Holland America is honouring Pan Am’s golden age of travel aboard its ‘Pan Am 100th Anniversary Legendary Voyage, with a curated collection of onboard experiences and shore excursions.
This is especially designed to immerse guests in the history, glamour and spirit of Pan Am’s iconic Clipper era. From Pan Am-inspired dining and expert guest speakers to the return of the legendary Clipper Club and exclusive tours, the cruise will weave the airline’s history into the journey from ship to shore.
Paul Grigsby, vice president of itinerary planning and deployment for Holland America Line, said Pan Am helped redefine what it meant to travel, turning the journey into an experience filled with discovery, connection and a sense of occasion.
“With this cruise, we’re bringing that era to life while merging elements of Pan Am’s storied history with Holland America Line’s signature experiences, giving guests a chance to see how the legacies of two travel brands come together in ways that feel authentic to both, from the ship to the destinations along the way.”
Craig Carter, CEO, Pan Am Global Holdings, said they will be marking 100 years of Pan Am at the start of this cruise. “I can’t think of a better way for our biggest fans and new fans to celebrate. Not only is the cruise itinerary reminiscent of our early days of the Flying Clippers, but the onboard experience we are creating with Holland America will bring to life a special time in the history of travel.”
The 28-day cruise aboard Zuiderdam sails roundtrip from Miami, Florida, departing Oct. 30, 2027, retracing portions of Pan Am’s historic routes through the Caribbean and Central America. Along the way, guests will have opportunities to experience destinations through the lens of Pan Am’s legacy while discovering the culture, history and attractions that make each place special today.
Moreover, the voyage also will recreate elements of the Clipper Club, Pan Am’s exclusive network of private airport lounges that became synonymous with the airline’s premium travel experience.
The Clipper Club offered Pan Am passengers a dedicated space to relax, dine and socialize before and between flights. On board Zuiderdam, guests will encounter moments inspired by the original Clipper Club and get a taste of the welcoming atmosphere and hospitality that extended beyond the aircraft.
