Founded in 1873, Holland America is one of the great names in transatlantic shipping and one of the few that made successful transition to vacation cruising. It offers a moderately priced, classic, and casual yet refined cruise experience.
While Holland America's fleet cruises worldwide, it maintains a very strong presence in Alaska, doing a very professional job of both shore tours and pre- and post-cruise land excursions.
The Holland America Experience
White glove service, formal tea and dining to the gentle sounds of a string ensemble or piano are as much a part of the Holland America experience today as they were a century ago. These ships attract people who love low-key, refined service.HAL’s experienced crew is the company’s biggest asset, attracting a large number of repeat passengers who love the warm, gracious service they deliver. Other impressive touches include larger cabins and the company’s ‘no tipping required’ policy.
Passenger Profile
Holland America has a loyal following of repeat clients and primarily caters to passengers aged 55+, although more families and younger people are now being attracted to what is a class act.
Children’s Programs
’Club HAL’ caters to Kids aged from 5 to 17. Depending on the number of children onboard a full day of events is scheduled for each group. Children's menus are available in the dining room. In-cabin babysitting is usually available.
