Holland America Line

Tradition at Sea

For more than 130 years, Holland America Line ships have cruised the oceans of the world, carrying passengers to all seven continents.

Holland America Line cabins, which are more spacious than average, include ample room to hang the dinner jackets and long gowns or cocktail dresses that are de rigueur on formal nights.

Ships feature three dining venues: A main restaurant, an informal café that serves a variety of international fare, and an intimate gourmet grill that levies a surcharge.

Assigned seating and fixed dinner times in the main dining room assure that passengers will meet traveling companions, as the majority of tables seat eight or ten. There are some tables for two, but you will need to request one in advance through your travel agent to be guaranteed your preferred seating at dinner.

Newer Holland America Line Vista-class ships, such as the Noordam and Zuiderdam feature a spa with a hydrotherapy pool and well-equipped fitness area, extensive lounging areas, and a movie theater where the popcorn’s always hot and fresh.

Holland America Line ships cruise to more than 280 ports of call.

Passengers who select a Caribbean itinerary can visit Half Moon Cay, the line’s lovely private island. Swim in its warm turquoise waters, snorkel, tour the island in an open-air tram, rent a Hobie cat to sail, savor a burger or an ice-cream pop, or simply soak up the sun on powdery white sands.
