As a bonus, cruisers who book by Jan. 31, 2023 will also receive up to US$400 per stateroom onboard credit, depending on the length of the cruise.

“Wave season features generous promotions to plan the next year’s travel, and we put ‘Time of Your Life’ together thinking about the benefits that are requested most often by our guests,” said Beth Bodensteiner, chief commercial officer of Holland America Line. “While travellers are making their vacation plans, we’re excited to get them thinking about the convenience and diversity of a cruise and entice them to book with ‘Time of Your Life’ when the value of cruising is at an all-time high.”
