WE WERE BORN
TO VOYAGE
For nearly 145 years, we’ve been introducing guests to new places and
new cultures, and we’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of travel.
We’ve seen how it opens minds, builds connections and fosters an appreciation
of the values that unite us the world over.
That’s why I am so excited about the newest dimension of our destination
experience, Explorations Central™ (EXC™). EXC offers indispensable insights
and tips from location experts, interactive activities and cultural encounters
that make your journey more engaging, vivid and meaningful.
We’ve also joined forces with America’s Test Kitchen and O, The Oprah
Magazine to bring amazing opportunities for learning and personal growth
on board. These — in addition to other exclusive entertainment including Lincoln
Center Stage, B.B. King’s Blues Club, Billboard Onboard and BBC Earth
Experiences — are all designed to enhance your cruise in remarkable ways.
Other highlights for 2018–19:
• The launch of our newest Pinnacle-class ship, ms Nieuw Statendam
(and another to come in 2021 — stay tuned!)
• The completion of our $300 million onboard enhancements
• Unrivalled global reach, with itineraries spanning all seven continents
Of course, the hallmarks of a Holland America Line cruise are as appealing as
ever, from the timeless elegance of our classic, mid-sized ships to our superb dining
and world-class entertainment to the gracious service of our award-winning crew.
We invite you to join us for an unforgettable experience. Because travel is more
than an itinerary. It has the power to change us and our world. Journey by journey.
Sincerely,
Orlando Ashford
President
