Holland America Line celebrates 153 years of research with special ‘anniversary sale’ | News

For 153 years, Holland America Line has been perfecting the art of relaxing travel and inviting guests to connect with the world and each other. In April, the brand will celebrate with a month-long anniversary sale, featuring fare discounts, onboard credits, reduced deposits and free fares for children. The anniversary sale runs from April 2 to 30, 2026 and includes departures from April 2026 through spring 2027, with cruises ranging from four to 69 days.
The promotion offers up to 30% off cruise-only fares, onboard credits of up to $400 per stateroom, 50% lower deposits and free third and fourth children when traveling in the same stateroom – making now the perfect time to book a cruise vacation.
“Celebrating 153 years of ocean exploration is about honoring the guests who have traveled 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 travelers to experience our carefully designed itineraries, immersive destination experiences and exceptional service – all with added value and special savings.”
Sailings through all Holland America Line regions are included: Alaska Cruises and Cruise Tours, the Caribbean, Canada/New England, Northern Europe, Mediterranean, Australia/New Zealand, South America/Antarctica, the Pacific Coast, Hawaii, Tahiti, Panama Canal, Mexico and Asia. Collectors’ Voyages, which combine two consecutive, non-repeating itineraries, are also included in the sale.
Anniversary sale combined with ‘Have It All’ premium rate
The anniversary sale can be combined with Holland America Line’s popular ‘Have it All’ premium fare. When you book with Have It All, in addition to the Anniversary Sale fare discounts, onboard credit, free third and fourth children and reduced deposits, guests also receive four premium amenities: shore excursions, a signature beverage package, specialty dining and a Wi-Fi Surf Package.
Onboard Credit Good for dining, shore excursions and more
Guests booking an Anniversary Sale cruise will receive up to $400 per cabin credit on board (depending on cabin category and cruise duration). The credit can be used for a variety of amenities, including specialty dining, spa services, shore excursions, gift shop purchases, beverages, photography and more.
Free third or fourth child on select cruises
Whether exploring the glaciers of Alaska or soaking up the sun in the Caribbean on a multi-generational family cruise, third and fourth guests aged 18 and under can cruise for free on select sailings when traveling in the same stateroom. This makes a family outing even more affordable.
