Discover the Timeless Elegance of Holland America Line
What Sets Holland America Apart?
With a history spanning over 140 years, Holland America Line has been serving the travel needs of the Dutch, offering beautiful decor and lavish service on ships like the SS Rotterdam, now a floating hotel in the city of Rotterdam.
Our crew, primarily from Indonesia and the Philippines, are known for their high service ethic. This is a result of Holland’s long trading history with Indonesia and the US’s relationship with the Philippines. Interestingly, most bartenders are from the Philippines as Indonesian people do not drink or serve alcohol.
Our Stateroom Direct Service program simplifies the boarding process by providing immediate access to staterooms upon embarkation. With staterooms ready as early as 11:30 a.m., guests can settle in, unpack, and enjoy lunch at their leisure in our full-service Lido restaurant.
Our staterooms are generously sized, on average about 25% larger than those on other cruise lines. We also offer game-changing entertainment, including the BB King Blues Club, Billboard Onboard, Lincoln Center Stage, and LED Shows. Our intimate public spaces, such as the Silk Den, Pinnacle Wine Bar, Explorer’s Lounge, and well-stocked New York Times-branded library, make our larger ships feel more like home.
Is Holland America the Perfect Choice for You?
Holland America Line caters to affluent adults with midsize ships that carry between 835 and 2,648 guests. Our nearly 2-to-1 passenger-to-crew ratio ensures high-quality service. However, if you’re seeking sporty recreation or a constant party, Holland America may not be for you. While we offer a range of activities, our cruises are more geared towards relaxation and cultural enrichment.
