Holland America

What Holland America is like

Traditional mid-size-ship cruising with live-music lounges, smart-casual evenings and extensive Alaska programs, suited to travelers who prefer a calmer pace to late-night nightlife.

Deep Alaska program

Alaska options include cruisetours that pair sailing with land stays, including the line's Denali Lodge. (Alaska itineraries)

Live-music lounges

Venues include B.B. King's Blues Club, Rolling Stone Lounge and Billboard Onboard, though entertainment varies by ship. (Varies by ship and itinerary)

Mid-size, class-dependent fleet

Ships run from Pinnacle class to R-class ships carrying about 35% fewer guests, so facilities differ by class.

Check before booking

• A 20% service charge applies to drinks and specialty dining, so compare the Have It All bundle against paying separately.
• Kids Club ages 3–6 require full toilet training, and diapered children can't use pools; check before booking with toddlers.
