After departing Piraeus on 18 Oct 2025, Nieuw Statendam will take you and your travel party to remarkable destinations - and FindMyExcursions is here to help you experience more in each port.
We've partnered with the world’s largest tour marketplaces, including Viator, to offer a curated selection of excursions that go beyond what’s available in your Holland America Line planner.

About Catania
Catania, a lively port city on Sicily’s east coast, sits in the shadow of Mount Etna – one of Europe’s most active volcanoes. The city blends ancient charm with raw natural power, making it a fascinating stop for cruise visitors. In the heart of Catania, the grand Piazza del Duomo is home to the ornate Catania Cathedral and the quirky Fontana dell’Elefante – a beloved city symbol. Just behind the square, you’ll find La Pescheria, a bustling weekday fish market where traders shout their wares and fresh seafood sizzles in nearby restaurants. Wander the baroque streets, admire grand palaces and crumbling ruins, or venture further afield for a guided excursion up Etna’s slopes, where lava flows and dramatic views await. Whether you’re browsing local markets, sipping Sicilian wine, or simply soaking up the vibrant street life, Catania offers a heady mix of history, culture, and volcanic drama all in one.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the ‘Worry-Free Shore Excursion’ on some of the excursions?
Viator’s Worry-Free Shore Excursion policy means that if your tour runs late and you miss your ship, they’ll arrange transport to the next port at no additional cost to you. This offer applies only to shore excursions specifically marked with the ‘Worry-Free’ badge on Viator. When you use FindMyExcursions, we help match you with these eligible tours where available, so you can book with confidence knowing you're covered if unexpected delays occur.

What are the risks of booking with third-party providers?
When you book excursions independently (i.e., outside of the cruise line), you’re responsible for managing your time ashore. If you miss the ship’s departure, the cruise will not wait, and you’ll have to make your own way to the next port.
That’s why FindMyExcursions only features tours that fit within your port timings, with enough buffer to get you back in good time. Many also offer port pick-up/drop-off for added convenience and peace of mind. You get all the flexibility of third-party booking, with smart, cruise-specific filtering built in.
Will I get a refund if the ship doesn’t dock or our itinerary changes?
If your ship is unable to dock or your itinerary changes at short notice, most tour providers on Viator offer a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. However, cancellations within 24 hours usually aren't refundable. We recommend checking each tour’s cancellation policy before booking, as they can vary. Also, having comprehensive cruise travel insurance is key. Some policies may cover missed ports or excursions, but this usually depends on the circumstances and how much notice the cruise line provided. We’re not qualified to offer legal or financial advice so always check the fine print of your policy or speak to your insurer for specifics.
