New Year, New You: How Cruise Travel Enriches Your Life
Cruising is ideal for the adventurous spirit, but it’s also good for the mind, body and soul. As we sail into 2024, consider making the new year the best one ever by seeing the world from your doorstep with Holland America Line. Here are some of the ways cruise travel can enrich your life.
Dive Into New Experiences
Whether you’re on board or ashore, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself into the culture of dreamy destinations around the world. First, experience local flavors and cuisine inspired by your destinations. Sample jerk chicken in the Caribbean, fresh salmon in Alaska, or authentic Mediterranean flavors in Greece. Our cuisine also goes beyond the plate with our new, first-of-its-kind Global Fresh Fish Program, offering more than 80 varieties of fresh fish sourced locally from across our worldwide network. With more fresh fish and ingredients native to the places we visit, our dining experiences tell the story of each region through its unique flavors.
Beyond the cuisine, our exclusive destination programming will help deepen your understanding of the places you visit before you go ashore. Presentations and opportunities to engage with experts and local insiders make exploring each destination more vivid and meaningful. When on shore, consider diving deeper into destinations with shore excursions, designed to highlight the best of each location based on your interests.

Start A New Self-Care Routine
If you want to focus on your health and wellbeing in 2024, we’ve got you covered. Our cruise ships have state-of-the-art fitness centers to support your cardio and strength-training efforts. Spectacular ocean views from our ships support self-care routines, too. Start your morning with Tai Chi, go for a walk outside around the decks, learn how to play pickleball or go for a swim.
Looking for some pampering? Head to the spa for a massage or facial, or enjoy some time in the Thermal Suite.
Another perk? All dining menus feature options that won’t break the calorie bank.

Nurture Your Spirit
Traveling is good for the spirit, whether it’s with family, friends, loved ones or going solo. Quality time away from the hustle of the everyday is a gift in and of itself. So is relaxing on vacation and taking the time to unplug.
Disconnect and recharge your mind while you’re on board. Take a break from electronic devices by reading a book, enjoying walks, meeting new people and trying new things. Doing so could leave you refreshed, recharged and ready to thrive through 2024.
