Fleet Upgrades and Upscale Cruising's Next Chapter

Holland America unveils 'Evolution' — a $500 million-plus renovation of six classic ships, the largest investment in the line's 153-year history, beginning with Oosterdam's drydock and adding new suites, solo verandahs, and a Grand Dutch Café. And Explora Journeys launches the bow section of Explora V at Fincantieri's Palermo shipyard, the LNG-powered fifth ship in MSC's luxury fleet expansion bound for delivery in 2027.
