Holland America Line
Luxury Cruises with Holland America Line
With a proud, maritime tradition that dates back 140 years, Holland America Line specialises in mid-sized ships that explore the whole world in elegant style, often visiting off-the-beaten-track ports too small for their larger rivals to fit into.
Holland America Line has an art collection worth millions, of which is justifiably proud; beautiful pieces are displayed on each of the 15 ships and guests can download a virtual tour, explaining the provenance of each work. The line is also known for its fine food, both in the main dining rooms and the speciality restaurants, which offer Asian and Pacific Northwest cuisine. Each ship offers a Culinary Arts Center for state-of-the-art cookery demonstrations or classes, even featuring sessions for children.
Every ship also offers the chance to learn ballroom dancing, thanks to a partnership with the American TV series Dancing With The Stars (similar to Britain's much-loved Strictly). There are classes, workshops with the pros and dance contests on every voyage.
Although Holland America Line sails all over the world, it is particularly strong in Alaska and offers seamless cruise-and-stay holidays visiting the national parks and exploring by scenic railway, combined with cruises from a selection of departure points.
A new ship, the much-anticipated Koningsdam, joins the fleet in 2016 with an inaugural season in the Mediterranean.
