Holland America marks 153 years with month-long Anniversary Sale

SEATTLE — Holland America Line is marking 153 years of ocean exploration with the launch of a month-long Anniversary Sale, offering a range of incentives including fare discounts, onboard credits, reduced deposits and free fares for children.

Running from April 2 to April 30, 2026, the promotion applies to sailings departing from April 2026 through spring 2027, with itineraries ranging from four to 69 days. The offer includes cruises across the line’s global network, spanning Alaska, the Caribbean, Canada and New England, Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, Australia and New Zealand, South America and Antarctica, the Pacific Coast, Hawaii, Tahiti, the Panama Canal, Mexico and Asia.

“Celebrating 153 years of ocean exploration is about honouring the guests who have travelled the world with us,” said Beth Bodensteiner, president of Holland America Line. “The Anniversary Sale is both a thank you to our loyal guests and an invitation to new travellers to experience our thoughtfully designed itineraries, immersive destination experiences and exceptional service – all with added value and special savings.”

The promotion features savings of up to 30% on cruise-only fares, onboard credits of up to US$400 per stateroom, and deposits reduced by 50%. Families can also benefit from free fares for third and fourth guests aged 18 and under when sharing a stateroom.
