered with many of them sailing from Tokyo, Japan. Other homeports include Singapore, Hong Kong and Seattle.

Robert de Bruin, Holland America Line’s director of deployment and itinerary planning, said the following about these new cruises in Japan:

“Asia offers guests a wealth of natural wonders and remarkable cultural landmarks. We know our guests are eager for deeper exploration, so this season we’ve added new ports, increased calls to lesser-visited destinations and provided extended stays in popular locales. These enhancements allow guests to make the most of their journey, fully delving into the culture of each destination.”
