From December 14, 2023, through February 29, 2024, guests who secure bookings for select summer 2024 through spring 2025 cruises with the premium “Have It All” cruise package will enjoy a complimentary stateroom upgrade, fare discounts, free fares for kids, and reduced deposits as part of the “Time of Your Life” offer. Additionally, those who book by January 31, 2024, will receive up to $500 per stateroom in onboard credit, depending on the cruise length. This is in addition to the “Have It All” perks, including shore excursions, beverages, specialty dining, and Wi-Fi, all included in the cruise fare.
Beth Bodensteiner, Chief Commercial Officer for Holland America Line, expressed, “Not only is it the holiday season, but for cruising it’s Wave Season, making it the time of year when we put together our best offer with the most requested benefits and amenities.”
Key benefits of the “Time of Your Life” promotion include:
Free Stateroom and Balcony Upgrades: Guests can secure a verandah stateroom for the price of an ocean-view, or an ocean-view for the price of an interior.
Free Fares for Kids: Guests aged 18 and under, traveling as the third and fourth guests in a stateroom, can sail on select 2024 and 2025 cruises for free, making family vacations more affordable.
Reduced Deposits and Cruise Fare Discounts: Travelers can plan future vacations with 50% reduced deposits for the first and second guests in the stateroom, along with cruise fare savings of up to 40% on included sailings.
Onboard Credit: Guests booking by January 31 receive onboard credit ranging from $100 to $250 per person, depending on cruise length, applicable for various amenities such as specialty dining, spa services, shore excursions, and more.
$500 Europe Air Credit Offer: North American guests on Europe cruises can benefit from a $500 air credit per person for up to two guests per stateroom, available until January 31, 2024.
The “Have It All” premium cruise package includes four high-value amenities: a shore excursion credit, specialty dining, a Signature Beverage Package, and a Wi-Fi Surf Package. These perks, along with the stateroom upgrade, reduced deposits, free fares for kids, and onboard credit, make for a comprehensive cruise experience.
The Wave Season promotion invites travelers to explore various destinations, including Alaska, the Caribbean, Europe, Mexico, Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, Panama Canal, Hawaii, South Pacific, South America, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S. Pacific Coast. Alaska Cruisetours, combining an Alaska cruise with overland exploration to Denali and the Yukon, are also included.
The “Time of Your Life” fares start at $799 per person, double occupancy, for Alaska seven-day cruises, and families can take advantage of Kids Sail Free, making a family of four pay as little as $1,598 for a stateroom on an Alaska cruise. In Europe, fares begin at $999 per person, double occupancy, for a Mediterranean sailing. The $500 air credit per person for Europe cruises booked through January 31, 2024, is applicable for two guests per stateroom.
Taxes, fees, and port expenses are additional for all cruises. It’s important to note that the “Time of Your Life” offer is not valid on Grand Voyages or cruises of five days or less. Kids traveling as the third or fourth guest in a stateroom do not need to book with Have It All to receive free fares, and the upgrade is subject to stateroom availability.
