Holidays Aboard Holland America Line

[su_quote]I’d rather have a passport full of stamps than a house full of stuff.[/su_quote]

If our stockings were filled with tickets, rather than boxes with clothes we’d never complain! If you’ve ever wondered what you can expect during a holiday cruise with Holland America Line, let us fill you in!

Long time cruisers know that ships love to celebrate the holidays, but you might be surprised to find out just how much they do to make your vacation extra special without spending a moment in the kitchen or setting up for house guests.

FESTIVE FEATURES ONBOARD

Our friends from Holland America Line provided us with a few of the many treats they have in story for the 2015 and 2016 Holiday Sailings.

Holiday themed crafts for the kids
A visit from Santa
