Holland America Line has announced a new offer that allows kids ages 5 to 17 to sail for free as the third and fourth passengers in a stateroom.
The offer is valid for select sailings departing through May 31, 2022. The cruise line’s ships are already exploring the Caribbean and Mexico, along with the California coast. Come spring, families can also cruise to Europe, Canada and New England, or Alaska through May with the offer.
“Now that kids ages 5 and older can receive the COVID-19 vaccine, getting out and seeing the world is on everyone’s mind,” said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line. “A multigenerational cruise is the perfect way to return to travel, and we can’t wait to welcome our junior guests and feel the excitement as everyone is able to explore the world together again.”
To include this offer, bookings must be made by November 18, 2021.
On board, kids, tweens, and teens ages 5 to 17 can enjoy Holland America’s youth activities program, Club HAL. Young cruisers can meet other kids their age and enjoy arts and crafts, sports, video game competitions, scavenger hunts, team games, themed parties, and more.
