River Cruise Newsletter

Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

Today, I'll highlight Holland America Line, an oceangoing cruise line that I think will appeal to many of our river cruise customers. Holland America has more than 140 years of maritime tradition and offers a classic cruising style in destinations around the world.

You can explore charming cities and towns along the Mediterranean coast or Old World capitals in Northern Europe. Marvel at the glaciers of Alaska or sail to the warm waters and inviting beaches of the Caribbean. Asia itineraries depart from dazzling locales such as Hong Kong and Shanghai, while Panama Canal trips are offered as round-trip partial transits from Fort Lauderdale or as one-way complete transits between Florida and California.

Here's a great money-saving offer from Holland America for our customers: Save up to 85% and receive shipboard credits of up to $250 per cabin on a variety of sailings. Shipboard credits are as good as cash on the ship and can be used toward onboard purchases not covered in the cruise fare, such as shore excursions and spa treatments. Past guests may see better rates on select sailings. Book by July 31. See dates and prices.

Fourteen elegant ships currently sail for the line, carrying 835 to 2,650 passengers. A 15th vessel, the Nieuw Statendam, will launch in late 2018. All sport the line's signature navy blue hull and teak wraparound decks. They provide a high level of personal service, multiple restaurants and a variety of onboard programs that you can take advantage of as you cruise from port to port.

Holland America's restaurants include Canaletto for Italian cuisine, the intimate Pinnacle Grill for dishes inspired by the Pacific Northwest and the poolside Dive-In at Terrace Grill for burgers and a taco bar. There's also 24-hour room service.

Cooking demonstrations and hands-on workshops are presented in the Culinary Arts Center, while the line's partnership with BBC Earth brings nature-based programs onto its vessels. Club HAL schedules supervised, age-appropriate activities for kids ages 3 to 7, 8 to 12 and 13 to 17. The Greenhouse Spa provides pampering treatments and a fitness center.

The line offers a broad array of shore excursions. Its Medallion Collection provides in-depth access to the destination -- spend time at a family farm in the Irish countryside during a Dublin port call, for example. The World Wonders Collection showcases attractions both natural and man-made, like Waimea Canyon in Kauai or the Great Wall in China. The Encore Collection goes beyond the well-known sights and offers unique activities, like a bike ride through Barcelona.
