Holland America Line is celebrating the kick-off of its 150th Anniversary this month with an offer that includes popular perks and a sweepstakes where the grand prize winner can choose from among a selection of cruises up to 21 days.

From October 14 through November 15, guests who book 2023 and available 2024 cruises will receive up to a $150 onboard credit, a complimentary Alaska shore excursion and 50% reduced deposits. The offer is combinable with HAL's Have It All premium package that includes shore excursions, specialty dining, a beverage package and WiFi.

"We're heading into a celebratory year for Holland America Line with our 150th Anniversary, and these special promotions allow us to show our guests how much they are appreciated," said Beth Bodensteiner, chief commercial officer.

"Our offers are designed to add even more value to a cruise vacation, especially when combined with Have It All. We look forward to continuing to recognize our milestone year with more exciting promotions, events and activities."

150th Anniversary Offer Benefits

Onboard Credit: Depending on stateroom category, guests receive up to $150 onboard credit per person that can be used for a variety of amenities, including specialty dining, spa services, shore excursions, gift shop purchases and more.

Free Tour in Alaska: On all Alaska cruises from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, guests receive a complimentary shore excursion on the White Pass Summit Scenic Railroad, which is celebrating its 125-year anniversary next summer. Guests learn about the Klondike Gold Rush during the ride to the White Pass Summit along this narrow-gauge railroad that is an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. On Alaska cruises roundtrip from Seattle, guests receive a $100 onboard credit per person to put toward shore excursions.

50% Reduced Deposits: With reduced deposits, booking a future cruise is even more affordable. Guests can make a cruise reservation now by putting down half the required deposit and make payments as the departure date approaches.

The 150th Anniversary offer is combinable with Holland America Line's Have It All premium package that includes up to three shore excursions valued at $100 each, a Signature Beverage Package, up to three nights of specialty dining and a Wi-Fi Surf package.

Holland America Line's 150th Anniversary celebration continues with a sweepstakes that runs through March 31, 2023. Hopeful winners can visit HollandAmerica150.com to enter; no purchase is necessary. In April 2023, the cruise line will announce the lucky winner of a cruise for two in a Vista or Signature Suite who can choose from a variety of cruises to Europe, Alaska, Mexico, the Caribbean and beyond. Making the prize even more exceptional is that the winner can select a sailing ranging from seven to 21 days, with the potential of spending up to three weeks on board.

The sweepstakes is open to legal residents of Canada (excluding Quebec) and the United States who are 21 or older at the time of entry.
