Holland America adds a third ship to allow a better selection for their Mexico sailings, Cruises will specialize in providing trips to the Mexican Riviera and the Sea of Cortez. The Holland America Line ships include the Oosterdam, Zaandam, and Ryndam as vessels that will provide service to Mexico.

In 2007 Holland America Line will continue to be the only major cruise
line sailing the pristine Sea of Cortez on 10-day, roundtrip San Diego
cruises. The Ryndam will feature 11 such departures in winter/spring and fall,
providing a wide range of dates. The Oosterdam continues to sail the popular
seven-day Mexican Riviera itinerary, offering 28 cruises. The Zaandam will add
two 10-day Mexican Riviera cruises — and the Ryndam will sail one — in the
fall for guests who have more time to explore as far south as Acapulco.

 ”From vibrant Mexican Riviera ports to amazing wildlife in the Sea of
Cortez, and with several hundreds of exciting shore activities to choose from,
Holland America Line continues to offer more diverse premium cruise choices
for Mexico travelers,” said Richard D, Meadows, CTC, senior vice president,
marketing and sales.  “In addition, Holland America Line’s Mexico cruises
offer the convenience of sailing from San Diego’s cruise port, just minutes
from the city’s airport, and a popular city for pre- and post-cruise options.”
