Holland America Line has opened early access to its Black Friday sale, offering discounts on more than 800 cruises departing from December 2026 through spring 2029.

Travelers who sign up at HollandAmerica.com can receive a code to access the presale, which runs November 11-17. The sale opens to the general public November 18 and runs through November 29.

The promotion includes up to 30% off cruise fares, free prepaid crew appreciation for the first and second guests in a stateroom, and free or reduced fares for third and fourth guests sharing the same stateroom. The free prepaid crew appreciation can save travelers more than $180 per person, depending on the stateroom category and cruise length. Once the sale opens to the public, travelers also will receive 50% reduced deposits.

The offers apply to sailings across Holland America Line's global destinations, including Alaska, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the Caribbean, Canada and New England, Hawaii, Mexico, South America and Antarctica. Select Legendary Voyages, which range from 25 to 59 days, and back-to-back Collectors Voyages also are included.

The promotion also covers Alaska cruises and Cruisetours, which combine an Alaska sailing with an inland experience at Denali National Park. The cruise line is marking 80 years of Alaska exploration and plans to debut enhancements at Holland America Denali Lodge next summer.

Travelers can combine the Black Friday offers with Holland America Line's Have It All premium fare, which includes shore excursions, specialty dining, Wi-Fi and a beverage package.

The sale excludes Grand Voyages and 2028 Alaska Cruisetours. Taxes and fees are included in the advertised cruise fares.
