Welcome
It’s an exciting time at Holland America Line as they kick off their annual View & Verandah Sale. With exceptional savings on outside and verandah staterooms, this is a great time to plan your Europe cruise. Book by February 28, 2007, to purchase an outside stateroom for the price of an inside; or a verandah for the price of an outside. Click here for a listing of applicable Europe sailings.

Considering the rising value of the Euro, the high price of European hotels, dining and transportation, a Holland America Line Europe cruise offers a great vacation value – and protects you from currency fluctuations. Click here to learn more.
Ports of Call
placeholder spacer Cadiz, Europe’s oldest city, melds old and new in intriguing ways. From the narrow cobbled streets of its Old City to the wide avenues of the new, Cadiz celebrates history and contemporary life.

Learn more about Cadiz

Visit Cadiz on a 14- to 27-Day Cruise from US$1,299.
Ports of Call
placeholder spacer Some say it’s the quality of the light that makes the Mediterranean so magnificent. But that’s only the beginning. Consider the soft-sand beaches, the near-perfect climate, the centuries-old stone walls and castles, fields alive with sunflowers and cultures rich in history, music, art and more.

Learn more about Venice

Explore highlights of two 10-day Mediterranean cruises that begin and end in Venice. Outside staterooms from US$1,399.

10-Day Adriatic & Aegean Odyssey. Outside staterooms from US$1,499.

Mariner Voices:
Last month, Holland America asked for Mariners’ favorite destination memories. Here’s a sampling of responses...

"The Gift of Travel..."


mariners

"A transatlantic cruise from Copenhagen to New York was our gift to each other for our 50th Anniversary. The itinerary was exceptional and the days at sea rejuvenated us in body and spirit. Thank you for the wonderful memories!"

    Gloria and Donald Anderson
    August 2006
Set the Scene: Venice

A cinematic tour of Venice isn’t complete without a look at Don’t Look Now (1973) with Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland, or Woody Allen’s Grand Canal gambit in Everyone Says I Love You. Katherine Hepburn found love in 1950’s Venice in Summertime – and the gorgeous scenery hasn’t changed in 50 years.

Visit roundtrip Venice on a
10-Day Mediterranean Cruise. Outside staterooms from US$1,399
