Holland America opens early access to Black Friday savings on 800-plus cruises

Holland America Line has opened early access to its Black Friday sale, offering up to 30 per cent off cruise fares, free prepaid crew appreciation and free or reduced fares for third and fourth guests sharing a stateroom.

Travellers who sign up at HollandAmerica.com will receive a code to access the presale from Nov. 11–17. The sale opens to the public Nov. 18–29, when 50 per cent reduced deposits will also be available.

The promotion covers more than 800 cruises departing from December 2026 through spring 2029. According to the cruise line, prepaid crew appreciation can represent savings of more than $180 per person, depending on the stateroom category and cruise length.

“Black Friday is one of the best opportunities of the year for travelers to secure an unforgettable vacation at exceptional value, particularly for guests considering Alaska,” Dan Rough, vice-president of revenue management for Holland America Line, said.

“As we celebrate 80 years of exploring Alaska, this offer gives guests the chance to save on our award-winning cruises and Cruisetours, which combine an Alaska voyage with a deeper journey into Denali National Park.”

Rough also pointed to enhancements at Holland America Denali Lodge scheduled to debut next summer.

Combinable with Have It All

The Black Friday offers can be combined with Holland America’s Have It All premium fare, which includes shore excursions, specialty dining, Wi-Fi and a beverage package.

Eligible itineraries span the cruise line’s global destinations, including Alaska cruises and Cruisetours, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the Caribbean, Canada/New England, Hawaii, the Mediterranean, Mexico, northern Europe, the Pacific Coast, the Panama Canal, South America and Antarctica, and Tahiti.

The sale also includes voyages from the newly released year-round Europe collection, select Legendary Voyages lasting 25 to 59 days, and back-to-back Collectors’ Voyages.

Free or reduced fares for third and fourth guests apply to guests travelling in the same stateroom. Free prepaid crew appreciation applies only to the first and second guests.

Taxes and fees are included in all cruise fares. Grand Voyages and 2028 Alaska Cruisetours are excluded from the promotion.
