Holland America Line is offering exceptional Early Advantage savings on a wide selection of 2013 cruises and CruiseTours to guests who book well in advance of departure.
The promotion features free upgrades on select sailings, as well as savings of up to 50 percent by combining two cruise itineraries on select Collectors’ Voyages in Europe. Also on some sailings, free and reduced cruise fares are available for third or fourth guests who share the same stateroom.
“By planning ahead, our guests can take advantage of significant savings and ensure they are able to take their dream vacation,” said Richard Meadows, executive vice president, marketing, sales and guest programs. “Whether it’s upgrading to a verandah stateroom or deciding to enjoy a longer cruise vacation, these savings show the value of booking in advance.”
With savings of up to 50 percent off per person, the Early Advantage promotion makes it possible for guests to take a longer Collectors’ Voyage in Europe at an even more affordable rate. These artfully crafted, longer cruises combine back-to-back itineraries, enabling guests to visit more ports and spend extra time exploring the history, culture and beauty of the region.
With Early Advantage savings, guests can book a 14-day Collectors’ Voyage with fares starting as low as $1,799 per person, double occupancy, for an inside stateroom, and receive a free upgrade to an ocean-view while staterooms are available.
