Holland America launches ‘Explore with More’ offer

SEATTLE — Holland America Line has launched a new offer that includes credits for both air and shore excursions as well as kids cruise free.

Running from Oct. 13 to Nov. 15, 2023, the ‘Explore with More offer is available on Have it All cruise package fares for select departures from April through October 2024.

Through ‘Explore with More,’ guests receive a $500 air credit on European cruises, a $100 bonus shore excursion credit and kids cruising for free on select sailings to Alaska, Europe and Canada/New England. ‘Explore with More’ perks are in addition to the amenities of shore excursions, beverages, specialty dining and Wi-Fi that come with the ‘Have it All’ premium package.

“With travel continuing to gain momentum, we’re seeing more people planning their vacations farther out and looking to take advantage of offers like ‘Explore with More’ that add value,” said Beth Bodensteiner, Holland America Line’s chief commercial officer. “With ‘Kids Sail Free’ and an air credit for Europe, this is a great time to book a multigenerational family cruise.”

The ’Explore with More’ offer includes the following benefits:

  • Air Credit: The first and second guests in a stateroom receive a US$500 per person air credit on select 2024 Europe cruises. The offer is available on select flights when booked through Holland America Line’s Flight Ease program.
  • Bonus Shore Excursion Credit: An additional $100 per person shore excursion credit is combinable with the Have It All package, for a total of up to a $400 Shore Excursion credit.
  • Kids Cruise Free: When sailing as the third and fourth guests in the same stateroom, kids ages five to 18 years are eligible to travel free on select cruises (taxes, fees and port expenses are additional).
  • Shore Excursions (part of Have it All fares): Based on the length of the cruise, guests receive up to three tours valued at $100 each. Choose from among thousands of tours all over the world — from active adventures and immersive culinary experiences to historical explorations and cultural discoveries.
  • Signature Beverage Package (part of Have it All fares): Guests enjoy a large selection of wine, beer, spirits, cocktails, soda, water, coffee and more. Up to 15 drinks per day are allowed, and bar service charges are included.
  • Specialty Dining (part of Have it All fares): Depending on the ship and duration of the cruise, guests can indulge in Holland America Line’s award-winning specialty dining up to three nights. This includes the Pinnacle Grill steakhouse at sea, Tamarind for Asian cuisine, and Canaletto for authentic Italian cuisine.
  • Wi-Fi Surf Package (part of Have it All fares): Guests can stay connected while away from home with Holland America Line’s most popular Wi-Fi package.

‘Explore with More’ fares start at $869 per person, double occupancy, for Alaska seven-day cruises and include up to a $763 value per person with all added benefits. In Europe, fares begin at $1,499 per person, double occupancy, for a Mediterranean sailing and include the $763 per person in added benefits, and two guests receive an additional air credit of $500 each. With Kids Sail Free, a family of four could pay as little as $1,738 for a stateroom on a seven-day bucket-list Alaska cruise next season, and enjoy an added value totaling $1,586.

‘Explore with More’ benefits apply to the first and second guest in a stateroom. Taxes, fees and port expenses are additional. The offer is not valid on Grand Voyages or cruises of three days or less.
