Yes, kids and extra guests beyond the first and second guest in the same stateroom may qualify for reduced cruise fares.
How kids’ and extra-guest cruise fares work
If you are booking more than two guests in one stateroom, Holland America Line often offers special pricing for additional guests. Fares vary by sailing date and stateroom category, and certain promotions may even reduce the additional-guest cruise fare to $0 (taxes, fees, and port expenses are still charged per person).
For current options, it can help to check available pricing during booking, and review any active offers for extra guests.
Savings for kids on board
On board, children 12 and under receive 50% off specialty dining restaurants, or they can choose from the kids’ menu for free, which is a small, cheerful win when everyone’s hungry at once.
Savings for kids on shore excursions
Many shore excursions also offer reduced pricing for kids, so you can plan those memory-making days ashore with a bit more breathing room in the overall trip total.
