Banana
Coast has
signed Holland America Line as the first cruise line to schedule
regular calls at the first mainland Honduras cruise port at Trujillo.
Holland America Line’s 1,260-passenger Ryndam is slated to call at
Banana Coast 11 times between 2014 and 2015 on its western Caribbean
itineraries. The ship’s Nov. 19, 2014, call is Banana Coast’s
first scheduled visit by a cruise ship, followed by the Dec. 17,
2014, call from Silversea Cruises’ Silver Cloud.
Themed
“Where the Rainforest Meets the Sea,” the $30 million Banana
Coast project is the newest cruise destination in the western
Caribbean. Construction on the passenger-reception and shopping
center was completed in February and a full slate of shore excursions
has been designed. Future plans call for construction of a two-berth,
post-Panamax pier.
Holland
America Line’s fleet of 15 ships offers more than 500 cruises to
415 ports in 98 countries, territories or dependencies. One- to
110-day itineraries visit all seven continents and highlights include
Antarctica, South America, Australia/New Zealand and Asia voyages; a
Grand World Voyage and popular sailings to ports in the Caribbean,
Bermuda, Alaska, Mexico, Canada/New England, Europe and Panama Canal.
