In addition to its impressive roster of ports, the cruise marks a significant milestone for Holland America Line as it collaborates with Pan Am to honor America’s 250th anniversary. Both companies share a legacy of pioneering modern travel—Pan Am in the skies and Holland America Line on the seas.
Kacy Cole, Chief Marketing Officer for Holland America Line, explained, “Pan Am is an iconic American brand, and we are proud to partner with them to celebrate America’s rich heritage.
