Holland America Launches 150th Anniversary Offers, Sweepstakes Contest
Holland America Line (HAL) is kicking off the celebration of its upcoming 150th Anniversary year a few months early, launching a special promotion that includes popular cruising perks and a sweepstakes contest that will award one grand prize winner a free cruise vacation lasting up to 21 days.
Holland America is offering customers the opportunity to receive $150 in onboard credit, 50-percent reduced deposits and a complimentary shore excursion on Alaska voyages, when booking select 2023 and 2024 cruises from tomorrow through November 15, 2022.
The promotion is also combinable with HAL’s existing ‘Have It All’ premium package offer, which bundles a generous number of inclusions—shore excursions, specialty dining, beverages, and Wi-Fi—in one cruise fare at a savings of 50 percent or more, as compared to the cost of purchasing these amenities individually.
