Solo cabin from $16,999

From Berlin’s Oktoberfest cheer to the glow of the Northern Lights, two consecutive Holland America Line voyages sweep across Northern Europe and the Arctic Circle.

Begin in Amsterdam before setting sail through the Baltic, where historic ports and elegant cities unfold in gentle succession. In Warnemunde, the gateway to Berlin, raise a stein amid the colour and camaraderie of Oktoberfest, one of Europe’s best-loved autumn traditions.

A short stay in Rotterdam links the two voyages, before you turn north in search of nature’s most elusive spectacle. Crossing the Arctic Circle not once but twice, you’ll sail past Norway’s dramatic fjords and remote northern outposts, scanning the night sky for the shimmering Northern Lights. Two consecutive Holland America Line voyages combine effortlessly to create one grand European adventure, blending festival cheer, coastal charm, and the pursuit of nature’s most captivating phenomenon.
