SEATTLE, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For 153 years, Holland America Line has perfected the art of leisurely travel, inviting guests to connect to the world and each other. This April, the brand celebrates with a monthlong Anniversary Sale featuring fare discounts, onboard credits, reduced deposits, and free fares for kids. Running from April 2–30, 2026, the Anniversary Sale includes departures from April 2026 through spring 2027, with cruises ranging from four to 69 days.

The promotion features up to 30% off cruise-only fares, onboard credits up to $400 per stateroom, 50% reduced deposits, and free third and fourth kids when traveling in the same stateroom—making it the perfect time to book a cruise vacation.

"Celebrating 153 years of ocean exploration is about honoring the guests who have traveled the world with us," said Beth Bodensteiner, president of Holland America Line. "The Anniversary Sale is both a thank you to our loyal guests and an invitation to new travelers to experience our thoughtfully designed itineraries, immersive destination experiences and exceptional service—all with added value and special savings."

Sailings across all Holland America Line regions are part of the offer: Alaska cruises and Cruisetours, Caribbean, Canada/New England, Northern Europe, Mediterranean, Australia/New Zealand, South America/Antarctica, the Pacific Coast, Hawaii, Tahiti, Panama Canal, Mexico and Asia. Collectors' Voyages, which combine two back-to-back, non-repeating itineraries, also are included in the sale.

Anniversary Sale Combines with 'Have It All' Premium Fare
The Anniversary Sale is combinable with Holland America Line's popular "Have it All" premium fare. When booking with Have It All, in addition to the Anniversary Sale fare discounts, onboard credit, free third and fourth kids, and reduced deposits, guests also receive four high-value amenities: shore excursions, a Signature Beverage Package, specialty dining and a Wi-Fi Surf Package.

Onboard Credit Good for Dining, Shore Excursions and More
Guests who book an Anniversary Sale cruise receive up to $400 per stateroom onboard credit (depending on stateroom category and length of cruise). The credit can be used for a variety of amenities, including specialty dining, spa services, shore excursions, gift shop purchases, beverages, photography and more. 

Free Third or Fourth Kids on Select Cruises
Whether it's exploring the glaciers of Alaska or soaking up the sun in the Caribbean on a multigenerational family cruise, third and fourth guests ages 18 and under can cruise for free on select departures when traveling in the same stateroom. This makes a family getaway even more affordable.
