HAL Ups Entertainment on Grand Voyages

Holland America Line has announced a slew of 15 brand new shows onboard their Grand World Voyage and Grand Voyage: Pole to Pole, the months-long journeys that depart January 2025.

It’s the first time the cruise line has introduced this many shows and are doing so in order to keep the guests on the months-long journeys entertained with fresh options.

Each show will feature a distinct theme, including tributes to pop and rock greats like Carole King, the Carpenters, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and more. With titles such as “The Sounds of Summer,” “Solid Gold” and “Crossroads,” Holland America Line will offer a variety of performances over the duration of each cruise.

“Holland America Line has never introduced this many shows at one time,” said Bill Prince, vice president of entertainment for Holland America Line. “The Grand Voyages are the longest itineraries we offer and it’s important to keep the entertainment fresh for our returning guests. The new shows are a diverse collection of music genres to appeal to a wide variety of tastes.”

The 15 new shows will add to an already extensive entertainment program.  Comedians, headline entertainers, and performers sourced locally are mixed in with Holland America Line’s production shows and resident musicians, including a classical trio and dance band on both ships.  Guest chefs who specialize in the local cuisines will also join at select segments offering guests a chance to interact and dine at an exclusive, reservation-only dinner.
