Guests can choose from seven segments on the Grand Voyage: Pole to Pole tour sailing aboard the Volendam (33 to 100 days) or six segments on Zuiderdam’s Grand World Voyage (20 to 55 days). 

“Our Grand Voyages are something our dedicated guests come back for every year while also attracting new guests who are eager to explore the world, but at over four months we recognize that not everyone has that time,” said Paul Grigsby, vice president of deployment and itinerary planning for Holland America Line. “By booking one of our 2025 Grand Voyage segments, cruisers can get a taste of the special atmosphere and community aboard these sailings at an incredible value.”

Guests on the Grand World Voyage can sail from Fort Lauderdale to destinations like Singapore, Sydney, Athens, Cape Town and back to Fort Lauderdale.

The Grand Voyage: Pole to Pole offers segments from Fort Lauderdale to Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires to Barcelona or Amsterdam and from Amsterdam or Barcelona back to Fort Lauderdale.

Highlighted segments:

• 55-day Fort Lauderdale to Singapore aboard the Zuiderdam, Jan. 4 — March 1, 2025
• 20-day Athens to Fort Lauderdale, aboard the Zuiderdam, April 19 — May 9, 2025
• 47-day Fort Lauderdale to Buenos Aires aboard the Volendam, Jan. 25 — March 13, 2025
• 33-Day Ijmuiden (Amsterdam) to Fort Lauderdale, May 5 — June 7, 2025.

Guests on the full or segmented Grand Voyages will enjoy Holland America Line’s exclusive entertainment and enrichment program, featuring 15 new production shows, comedians, local performers and resident musicians.

Culinary experiences include guest chefs who will offer live cooking demonstrations, “coffee chats,” and signature dishes in both the main Dining Room and Pinnacle Grill.

Additionally, the Zuiderdam and Volendam will meet in Barcelona on April 24, 2025, during the Grand Voyages. The event will be marked by Catalan-themed gala dinners and a special drone show.

Russia and Ukraine exchanged over 100 prisoners of war on Saturday as Kyiv marked its third Independence Day since Moscow's full-scale invasion.

Ukraine said the 115 servicemen who were freed were conscripts, many of whom were taken prisoner in the first months of Russia's invasion. Among them are nearly 50 soldiers captured by Russian forces from the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol.

The Russian Defense Ministry said the 115 Russian soldiers had been captured in the Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces launched their surprise offensive into Russia two weeks ago. The ministry said the soldiers were currently in Belarus, but would be taken to Russia for medical treatment and rehabilitation.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a post on X that the United Arab Emirates had again brokered the exchange, the 55th since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of its neighbor in February 2022.

Photos attached to Zelenskyy's post show gaunt servicemen with shaven heads and wrapped in Ukrainian flags.

"We remember each and every one. We are searching and doing our best to get everyone back," Zelenskyy said in the post.

Officials from the two sides meet only when they swap their dead and POWs, after lengthy preparation and diplomacy. Neither Ukraine nor Russia discloses how many POWs there are in total.

According to the U.N., most Ukrainian POWs suffer routine medical neglect, severe and systematic mistreatment, and even torture while in detention. There have also been isolated reports of abuse of Russian soldiers, mostly during capture or transit to internment sites.

Last January, Russia and Ukraine exchanged hundreds of prisoners of war in the biggest single release.

Drone and artillery attacks continue

Five people were killed and five others wounded in Russian shelling of the center of the city of Kostiantynivka in Ukraine's partially occupied eastern Donetsk region, local officials said.

In the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, Russian shelling killed two people and wounded four, including a baby, officials said.

Ukraine's air force said it had intercepted and destroyed seven drones over the country's south. Russian long-range bombers also attacked the area of Zmiinyi (Snake) Island with four cruise missiles, while the wider Kherson region was also struck by aerial bombs.

In Russia, the Defense Ministry said Saturday that air defenses had shot down seven drones overnight.

Five drones were downed over the southwestern Voronezh region bordering Ukraine, wounding two people, regional Gov. Aleksandr Gusev said. Ukraine's Military Intelligence Directorate claimed to have blown up a warehouse storing 5,000 tonnes of ammunition in the region's Ostrogozhsky district. News outlet Astra published videos appearing to show explosions at the ammunition depot after being hit by a drone. The videos could not be independently verified.

