Reduced Fare Cruise Certificate Program

Through our Online Donation & Sponsorship Requests portal, we are pleased to offer a limited number of cruise certificates at a significantly reduced cost to nonprofit organizations in support of their fundraising events. A Holland America Line cruise is a valuable item that offers auction guests or raffle ticket buyers the opportunity to experience a relaxing cruise while supporting your charitable mission.

If approved, your organization will be offered the option to purchase one of the following reduced-fare cruise certificates for a minimum Ocean-view cabin for two guests:

• Option A: Any Caribbean or Mexico cruise for two of up to 7 days at a reduced rate of $700, no expiration date; some restrictions apply (standard prices range from $829 – $1,529 per person).
• Option B: Any cruise for two of up to 7 days to Alaska, the Caribbean, Mexico or Canada/New England at a reduced rate of $1,000, no expiration date; some restrictions apply (standard prices range from about $829 – $1,539 per person).

Please note, brochure prices vary depending on destination and time of travel.

Requesting nonprofits must meet the following minimum qualifications:

• The organization must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization or non-US equivalent.
• The organization must support environmental, maritime, health and human services, or arts and culture causes.
• Limit one certificate per year: Each organization may receive only one reduced-fare cruise certificate per calendar year; additional requests will not be approved.

The following organizations and events are not eligible for a reduced-fare cruise certificate:

• Schools, colleges, and universities
• Religious organizations
• Golf tournaments

If your organization meets the above criteria, please visit the Holland America Line Online Donation & Sponsorship Requests portal to submit your request. To allow time for processing, your request must be made at least 90 days in advance of your event/drawing, and we encourage even earlier submissions. All inquiries will receive a response.

Due to the large number of requests we receive, we regret that we are unable to fulfill all requests. Also, nonprofits must re-apply each year and may not be approved every year, even if they have received a certificate in the past.

Thank you for your interest in Holland America Line’s giving programs.
