Holland America Line won eight (four gold and four silver) Travel Weekly Magellan Awards in the latest rankings by the influential news resource for the travel industry.

The Magellan Awards honor a broad range of industry segments, including hotels and resorts, travel destinations, cruise lines, online travel services, airlines and airports, travel agents/agencies, tour operators and car rental companies. In determining winners, entries do not compete with one another. Instead, they are judged by a panel against a standard of excellence so a category may have multiple winners or no winners at all.

HAL received gold honors in the following categories:

Eco-Friendly “Green” Cruise Ship – The Holland America Fleet
Premium Ship – ms Eurodam
Direct Mail Cruise Marketing – HAL Cruise Catalog
Web Marketing/Advertising – Social Media Sweepstakes

HAL earned silver awards for:

Suite Design – Pinnacle Suite
Entertainment – Dancing with the Stars: At Sea
Restaurant Design – Taste of De Librije
Advertising/Marketing Campaign (up to five pieces) – HAL Exquisite Discovery
