Celebrate Mother’s Day with a Mom-Themed Cocktail
Sunday is Mother’s Day in various countries around the world, and moms across the globe will be celebrating. Onboard Holland America Line‘s 15 ships, we like to toast to all of the cruising moms with specialty cocktails created just for the occasion.
Here are the recipes for some of the mom-themed drinks that will be served onboard. You can make them at home and make mom feel like she’s been whisked away to one of ship’s glamorous bars and lounges. And if you haven’t gotten mom that perfect present just yet, how about giving her the gift of a Holland America Line cruise? From Alaska to Australia and everywhere in-between, booking mom on the dream cruise of a lifetime is the perfect way to say “thanks for being a great mom!” If you book by Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 11, in select markets you’ll even receive a complimentary photo and chocolate-covered strawberries onboard. Check your local Holland America Line website to see if you’re eligible for the offer.
