Rates are per person, cruise only. If you are a single and would like to share a cabin, we can assist you with finding a roommate. The rate for the third person in the cabin is $2804 for inside cabins, $3054 for oceanview cabins and $3304 for verandah or suite categories. Other cabin categories are also available, including the penthouse suite (call for pricing).

Costs not covered in the cruise price

Port charges are included in the above prices, however government fees, fuel surcharges, and taxes estimated at $245 per person are additional.

Other items not covered in the cruise cost are kit fees for each class, plus items of a personal nature such as photographs, laundry, massage, as well as shore excursions, alcoholic beverages, sodas, or tipping. Holland America applies a service charge for tipping to your account on board at the rate of at least $17 per guest per day. All service personnel on board receive gratuities from this service charge, so no additional tipping is necessary except for bar drinks and spa services which have “as-you-go” service charges added separately.

The purchase of trip cancellation, travel accident and baggage insurance is strongly recommended.

Deposit & final payment

A deposit of $600 per person is needed to guarantee your reservation. ($100 per person is non-refundable). Final payment will be due no later than December 6, 2024. Payments may be made by check (payable to AAA Travel), or by major credit card.

Cancellations

The cruise cancellation policy is as follows:

  • Before 100 days prior to the cruise: $100 per person, non-refundable
  • From 99 days to 46 days prior to the cruise: 50% per person, non-refundable
  • There is no refund within 45 days of sailing.

Above cancel fees apply to the cruise portion only. If you have purchased airfare, pre or post cruise accommodations, tours, ground transportation or any other items related to this cruise they may have different cancelation policies than the cruise. Please contact us for details
