What are the benefits of booking my next cruise on board?
Booking your next cruise while on board with Holland America Line gives you access to exclusive onboard-only benefits, including up to US$400 per person in shipboard credit, a reduced deposit, double onboard spending credit opportunities, and priority access to stateroom availability — all at the best available rates.
Quick look: onboard cruise booking benefits
When you book a future Holland America Line cruise on board, you may receive:
Up to US$400 per person in shipboard credit for your next cruise
Reduced deposit with no additional deposits due until final payment
Best available rates at the time of booking
Double onboard spending credit options when booking directly with the Future Cruise Consultant (where offered)
Immediate access to real-time availability across all sailings
The ability to reserve your preferred stateroom or suite and dining preferences early
These onboard booking benefits are designed to help you plan ahead while maximizing value.
Reduced deposit details, with flexibility built in
Because timing matters, your onboard reduced deposit is designed to keep planning comfortable. If you add Holland America Line’s Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP), that payment is due when you make the initial deposit. If you cancel and your reduced deposit is eligible to be applied to another Holland America Line cruise, it can be used toward a new reservation within the next four years, although bookings inside the published penalty period are subject to cancellation penalties.
Double onboard spending credit, and help that feels personal
Keep the “where to next?” feeling and turn it into a plan. Choose an FCD if you want flexibility, or book on board with the Future Cruise Consultant if you are ready to select an itinerary and maximize eligible onboard spending credit. Consultants can also share the latest sales and promotions, and can even help coordinate plans for family and friends.
Travel advisor credit stays intact
Booking can be credited to (and finalized by) your preferred travel advisor, and Holland America Line will credit advisors for onboard bookings. Holland America Line will also honor qualifying pricing or amenities your travel advisor adds alongside the onboard offer.
