Premium Cruising, Perfected Over a Century
Founded in 1873, Holland America Line is one of the most storied names in ocean travel. With a fleet of elegant mid-sized ships carrying between 1,000 and 2,700 guests, Holland America strikes the ideal balance between spacious comfort and an intimate, refined atmosphere.
Our advisors who have sailed Holland America consistently praise the enriching itineraries, award-winning cuisine, and gracious service. It is a line we love recommending to experienced travelers who appreciate classic sophistication without pretension.

Award-Winning Culinary Excellence

The Culinary Council Sets the Standard
Our advisors who have dined their way through Holland America’s menus can tell you firsthand: the food here punches well above its weight class. The Culinary Council – a hand-selected team of world-renowned chefs led by Master Chef Rudi Sodamin – shapes every dish across the fleet.
What sets it apart is the range. You can go from an elegant multi-course dinner in The Dining Room to a seared wagyu steak at Pinnacle Grill, then try something completely different at Tamarind or Rudi’s Sel de Mer the next evening. It is consistently among the best dining we have experienced at sea.
Music Walk – Live Entertainment at Sea
If you love live music, Holland America’s Music Walk will be a highlight of your voyage. We have spent many evenings here, and the quality rivals what you would find at top land-based venues.
Lincoln Center Stage features accomplished chamber musicians performing in an intimate setting that feels worlds away from a cruise ship. B.B. King’s Blues Club is the opposite energy – the All Stars band gets the whole room on its feet with electrifying blues and rock sets. On select ships, Billboard Onboard and Rolling Stone Rock Room round out the lineup with chart-topping hits and classic rock.
The best part? Every venue is included in your cruise fare. No cover charges, no reservations needed.


Enriching Destinations Around the World
Having sailed Holland America to destinations around the world, our team knows that what sets them apart is how deeply they connect you with each port. Their EXC (Explorations Central) program goes beyond typical shore excursions – think onboard expert talks that prepare you for what you will see, curated port guides for independent exploring, and immersive tours that get you into the heart of local culture.
With over 400 ports across all seven continents, they are especially strong in Alaska (where they have sailed for over 75 years), the Mediterranean, and Northern Europe. And for the truly adventurous, their extended Grand Voyages are bucket-list sailings our advisors love helping guests plan.
