Holland America Line is introducing the new “Have It All” premium package to its fare options starting on April 21, 2021. The new bundle will include shore excursions, drinks, specialty dining and internet access.
The news comes after competitor Celebrity Cruises recently revealed its “Always Included” program, which automatically makes unlimited beverages, Wi-Fi and daily gratuities complimentary.
By comparison, Holland America’s upgrades will be available as an optional fare type — adding a $99 per guest, per day value (for a seven-day cruise), at a savings of 50% or more versus purchasing them a la carte. The added charge can be tacked onto all voyages six days or longer, with the exception of Grand Voyages. Those guests who prefer not to include the extras can select the base fare.
“We conducted extensive research with experienced cruisers and travel partners to understand what they find most valuable when purchasing a cruise, and the results overwhelmingly pointed toward one simple fare that included our top amenities,” said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line, in a press release. “Our past promotions that offered these perks have been extremely popular, so we created a premium package that is available all the time and on nearly all our cruises.”
Specific inclusions in the “Have It All” program are broken down as follows, with more bundled in as voyage lengths increase:
Sailings of six to nine days:
- One shore excursion up to $100 in value, or $100 off any one tour for all guests in a cabin
- Signature Beverage Package for all guests in a cabin (up to 15 drinks per day allowed)
- One night of specialty dining for all guests in a cabin
- Wi-Fi package for the first and second guests in a cabin
Sailings of 10 to 20 days:
- Aforementioned perks plus an extra $100 shore excursion or tour credit ($200 per guest total)
- Two nights of specialty dining
Sailings of 21+ days (excluding Grand Voyages):
- Aforementioned perks plus an extra $100 shore excursion or tour credit ($300 per guest total
- Three nights of specialty dining
Each guest in a cabin is required to book the “Have It All” fare to receive the inclusions.
