With cruise ships all around the industry offering sales, rolling out new ships and adding new destinations to its itineraries, it is time for Holland America to step up to the plate and with the announcement of two Asia stops, they have done just that.

According to Yahoo the line's new "Asian Adventure," "routing on the 1,432-passenger Volendam, departing Feb. 17, 2014, from Singapore, sails on a round-trip itinerary that stretches up to Myanmar and explores Malaysia, Thailand and India. The 14-day cruise calls at Malacca, Penang, Porto Malai and Port Klang (overnight), Malaysia; Phuket, Thailand ; Rangoon (overnight), Myanmar, and Port Blair, India. Port Klang is the gateway to the city of Kuala Lumpur, famous for its diverse architecture, Malay mosques, Hindu temples and 222-acre Lake Gardens. With an overnight at Rangoon, guests will have time to visit the Shwedagon Pagoda--one of Asia's greatest religious sites--with its gilded domes that hover over the city protectively."

The line's other 14-day cruise, with departures dates set for Jan. 6, Feb. 14 and 28, and March 14, 2014, is called "Indonesian Discovery" and will include, again, according to Yahoo, "stops at Jakarta ; Semarang (Java); Lembar (Lombok); Komodo Island; Makassar (Sulawesi); Probolinggo and Suabaya (Java), as well as an overnight stay at Bali. Guests will have the opportunity to come face-to-face with the infamous Komodo dragon on Komodo Island, while an overnight at Bali gives time ashore to take in a traditional fire dance performance or visit Besakih Temple, considered by the Hindu Balinese to be their mother temple."

Fares for Holland America's 14-night Asia sailings, according to the company's website, start at $1,699 per person, based on double occupancy. The 14-night Indonesia Discovery sailings start at $1,799 per person.
