Costs not covered in the cruise price

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. ($150 per person is non-refundable). Final payment will be due no later than November 1, 2025. All payments must be made by credit or debit card. Gift Card and Cash/Check Payments not accepted.

Cancellations

The cruise cancellation policy is as follows:

  • Before 120 days prior to the cruise: $150 per person, non-refundable
  • From 119 days to 76 days prior to the cruise: 50% per person, non-refundable
  • There is no refund within 75 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.
