We’re Teaming Up with Audible on Our New Book Club

Audiobook lovers rejoice! Whether you’re on a Holland America Line cruise, or dreaming of your next cruise getaway, here’s something you may have in common with guests beyond cruising the seas: finding joy in a great story. That’s why we’re teaming up with Audible – a leading creator and provider of premium audio storytelling – to launch a book club, helping guests immerse themselves in incredible stories on board and ashore.

We’re the first cruise line to offer a co-branded book club with Audible, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this storytelling adventure with you. Get ready to enjoy stories from celebrated authors across genres – including curated destination-focused collections – through an extended Audible free trial and free in-stateroom Audible content available to all guests when you cruise. Want to explore mysteries, thrillers and fantastic tales? How about stories set in breathtaking destinations? Interested in learning a language or two? As an Audible subscriber your wanderlust will delight in audiobooks about travel, well-being and more from your personal device.

Join Our Book Club

You can sign up for a two-month extended free trial of Audible Premium Plus, the service’s top-tier subscription, and also gain access to its entire catalogue of audiobooks. Every month we’ll select an audiobook or Audible Original title focusing on topics like travel, literature, science fiction, romance and mystery. Audiobook selections will be announced on our social channels. Kicking off Holland America Line’s first Audible Book Club is The Justice, an eight-part Audible Original thriller from bestselling author James Patterson.

New subscribers can also visit audible.com/ep/holland-country-selector* to find additional audiobook recommendations that align to the destinations we cruise to. Just comb through online carousels featuring curated collections by destinations. Themes are inclusive of titles across different genres that focus on many of the regions we cruise to, including Alaska, Europe, Canada, Asia, and the Caribbean.

Holland America Line’s exclusive opportunity with Audible is available in five countries, including the United States, Canada, The Netherlands, United Kingdom and Australia, and you don’t need to cruise to sign up for the free Audible trial.

Enjoy Complimentary Onboard In-Stateroom Entertainment

When you’re on board, check out the variety of Audible categories through your in-stateroom entertainment system, including well-being and family-friendly content. If you’re looking for meditation sounds, soundtracks with a soothing vibe, or lessons in Dutch, French, Spanish, and Japanese, you can find those, too. No matter what you choose, when you’re cruising with us, you can embark on your own audiobook adventure without an Audible subscription.
