Destinations: Holland
America Line's fleet of 14 ships offers nearly 500 cruises
to more than 320 ports. Two- to 108-day itineraries
visit all seven continents, including Antarctica, South
America, Australia/New Zealand and Asia voyages; a Grand
World Voyage; and popular sailings to ports in the Caribbean,
Alaska, Mexico, Canada/New England, Europe and Panama
Canal.
Spacious, Luxurious
Ships: We operate some of
the most spacious ships at sea. Designed to carry fewer
guests, our ships feature expansive, multi-tiered public
rooms and well-appointed staterooms that are 25 percent
larger than those of other premium cruise lines.
World-Class
Dining: From fresh, casual
breakfasts on deck to elegant, five-course dinners in
the main dining room and intimate, reservations-only
restaurants, Holland America's chefs prepare and serve
hundreds of mouthwatering dishes. Naturally, you'll
savor gourmet entrées, but be sure to sample signature
touches like complimentary hors d'oeuvres, espresso
drinks and handmade chocolates.
Convenience
and Service: Although you'll
visit several ports of call with us, you'll unpack only
once. In addition, you'll enjoy impeccable service from
the very moment you step on board. Our crew members
will handle your luggage, attend to your room, help
you choose shore excursions and assist you with anything
else you may need.
There
are lectures by naturalists, noted authors or celebrities
included in the price. On-board sports and fitness centers
are yours to use and part of the experience. So is entertainment,
from lavish Vegas-style revues to intimate cabaret acts.
And there's one element that distinguishes a cruise
from all other vacations. That's the voyage itself.
That may sound obvious, but think about it.
You're
being transported from port to port in the most civilized
fashion possible. You're not paying for an airline ticket,
or taking a car, bus or train. You do what you like,
eat what you like, sleep as long as you like and then
you're someplace new. It's an experience no hotel can
offer. Activities from dawn to dusk. Life on board your
Holland America ship is always exciting. Because there’s
always something happening. Join in myriad planned activities,
or enjoy quiet time in superb surroundings. Huge bouquets
of fresh, fragrant flowers are everywhere. Priceless
antiques and artwork line the halls.
And each
features a teak promenade that completely encircles
the ship, which means there will always be room for
you at the rail for sunset watching. Holland America
ships are worlds apart from others sailing the globe.
And never has the Holland America Five-Star fleet been
so attractive. Today, with 13 spacious luxury ships
in our five-star fleet - three in our spectacular new
Vista Class - we continue to travel the world's waterways,
sailing to more than 320 ports of call and visiting
scenic cruising destinations on all seven continents.
