One of the things we absolutely love about Holland America (along with nearly all cruise lines today) is their goal of eliminating food waste altogether – a mighty task if ever there was.

To help Holland America meet their objectives, no matter where you dine, we just ask that you eat what you take.

PORT & ADMIN FEES
Port taxes and admin fees are 347 USD per person.
PRE-PAID GRATUITIES
Pre-Paid Gratuities are 177 USD per person for guests in Suites and 147 USD for all other stateroom categories. 100% of these gratuities go to onboard staffers, including your stateroom attendant, the culinary services staff, the behind-the-scenes hotel services staff, and the myriad department heads who work with their teams around the clock to create a flawless VACAYA experience for you.
SOLO TRAVELERS

3+ GUESTS IN A ROOM
The fare for 3rd, 4th, and 5th guests is 597 USD each in all staterooms and suites (plus applicable gratuities and port & admin fees).
ROOM DESCRIPTIONS
Room descriptions, sizing, and view specifics have been provided to us by Holland America Line. Room layouts and views (including obstructions) can vary within the same category. For rooms with a capacity greater than 2, the additional bedding is a combination of sofa beds and/or upper berths.
Be “In The Know” about Obstructions: The standard cruise industry definition of an obstruction or partial obstruction is if the view of the horizon is interrupted when an average height person (170cm or 5’7”) is standing at the balcony’s handrail. If the horizon line is blocked in its entirety, the view is considered fully “obstructed.” If any part of the view of the horizon line is blocked by a lifeboat, overhang, support beam, or any other fixed apparatus (not including moveable cleaning equipment), the view is considered “partially obstructed.” If the horizon line can be viewed in its entirety when standing at the handrail, the view is not considered to be obstructed in any way.
MARINER SOCIETY
Because this is a charter event, Mariner Society benefits (complimentary upgrades, discounts, free drinks, etc.) do not apply. If you’re a member of HAL’s Mariner Society, you can, however, still earn loyalty points in the program for this VACAYA sailing by requesting the credit directly with Holland America Line.

TRIP INSURANCE: GET IT!
There is one question every traveler across the globe universally faces: should I purchase Travel Insurance? It’s natural to ask yourself, “should I spend the extra dollars to protect my vacation investment?” Or do I leave it in the hands of Lady Luck and hope for the best. At VACAYA, we’ve always believed Trip Insurance is critical to the vacation planning process. That’s why we took special care to integrate the purchase opportunity into our online booking process.
Nothing breaks our heart more than hearing from guests who elect not to purchase insurance, but then something tragic – a death, the loss of a home, etc. – happens and they’re unable to attend the event. As painful as it for us, VACAYA is unable to be your insurance in those moments. And as sad as the stories are, we’re unable to break our Terms & Conditions with you. The reason for that is because to maintain our Seller of Travel licenses and to comply with all regulations, we must administer our Terms & Conditions equitably across all guests. Failure to do so risks VACAYA’s very existence.
We recommend a “Cancel For Any Reason” or CFAR policy for everyone, and for good reason: if you decide you don’t want to travel after the cancellation penalty period has begun, this type of insurance covers you against total loss. It’s also a great way to help honor your Social Contract with VACAYA.
So go ahead and buy that bucket list trip, but protect your health and your investment by purchasing Trip Insurance. ❤️
