This is exciting! Behind the scenes tours are now back fleetwide by end of July. This little known tour was something offered in the past and was discontinued during covid. From past experience it was very limited capacity like a dozen spots and first come first serve. It can’t be booked in advance. My best advice is go to Guest Services as soon as you board to sign up.
…..
Holland America Line is offering behind-the-scenes ship tours, providing guests access to areas typically reserved for crew and officers.
The tours offer insights into the cruise line's operations, service and culinary experiences, and include meetings with senior officers.

Guests who book the tour receive a ship-specific lanyard, a souvenir photo collection, and a commemorative certificate.

The tours are available on select ships, expected to be fleetwide by end of July, and can be booked at guest services for $179 per person

Fall colors sailing Boston to Montreal late September. Sailing up the St Lawrence River at sunrise with an open bow for the arrival in Quebec City. Fantastic cruise. Looking for where to next? I definitely recommend for a closer to home cruise that is not too long. My favorite excursion was visiting Baddeck and the Alexander Graham Bell museum out of Sydney Nova Scotia.

This photo was shared with me by a guest at a time when we had two ships in Antarctica at the same time. I’ve been booking guests on Antarctica cruises for years and I think it would be a fantastic experience. We offer 3 sailings a year in December and January.

Travel Sea sale goes through end of July that includes crew appreciation charges on select sailings which includes South America. Give me a call to plan this amazing vacation! 1-800-355-3017 ext 29336
