SEATTLE, July 20, 2015 /CNW/ -- Travelers looking to
plan a cruise for next year and beyond can book now with the
popular "Explore 4" promotion and take advantage of four
exceptional offers on select January
2016 through April 2017
sailings, also including 2015 holiday cruise dates.
The "Explore 4" benefits for guests booking any category
stateroom include a free Signature Beverage Package valued at up to
US$1,400, free Pinnacle Grill dinner
for two, reduced cruise fares for third and fourth guests in the
same stateroom and 50 percent reduced deposits. Bookings must be
made by Oct. 31, 2015.
"We know that many travelers like to plan in advance, so we're
offering some great incentives to entice them to book a cruise with
us sooner," said Orlando Ashford,
president of Holland America Line. "By making their reservations
now, guests can also ensure a better selection of the itinerary and
type of stateroom they prefer and receive a great value with all
that's included."
Suite Travelers Receive Added Perks
Guests who book a cruise in a suite category stateroom will
receive the above four offers plus an additional US$300 onboard spending credit per stateroom
(US$150 per person) and a free
Canaletto dinner for two. Canaletto is the line's alternative
dining venue that showcases cuisine from regions throughout
Italy and a "small plate" menu
designed around contemporary serving styles with flavorful dishes
intended for sharing.
Suite guests may use the spending credit to enjoy a wellness
ritual in the line's luxurious Greenhouse Spa & Salon or
explore the wonders and beauty of the cruising regions on one of
more than 5,000 unique shore excursions. Ship offered tours
range from soft adventure nature experiences to hands-on cultural
immersions such as learning to cook regional cuisine from a local
chef.
Beverage, Dining and other Onboard Amenities Add to Cruise
Value
Guests who book any category stateroom receive a free Signature
Beverage Package valued at up to US$1,400 per stateroom (US$700 per person) that includes wine, beer,
spirits, cocktails, sodas and coffee. The beverage offer is only
applicable on the cruise portion of Alaska Land+Sea Journeys.
(Beverage package value is based on a 14-day cruise and will
increase based on days if a longer cruise is booked.)
"Explore 4" offers also include a complimentary dinner at the
award-winning Pinnacle Grill. Featuring a tantalizing menu
highlighting steak and seafood dishes like filet mignon and broiled
Alaska king salmon, the Pinnacle
Grill also includes favorites like roasted pumpkin risotto and
grilled lamb chops.
With reduced cruise fare for third and fourth guests on select
sailings, a family of four can take an affordable vacation to the
Caribbean or a longer journey to
an exotic destination. For example, in the Caribbean, fares for seven-day cruises start
from US$799 for the first and second
guests in an ocean-view stateroom and reduced fares for the third
and fourth guests. A seven-day European cruise starts at
US$999 for an ocean-view stateroom
for the first and second guests, and with reduced fares for third
and fourth guests.
By taking advantage of the 50 percent reduced deposit offer,
guests will have more flexibility and time before paying the final
deposit on their cruise.
