Holland America Line South Pacific / Tahiti Cruises

All your cares seem to fade away as you sail through the serene beauty of the South Pacific. Here you’ll experience stunning sunsets, beaches with soothing shore lines and welcoming cultures. Your Holland America ship offers the perfect balance to the island. Onboard you’ll experience service that goes above and beyond and find comfort in daily rituals. However, these rituals get thrown out the window when you stop in port because each port has something different to offer. You’ll find yourself going from a day lounging on a beach in Fiji  to an afternoon visiting a sacred temple in Bali or even pearl diving in Bora Bora.
