HAL PRINSENDAN 2009 GRAND VOYAGES

Prinsendam, Holland America Line's most intimate ship carrying just 793 guests, will sail two Grand Voyages in 2009. Guests will cruise around South America and discover the wonders of Antarctica on the Grand South America and Antarctic Voyage, as well as explore European favourites and uncover lesser-visited ports on the Grand Mediterranean and Black Sea Voyage.

For those seeking a true journey of exploration, the ship first departs 02JAN09 on a 68-day South America and Antarctica cruise round-trip from Fort Lauderdale. During the circumnavigation of the continent, Prinsendam will journey more than 17,700 nautical miles and visit 32 ports of call in 14 countries, including overnight stays in Manaus and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Callao (Lima), Peru, and Fuerte Amador, Panama. Prinsendam visits an impressive total of 13 different ports in Brazil, including maiden calls at Maceio, Ilhabela (Sao Sabastiao) and Itajai.

For guests who have always wanted to explore Europe without flying, Prinsendam departs Fort Lauderdale 11MAR09 for a 50-day round-trip cruise to the Mediterranean and Black Sea.

After calls at Caribbean ports, the ship sails eastbound across the Atlantic where 25 centuries of history, art and culture await. During the voyage, Prinsendam will sail more than 14,400 nautical miles and visit 25 ports of call in 15 countries, including more unusual ports of call in Bulgaria and Ukraine. After sailing westward back across the Atlantic, the ship calls at Bermuda before ending in either New York or Fort Lauderdale. Overnight stays in Barcelona, Spain, and Istanbul, Turkey, as well as late-night departures in Arrecife, Canary Islands; Monte Carlo, Monaco; Kusadasi, Turkey; Santorini, Greece, and Lisbon, Portugal, allow ample time for shopping and exploration.