Two people were wounded in a drone attack in the Belgorod region, also bordering Ukraine, regional Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov said. Local authorities did not report any casualties in the Bryansk region, where the fifth drone was intercepted.

In the Kursk region, regional Gov. Alexei Smirnov said Saturday that three missiles were shot down overnight and another four on Saturday morning.

Russian air defenses shot down two more drones on Saturday morning, Russia's Defense Ministry said — one over the Kursk region and one over the Bryansk region.

Independence Day commemorations

Ukraine marked its 33rd Independence Day Saturday as its war against Russia's aggression reaches a 30-month milestone. No festivities are planned, and instead, Ukrainians will mark the day with commemorations for civilians and soldiers killed in the war.

Poland's President Andrzej Duda arrived by train early Saturday to Kyiv in a symbolic show of support from one of Ukraine's key allies.

Videos posted by his office show him being greeted by Ukrainian officials and later paying his respects in a ceremony at the Wall of Remembrance of the Fallen for Ukraine.

Duda's visit to Kyiv, his fifth since February 2022, sends a message that Warsaw's support for Ukraine remains strong as the war drags on for the third year.

Poland, located to Ukraine's west, has donated arms and become a hub for Western weapons destined for Ukraine. It has also welcomed tens of thousands of Ukrainians who fled the war. It hosts the most Ukrainian refugees outside of the country after Germany.

A trade dispute over Ukrainian grain that dragged down ties last year, and historical grievances between the two countries, sometime provoke bad feelings, particularly among Poles who remember a World War II-era massacre by Ukrainian nationalists.

A classic motorhome favored by families for its convenient walk-through layout and essential features.

The Great Indoors

A traditional motorhome with the self-contained features you expect. This economical family unit is a traditional favorite for those who want the walk-through convenience of a motorhome.

Features & Amenities

The rooftop air conditioner is easily controlled from within your motorhome to keep you cool and comfortable when the outdoor air is a little too warm. It's powered either by plugging into the campground power receptacle or the onboard generator outlet.

* Amenities do vary between vehicles. The photo may be from a different vehicle.

With a pressurized fresh water tank our RV/Marine toilet feels more like home. A large capacity sewage tank allows you to stop less and is easy to use.

The high-output gas range top is easy to use for any meal. Turn the burner to the "light" position, and then turn the igniter switch to light the burner. It’s that easy.

Our motorhomes are equipped with a receiver hitch, so you need to provide your own tow bar. No towing apparatus or hook-up services are provided under any circumstances. The customer must declare intention to tow prior to departure and warrant that towing weight is within 2,500 lb. tow weight restrictions. A daily towing charge will be imposed. Cruise America provides no collision or liability coverage for damage to the towed object or for third-party injury inflicted by the towed object, under any circumstances.

You can also attach a bike rack to the receiver hitch.  There is no charge for this feature, but you must let the rental center know at the time of pickup so the locking pin can be removed.

Take the kitchen with you, thanks to the gas/electric refrigerator.

Each Cruise America motorhome comes with a microwave oven as part of the complete kitchen. Not having to eat out at restaurants is one of the attractions of traveling in a motorhome, and we all know how handy a microwave oven can be when you're fixing snacks or meals!

The freshwater tank lets you take a shower without the worry of running out of water. And with the large hot water heater, you’ll never be out of hot water.

Board a motorcoach for the drive to Arromanches. This modest seaside resort owes its fame to the brilliant Mulberry Operation, which was an integral part of the Allied Landing in Europe in June, 1944.

With your guide, visit the remains of the artificial port built here -- it was one of the most extraordinary industrial and maritime achievements of the whole war. It enabled Allied forces to land in France and begin the counter-invasion.

Purchase lunch (at your own expense) before you continue to Colleville. Here you will find the American Museum -- the Overlord Museum -- which depicts soldiers' personal items, reconstructions and models of the whole landing operation right up to the Liberation of Paris.

Nearby lies the American Cemetery, where more than 9,000 marble crosses stand perfectly aligned on an impressive site overlooking Omaha Beach. A memorial, inscribed with a map of the operation and preceded by a reflecting pool, stands in the central alley surrounded by trees.

You will stop at Omaha Beach for a poignant few moments at the landing site before the drive back to Le Havre (approximately 135 minutes).
