There’s no better drink to ring in the New Year than a nice flute of bubbly.

But on Holland America Line, in addition to a simple glass of the liquid gold guests can find a menu of Champagne cocktails and drinks accented with the libation. In Mix, the Champagne area serves a variety of options for mid-day mimosas or anytime celebrations.
