All too often we find ourselves working too many hours, kids are in school, sports, activities and everyday life just gets in the way. There isn’t always a lot of time to spend together with family … near and far. A cruise is the perfect multi-generational vacation. During the day, there’s an abundance of activities for everyone in the family — from ClubHAL for our junior cruisers to the spa, EXC Talks and Port-to-Table cooking demonstrations for the adults. Even our shore excursions cater to every level of comfort – whether it’s a city bus tour or ziplining through the jungle. The beauty is, even if everyone does their own thing during the day, each evening the family can come together at dinner and share their daily adventures.

5. LEARN SOMETHING NEW

We travel to learn about new cultures, meet new people and have a greater understanding of the world around us. On a Holland America Line cruise, we seek to enrich our guests both on board and ashore. Through EXC Talks, you can get an insider’s perspective to the places you’re visiting. In select regions, EXC Talks feature multimedia presentations that bring each destination to life with captivating storytelling and expert commentary. Through EXC Culture, guests can start their immersion in a destination’s culture and history before going ashore, with help from local experts, artists and performers. Once ashore, our thousands of shore excursions have experiences that connect our guests to the places we’re exploring from a local level, including our tours in partnership with FOOD & WINE that show the culinary side of destinations in some very special ways, combining food and culture with entertaining and unique experiences.

So tell us, which of your New Year’s resolutions can be fulfilled on a Holland America Line cruise? Happy and healthy 2021 to all of our fans.
