Holland America Line (HAL) has launched an anniversary sale featuring fare discounts, onboard credits, reduced deposits, and free fares for kids, all to celebrate 153 years of travel.

Running between April 2-30, HAL’s Anniversary Sale will include departures from April 2026 through spring 2027, with cruises ranging from four to 69 days. The deal is not valid on cruises of three days or less or Grand Voyages. 

“Celebrating 153 years of ocean exploration is about honoring the guests who have traveled the world with us,” HAL President Beth Bodensteiner said. 

“The Anniversary Sale is both a thank you to our loyal guests and an invitation to new travelers to experience our thoughtfully designed itineraries, immersive destination experiences and exceptional service—all with added value and special savings,” Bodensteiner continued.

The cruise line’s celebratory promotion features up to 30% off cruise-only fares, onboard credits up to $400 per stateroom, 50% reduced deposits, and free third and fourth kids when traveling in the same stateroom.

In addition, the anniversary sale is combinable with HAL’s “Have it All” premium fare, which offers four high-value amenities: shore excursions, a Signature Beverage Package, specialty dining, and a Wi-Fi Surf Package.
