Holland America Line is celebrating 100 years of Caribbean cruising with a new promotion.
The cruise line’s Veendam II sailed from New York in February 1926, charting a course that would help define Caribbean cruising.
Holland America Line’s maiden Caribbean cruise was a ground-breaking 26-day itinerary that visited Havana, Cuba; Kingston, Jamaica; Colon/Cristóbal, Panama; Cartagena, Colombia; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Bermuda before returning to New York.
Now, in honor of this major milestone, the cruise line is offering up to 50 percent off fares and a $50 per guest onboard credit with free fares for kids (18 and under on select sailings).
The promotion runs now through February 9, and applies to select Caribbean sailings departing now through April 30.
“As we celebrate 100 years, we wanted to offer something both meaningful and memorable—$100 for 100 years, with added ways for guests to save,” says Beth Bodensteiner, president of Holland America Line. “It’s our way of honoring the milestone while inviting travelers to experience what sets us apart in the Caribbean: perfectly sized ships designed for guests to relax and connect, a premium onboard experience and time ashore at our private island RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay.”
