Holland America Line is offering a $100 onboard spending credit to Canadian members of the military, first responders and healthcare workers. The offer was previously only available to U.S. guests.

The bonus credit is available for select Have It All cruise bookings to a variety of destinations through May 2022. Reservations must be made by March 15, 2022.

"As a company committed to service, we wanted to recognize those who continue to give incredibly selfless service with an extra 'thank you' for answering the call," said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line. "Our hope is that while they are relaxing on vacation with us, they can enjoy their time on board just a little more."

The appreciation credit can be used for shore excursions, spa treatments, beverages, specialty dining, gift shop purchases and more. The offer is valid with Holland America Line's "The Ultimate Upgrade Event" promotion available with the Have It All premium fare that includes stateroom upgrades, 50% reduced deposit, and $75 kids fares in Alaska when sailings as a third or fourth guest, along with four popular amenities: shore excursions, a drink package, specialty dining and Wi-Fi.

The appreciation offer - that now includes first responders, healthcare workers and active, retired and veteran members of the military from the U.S. and Canada - can be earned on a variety of cruises to Alaska, Europe, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Mexico, Pacific Coast, Canada/New England and Panama Canal:
