From Oct. 14 through Nov. 15, 2022, guests who book 2023 and available 2024 cruises will receive up to a $150 onboard credit, a complimentary Alaska shore excursion and 50% reduced deposits. The 150th Anniversary offer is combinable with Holland America Line’s Have It All premium package that includes shore excursions, specialty dining, a beverage package and WiFi.
