Holland America Line
150 years of sailing. Music Walk, Culinary Council, and the definitive Alaska fleet.
A Century and a Half on the Water
Holland America has been sailing since 1873. That kind of tenure doesn’t happen by accident — it happens through a relentless commitment to getting the fundamentals right. Mid-sized ships that feel spacious, not overcrowded. A Culinary Council of world-class chefs shaping menus across five specialty restaurants. And a live music program, Music Walk, that’s genuinely worth clearing your evening for. They’re currently running up to 50% off select sailings through their “Save on Sunshine” promotion.
Music Walk and BBC Earth
Music Walk is the fleet’s signature: Lincoln Center Stage for chamber music, B.B. King’s Blues Club for soul and Motown, Billboard Onboard for crowd-sourced hits, and Rolling Stone Rock Room for rock and roll — all without a cover charge. The BBC Earth Experiences partnership turns the World Stage into a planetarium with immersive nature films paired with live orchestral accompaniment. No other cruise line invests this heavily in onboard entertainment that isn’t a casino.
The Alaska Authority
Alaska is where Holland America truly owns the category. They’ve been sailing there since before it was a state. Four consecutive years of Cruise Critic’s Best Service award and a Newsweek “America’s Most Loved Brands” distinction — the only cruise line to earn it — validate what their repeat guests already know. The Have It All package bundles shore excursions, beverage package, specialty dining, and Wi-Fi at roughly half the a la carte cost.
Destinations & Experiences
Beyond Alaska, Holland America runs 500+ itineraries across the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Iceland, and the Danube via their river cruise partnerships. Their mid-sized ships are perfectly suited for luxury ocean cruising — big enough for genuine variety, small enough to feel personal. For food-focused travelers, pair a Holland America sailing with one of our culinary journey itineraries.
