Sale starts a week before Black Friday; travelers can plan ahead for cruises through October 2026

SEATTLE , Nov. 21, 2024 /CNW/ -- Holland America Line is launching a Black Friday offer leading up to the biggest shopping day of the year. Running from Nov. 21 through Dec. 1, 2024, travelers can shop for their dream vacation and choose from over 800 cruises included in the sale departing through October 2026.

Guests who book a qualified cruise during the Black Friday offer will receive up to 25% off the cruise fare, free prepaid crew appreciation, 50% reduced deposits, and free third and fourth guests when traveling in the same stateroom. The free prepaid crew appreciation (tips for team members on board) can represent significant savings of more than $1,000 per person depending on stateroom category and length of cruise.

"We have consistently offered incredible deals for Black Friday, and this year is no exception," said Beth Bodensteiner, Holland America Line's chief commercial officer. "We center our promotions around perks that our guests tell us they want, including crew appreciation plus free third and fourth guests on cruises to all of our global destinations—Black Friday is the ideal time to book a cruise."
