Running from March 20 through April 30, 2024, this promotion offers incredible savings, onboard credits, and more, ensuring that guests can embark on unforgettable voyages across the globe at an unbeatable value.

Unveiling the Anniversary Sale

The Anniversary Sale is Holland America Line’s way of saying thank you to its loyal guests. Beth Bodensteiner, Chief Commercial Officer for Holland America Line, shared, “As we complete a full year celebrating 150 years as a cruise line, our Anniversary Sale is a way to thank guests for being a part of our history with incredible savings on nearly all of our cruises.” This offer includes up to 45% off cruise fares, onboard credits up to $300 per stateroom, 50% reduced deposits, and free third and fourth guests when traveling in the same stateroom.

What’s Included?

The sale encompasses cruises on all 11 ships in Holland America Line’s fleet, with itineraries ranging from four to 56 days. Destinations span the globe, including Alaska, northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Canada/New England, Australia/New Zealand, South America/Antarctica, the Pacific Coast, Hawaii, Tahiti, the Panama Canal, Mexico, and Asia. Collectors' Voyages, which combine two back-to-back, non-repeating itineraries, are also part of the offer, providing a rich and diverse cruising experience.

Combining with the 'Have It All' Premium Fare

One of the highlights of the Anniversary Sale is its combinability with Holland America Line’s popular "Have It All" premium fare. This combination adds even more value to the cruise vacation, as guests receive four high-value amenities included in the fare: shore excursions, a Signature Beverage Package, specialty dining, and a Wi-Fi Surf Package. 

Bodensteiner noted, “Guests appreciate the onboard spending money, while reduced deposits make it easier to plan a vacation that can be more than a year away. Free third and fourth guests is ideal for families and friends looking to travel together.”
