Answer: With very limited exceptions (such as our Panama Canal cruises), U.S. law prohibits a person from beginning their cruise in one U.S. port and ending it in a different U.S. port. For this reason, voyages originating and ending in the same U.S. port will not allow embarkation or disembarkation in an alternate U.S. port. If you do not adhere to the cruise itinerary and, as a result, violate this law, any resulting fines will be your responsibility. If the fine is assessed due to a flight delay, we will pay the fine if you were participating in our Flight Ease® program. Please note that this is a U.S. government regulation over which Holland America Line has no control.
