Holland America Line is celebrating 152 years of offering cruise vacations with an “Anniversary Sale” that runs now through April 30.
The sale includes sailings from April 2025 through April 2026, with cruises ranging from four to 56 days. Incentives include up to 30% off cruise fares, onboard credits up to $300 per stateroom, 50% reduced deposits and free third and fourth guests when travelling in the same stateroom.
All of Holland America Line’s global destinations are part of the offer: Alaska cruises and Cruisetours, Caribbean, Canada/New England, northern Europe, Mediterranean, Australia/New Zealand, South America/Antarctica, the Pacific Coast, Hawaii, Tahiti, Panama Canal, Mexico and Asia. Collectors’ Voyages, which combine two back-to-back, non-repeating itineraries, are also included.
“Holland America Line’s 152-year history is worth celebrating in a big way, and our Anniversary Sale does that by rewarding loyal guests and new guests who want to experience our award-winning, personalized service,” said HAL president Beth Bodensteiner.
“Cruising is an exceptional value compared to land-only travel, and offers like our Anniversary Sale make the art of leisurely travel even more attainable — whether it’s a weeklong Alaska vacation or a dream exploration around the South Pacific.”
Anniversary Sale Combines with ‘Have It All’ Premium Fare
The Anniversary Sale is combinable with Holland America Line’s popular “Have it All” premium fare. When booking with Have It All, in addition to the Anniversary Sale fare discounts, onboard credit, free third and fourth guests, and reduced deposits, guests also receive four high-value amenities: shore excursions, a Signature Beverage Package, specialty dining and a Wi-Fi Surf Package.

Onboard Credit Good for Dining, Shore Excursions and More
Guests who book an Anniversary Sale cruise receive up to a $300 per stateroom onboard credit (depending on stateroom category and length of cruise). The credit can be used for a variety of amenities, including specialty dining, spa services, shore excursions, gift shop purchases, beverages, photography and more.
Free Third or Fourth Guests on Select Cruises
Third and fourth guests cruise for free on select departures when travelling in the same stateroom. This makes a family getaway or friends’ vacation even more affordable. Hundreds of cruises and Alaska Cruisetours on all 11 ships are included in the Anniversary Sale. Example departures and per person, per day starting fares:
- 7-day Alaska Explorer on Westerdam, April 27, 2025, starting at $105.
- 15-day Atlantic Seaboard & Colonial New England: Quebec City on Zuiderdam, May 9, 2025, starting at $65.
