At Holland America Line, we believe travel has the power to change the world. Our mission is to make the world a better place by opening minds, building connections, and inspiring a shared humanity.

For 150 years, Holland America Line has been a recognized leader in cruising. If you're looking for some of the most spacious and comfortable ships at sea, award-winning service, exquisite dining, extensive activities and enrichment programs, and compelling worldwide itineraries, you've come to the right place.

Our fleet of 11 modern classic ships offers more than 500 sailings a year, visiting all seven continents. Cruises include both popular and lesser-known ports in the Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, Mexico, South America, the Panama Canal, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. We also offer unique voyages to the Amazon, Antarctica, and our extended Grand Voyages.

Holland America Line is committed to environmental responsibility. We first earned our ISO 14001 certification in June 2006, the internationally recognized standard for environmental management. We have been re-certified to meet this standard time and again, demonstrating our belief that safeguarding our guests, crews, ships, and the environment is essential to the success of our business.

As part of our social responsibility, the company, employees, and guests have joined together to give back to communities and organizations around the world. Whether it's donating shipboard items to an orphanage, cleaning up a neighborhood park, walking 5K onboard to raise funds for cancer research, or donating money to disaster relief, Holland America Line and our employees share time and resources to make a difference.

Every Holland America Line employee is committed to providing a truly extraordinary experience for our guests. We look forward to welcoming you aboard and helping you explore the world in style and comfort.
