Holland America Line appears to be cranking up its special offers to drive business, inviting its guests to “return to their happy place” with the ultimate “View & Verandah” upgrade event that includes six what they call “bonus perks”.

The “bonus perks” deals include that guests who book a 2021 or 2022 Holland America Line cruise from December 10, 2020, to February 28, 2021, will receive a “BIG” stateroom upgrade, Signature Beverage Package, bonus one-night specialty dining, a discount off all shore excursions, reduced deposits and reduced fares for kids.

As an added bonus, guests who book by 5 January 2021, will receive all six of the incentives plus free gratuities, with “View & Verandah” applying to the first and second guests in a stateroom, and it includes most of Holland America Line’s global itineraries and the cruise portion of an Alaska Land+Sea Journey.

Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line said,“After most of us spending more time at home this year, the 2021-22 Wave Season for the cruise industry will be even more important to travellers than ever before,” adding, “Plus, it’s just like a multi-week Black Friday sale where we share fantastic offers that make booking a cruise an incredible value.”

He said, “If you’re like a lot of people and ready to get out and travel, you can’t beat six great perks and a free gratuity bonus to explore Australia and New Zealand when Oosterdam returns to local shores next November.”

As part of the “View & Verandah” offer, guests can book an ocean-view stateroom for the price of an interior and a verandah for the price of an ocean-view, with cruisers also receiving a Signature Beverage Package and an evening at the Pinnacle Grill or Tamarind specialty restaurants and guests who reserve select shore excursions prior to embarkation can take advantage of savings if booked by 14 March 2021 and a reduced deposit making it more affordable to plan a Holland America Line cruise, while reduced fares for kids apply to the third and fourth guests in the same stateroom.

Cruise destinations featured in the “View & Verandah” sale include Alaska cruises and Land+Sea Journeys, Asia, Australia/New Zealand, Canada and New England, the Caribbean, Europe, Hawaii, Mexico, Pacific Coast, Panama Canal and South America, as well as holiday sailings through 2022.
