Holland
America recently received two awards recognizing the company’s
commitment to the environment and for exceptional passenger
experience. In January, the National Tour Association honored Holland
America Line with the title of Favorite Cruise Experience at its
second annual Distinguished Dozen awards. The event honors 12
categories of destinations, hotels, restaurants and attractions
around the nation.
The
Alaska SeaLife Center, based in Seward, Alaska, also recognized HAL
with an Ocean Stewardship and Sustainability Award for its
environment-friendly practices. HAL is committed to reducing
emissions in Alaska’s waters and has forged partnerships in the
Inside Passage to collect and record data for an outreach program
designed to help Alaskans use and conserve coastal and marine
resources.
New
for the 2013 season, Holland America Line is expanding its Alaska
program with four new 10-to-20 day round-trip Seattle CruiseTours,
offering guests the convenience of combining an Inside Passage cruise
with an in-depth overland tour via motorcoach. Alaska-inspired
cuisine is also featured throughout both the cruise and land
components.
