Join the Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam and settle in for twenty-one nights of luxurious sailing across the sea from Ft. Lauderdale and back!
While aboard this Thanksgiving cruise you'll visit standard destinations such as Ft. Lauderdale in addition to once-in-a-lifetime destinations such as Puerto Limon, Kralendijk, and Colon. This route is an interesting one for the Nieuw Amsterdam. As a matter of fact, it sails it only once.
The price is the total you pay, no sneaky extra fees. At under $140 a day, this deal is solid.
Over 2,100 people can cruise on this top-rated Signature class ship, based in Alaska and the Caribbean and refurbished only two years ago in 2023.
The Nieuw Amsterdam Holland America delights guests with a casino, seven jacuzzis, a spa, and a gym.
Since being listed a few months ago, the cost of this cruise has remained at $2,914. This graph displays the price over time for each class of cabin. Now this sailing is at its lowest price, so lock in your cabin now before it rises.
This sailing spends eleven days in port and nine days at sea. Major features include visits to extremely rare stops like Puerto Limon and Colon in addition to long stops in Aruba and Kralendijk.
