Holland America Line has launched a new offer which allows for children of ages 5 to 17 sailing as the third and fourth guests in the same stateroom to cruise for free, available for select holiday sailings and cruises through spring 2022.

The cruise line will be sailing through the Caribbean and Mexico through the holidays and until spring. In MAY 2022, families also can cruise to Europe, Canada/New England or Alaska with the same offer. The news comes as the U.S. CDC approves vaccinations for kids aged 5 to 11.

“Now that kids ages 5 and older can receive the COVID-19 vaccine, getting out and seeing the world is on everyone’s mind,” said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line.

“A multigenerational cruise is the perfect way to return to travel, and we can’t wait to welcome our junior guests and feel the excitement as everyone is able to explore the world together again.”

‘Kids Cruise Free’ on Select Departures through 31MAY 2022

The offer is good on select sailings through 31MAY 2022 for bookings made by 18NOV 2021.

Ships in the Caribbean include Pinnacle-Class Rotterdam and Nieuw Statendam, along with Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam.

Koningsdam and Zuiderdam are on the West Coast exploring Mexico, Hawaii and the California coast, as well as Panama Canal transits.

In late spring, Eurodam, Koningsdam and Zuiderdam will be in Alaska; Nieuw Statendam and Rotterdam head to Europe; and Zaandam will be cruising in Canada/New England.

Alaska Highlights for All Ages

Holland America Line highlights experiences in Alaska available for passengers of all ages, including dog sledding on a glacier, panning for gold, a lumberjack show, whale watching, heading out on a leisure tour aboard a Bering Sea crabbing boat and more. On board, younger guests can earn their Junior Ranger Badge from the Glacier Bay National Park Ranger.

Club HAL Entertains the Kids

On board, guests of ages 5 to 17 can enjoy Club HAL, Holland America Line’s supervised youth activities program. Younger cruisers can meet other kids their age for arts and crafts, sports, video game competitions, scavenger hunts, challenging team games, themed parties and more.

Holland America Line is currently operating vaccinated cruises, as defined by the CDC, through 28FEB 2022, and children 5 years and older will be eligible to sail. These cruises are available for guests who have received their final dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days prior to the beginning of the cruise and have proof of vaccination. Additionally, fully vaccinated guests must produce a negative viral COVID-19 test (medically supervised PCR or antigen test) taken within two days of embarkation on all Holland America Line sailings.
