Book with the Have It All package and your clients get up to 30% off fares, free balcony upgrades, free kids' fares, and onboard credit, all locked in with just a $99 deposit. Whether you're dreaming of the Caribbean, Mexico, or Alaska's Inside Passage, Holland America is making it remarkably easy to say yes right now. Availability is capacity-controlled and the March 19 deadline is firm — this is the time to act.
Why Holland America Stands Out
Holland America occupies a sweet spot that's genuinely hard to find in cruising: a premium experience that doesn't take itself too seriously, with enough polish to feel special and enough warmth to feel relaxed. Their ships are mid-sized by modern standards — intimate enough that you actually learn your way around, large enough to offer serious dining, entertainment, and spa facilities. The culinary program is a particular standout, with the Pinnacle Grill, Canaletto, and Tamarind offering genuinely memorable meals rather than just an upsell. Then there's the destinations themselves — Holland America has long been the gold standard for Alaska, and their Caribbean and Mexico itineraries are thoughtfully port-heavy, giving travellers real time ashore rather than rushed stopovers. For anyone who wants a step up from mainstream cruising without the sticker shock of ultra-luxury, Holland America hits the mark.

Why Book Through Boarding Pass Travel
A sale this layered — multiple perks, staggered onboard credits, deposit rules, and Alaska-specific bonuses — is exactly where having a travel advisor in your corner makes a real difference.
We know Holland America inside and out. From stateroom categories to which ships sail which itineraries, we help you find the sailing that fits how you actually want to travel — not just the one that looks best on paper.
We make sure you capture every dollar of this offer. The Have It All package, the warm weather OBC bonus, the Alaska excursion credit — these perks need to be applied correctly at booking. We make sure nothing gets left on the table.
We're your advocate if anything changes. Deposit timelines, itinerary adjustments, stateroom changes — if something shifts after you've booked, you won't be navigating Holland America's hold music alone. That's what we're here for.
We take the complexity off your plate. Between sailing exclusions, per-person vs. per-stateroom credits, and the countdown to March 19, there's a lot to track. Tell us where you want to go and we'll handle the rest.
