In the News: Grand Pacific & Far East Voyage

Want to travel to Asia from the USA in a leisurely fashion?  Holland America has a new option for you.

The Seattle-based cruise line says its 1,380-passenger Amsterdam will operate an epic, 78-day sailing from the USA to Asia and back in late 2014.

The "Grand Pacific & Far East Voyage," as it's being called, will kick off in Seattle on Sept. 21, 2014 and include stops in Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, Singapore, Jakarta, Bali and Indonesia.

In addition to stops in Asia, the sailing will include several calls in Australia before the ship circles back toward the USA with stops in the South Pacific and Hawaii. It ends Dec. 8 in San Diego.

Think exotic must-see destinations and you can picture yourself atop the Great Wall of China; standing in awe of Beijing’s Imperial Palaces; participating in a Japanese tea ritual; walking into Buddhist temples in Java and Bali; and cruising into Australia and snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef.

Our Grand Pacific & Far East Voyages offers immersive visits to South Korea, China, Vietnam, Singapore, Australia, New Caledonia, Samoa and Hawaii. Explore a kaleidoscope of cultures with extended stays in favorite ports, unique maiden calls and award-winning cuisine.

The trip includes eight overnight calls along the way at Tokyo; Incheon (Seoul), South Korea; Xingang (Beijing), Shanghai and Hong Kong, China; Singapore; Sydney, and Honolulu.

Fares for the voyage start at $11,499 per person, based on double occupancy, for a windowless "interior" cabin. Fares for ocean-view cabins start at $12,999.
