Glaciers, grand voyages and no-fly cruising, beautifully done

Not on the standard fare. Your cruise includes your cabin, the main dining room, the buffet, entertainment and live music, and basics such as tea, coffee and water. Choose the Have It All fare to add a drinks package, specialty dining, Wi-Fi and shore excursion credit.

Yes. Holland America sails round trips from Dover between spring and autumn, to the Norwegian fjords, Iceland, the Baltics, the British Isles and the Canary Islands. It’s a brilliant no-fly option. Search the sailings or ask us for the latest dates.

For most people who enjoy a drink, yes: the drinks package alone is usually worth close to the extra cost, and you get dining, Wi-Fi and excursion credit on top. If you rarely drink, the standard fare may be better value. We’ll price both for you.

Not usually. A daily service charge is normally added to your onboard account, unless your fare or a current offer includes it. We’ll show you exactly what’s included in your quote, so there are no surprises.

It’s one of the best. Holland America has sailed to Alaska for decades, visits Glacier Bay on many itineraries and offers cruisetours that add Denali and the Yukon to your cruise. We sailed Koningsdam to Alaska ourselves. Read our first-time guide to cruising Alaska.

Couples, friends and families who prefer a calmer, more grown-up feel, with great food, live music and plenty of time in port. If you want water slides and wild nightlife, we’d point you to another line, and we’ll happily help you choose.

The Pinnacle-class ships (Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam and Rotterdam) have the most choice. The smaller ships feel more intimate and often reach smaller ports. The best ship is the one sailing the itinerary you love, so tell us where you’d like to go and we’ll match you up.

You pay the same as booking direct, but you also get honest advice on ships, cabins and fares, help if plans change, and the option to add flights, hotels and land tours as an ATOL-protected package.
