The Choose Cruise Month offer also can be combined with the Explore4 promotion to receive greater benefits that include complimentary beverages and specialty dining, reduced deposits and free or reduced fares for third and fourth guests in a stateroom. With Explore4, suite bookings also receive additional onboard spending money.

The whole month of October

The Choose Cruise offer applies to select sailings from fall 2018 through spring 2020.

"The Choose Cruise initiative throughout the month of October puts a spotlight on cruising with the aim of educating consumers on the incredible ship and destination options that cruising offers, while remaining the best vacation value there is," said Orlando Ashford, president of Holland America Line. "Combining the extra onboard spending money with our Explore4 promotion makes October the ideal time to make a Holland America Line booking, whether it's for the first time or you're a seasoned cruiser."
