Guests can receive two free shore excursions in select ports and up to $500 to spend on board
Holland America Line is launching two new promotions
that sweeten the deal for travelers who book select 2016 and 2017 cruises by Feb. 29, 2016. Just
added to the line's robust perks in its "View and Verandah" promotion is an onboard spending credit
applicable to more than 400 cruises. Also new is the opportunity for guests to receive two free shore
excursions on cruises calling at select ports in Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South America.
"This is the time of year when travelers are planning their next vacation, and we wanted to add
some additional incentives to put a Holland America Line dream cruise at the top of their list," said
Orlando Ashford, Holland America Line's president. "And expanding View and Verandah with an
onboard spending credit makes the promotion even more incredible, so we encourage everyone to
book before the February 29 deadline."
Guests who cruise on ms Noordam or ms Maasdam in Australia and New Zealand on select
departures between September 2016 and March 2017 can select two free shore excursions
from Holland America Line's extensive offerings when the itinerary visits Melbourne, Australia;
or Auckland, Picton or Wellington, New Zealand.
In Asia, guests who cruise on select voyages from October 2016 through April 2017 aboard
ms Volendam receive two free tours when calling at Kagoshima, Japan; Halong Bay, Vietnam;
Jeju City, South Korea; or Nathon, Ko Samui, Thailand.
On select South America cruises from October 2016 through March 2017 aboard ms Zaandam,
guests receive two complimentary tours when calling at Puerto Montt, Chile, and Montevideo, Uruguay.
'View and Verandah' Promotion Adds Onboard Spending CreditHolland America Line also is now including an onboard spending credit to the popular "View and
Verandah" promotion on select sailings. Guests who book select voyages by Feb. 29 receive an
onboard spending credit of up to $500 per stateroom, in addition to stateroom upgrades, shore
excursion discounts and Collectors' Voyages savings.
On select cruises, guests will receive up to $300 per stateroom on cruises that are seven to nine
days, up to $400 on 10- to 14-day cruises, and up to $500 on cruises 15 days or longer.
In addition to the onboard credit, depending on departure and ship, guests who book an inside
stateroom will be upgraded to an outside stateroom, and those booking an ocean-view stateroom
will upgrade to a verandah — a value of up to $1,000 per stateroom. Deposits also have been
lowered to as little as $100 to reserve a stateroom on cruises up to 21 days.
Select Collectors' Voyages also are eligible for up to 25 percent off — a savings of as much as $3,198
per stateroom — under the View and Verandah promotion. Collectors' Voyages combine back-to-back
cruises to form a nonrepeating longer itinerary that provides a more in-depth exploration of a region.
Guests who reserve select shore excursions prior to cruising can take advantage of up to 10 percent
savings if booked by March 15, 2016. This date is extended beyond the View and Verandah
deadline. More than 1,500 tours will feature the savings.
