Overview

Holland America Line's fleet of 13 ships visits all seven continents and highlights include Antarctica, South America, Australia/New Zealand and Asia voyages, Grand World Voyages and popular sailings to the Caribbean, Alaska, Mexico, Canada/New England, Europe and Panama Canal. Beginning in 2014, Holland America Line has rebranded its popular Alaska CruiseTour program with the new name Land+Sea Journeys to highlight more time in the marquee destinations of Denali National Park and the Yukon. Among the most significant program enhancements is a convenient one-hour flight that brings Fairbanks, Alaska, and Dawson City, Yukon, closer together - replacing up to two days of motorcoach travel and a hotel overnight. The company has also reached an agreement to acquire the McKinley Chalets Hotel in Denali National Park with a goal to further develop the property and deliver the finest destination resort and experience in Alaska.

To date, Holland America Line has invested more than $500 million in its one-of-a-kind programs and enhancements include:

  • Culinary Arts Center presented by Food & Wine magazine: a state-of-the-art onboard show kitchen where celebrated guest chefs and experts provide cooking demonstrations, wine-tastings, a cocktail mixology, hands-on themed cooking classes for both adults and kids, and other entertainment presentations.
  • An Evening at Le Cirque takes place in the Pinnacle Grill one evening on each cruise. The line re-created the legendary eatery's whimsical ambiance and award-winning dining experience on-board. Menus, wine selections, table decorations and the restaurant setting reflect an authentic Le Cirque dining experience.
  • New alternative, vegetarian-only menu, as well as 30 new vegetarian dishes to the main dining room menu.
  • A new 20-dish Master Chef's International Dinner in the main dining room showcases signature dishes from around the world.
  • Taste of De Librije aboard ms Rotterdam and ms Eurodam that features the cuisine of Culinary Council member and Michelin Three Star Chef Jonnie Boer. The menu showcases a selection of starters, soups, entrees and desserts from his land-based eatery.
    • Greenhouse Spa with exclusive signature treatments.
    • Digital Workshop powered by Windows®.
    • Explorations Café powered by The New York Times.
    • New spa and lanai stateroom categories.
    • New stateroom amenities highlighted by the plush Euro-top Mariner's Dream Bed, refined bathroom appointments, flat-panel TVs, pillow menus, new soft goods and bedding and more.
    • Club HAL® for kids and tweens ages 3-12 with supervised, age-appropriate activities; teens-only activity areas.
    • The Collections of Holland America Line - specially chosen shore excursions to further enhance guests' appreciation and understanding of the places they visit.

As part of its social responsibility initiative, Holland America Line contributes more than $1 million a year in cash, in-kind shipboard events and useable goods to a broad range of charitable organizations nationally and internationally. In addition, the line provides over 2,000 reduced-fare cruises annually to support charitable fundraising events throughout the United States and Canada.

The innovative On Deck for a Cause program is a non-competitive 5k fundraising walk held on each sailing. This program, announced in February 2013, supports cancer organizations in North America, Europe and Australia: Cancer Council Australia, Canadian Cancer Society, Deutsche Krebshilfe (German Cancer Aid), KWF Kankerbestrijding (Dutch Cancer Society), Cancer Research UK and American Cancer Society.
