Several cruises will be curated in partnership with The HISTORY Channel, including the 14-day Arctic Journey & Northern Lights, seven-day Mediterranean Marvels of Pompeii, and seven-day Norwegian Fjords with Hardangerfjord. Other departures include the eastern Mediterranean with a focus on ancient empires, Arctic encounters and the region’s history of polar exploration, and northern Europe and its Viking heritage, among others.
The partnership also means unique shore excursions like gold panning and underground mine exploration; Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and the Pyramid of Sakkara; and Stavanger Old and New.
“We are thrilled to join with Holland America Line on this groundbreaking, long-term partnership, to have the opportunity to bring the power of The HISTORY Channel brand as a whole new dimension to the cruising experience,” said David DeSocio, executive vice president, ad sales partnerships, A+E/The HISTORY Channel. “Through our unique storytelling and new curated itineraries, The HISTORY Channel is excited to help enable Holland America Line customers to further explore and understand the past, present and future significance of these beautiful and historic destinations.”
