Just in time for Spring Break and summer vacations, Holland America Line is offering great value with their “kids cruise free” perk, valid on select April 2023 through April 2024 cruises.
As an extension of wave season sales, this perk makes it even easier and more affordable for families to set sail on dream vacations to make memories to last a lifetime.
The “kids cruise free” promotion applies to any cruiser age 5-18 sailing as the third or fourth guest in a stateroom. Parents planning the cruises, however, should be aware that taxes, port fees, and onboard expenses or other purchases are not part of the promotion and will be added to the overall vacation cost.
Still, the savings can be significant, depending on the ship booked, cruise duration, stateroom category, and sailing destination. When added to other booking promotions and bundles, such as the “Have It All” premium package, any cruise can be quite a bargain with included shore excursions, beverage packages, specialty dining, Wi-Fi.
