Holland America Caribbean Cruises

When was the last time you cruised sparkling seas to exotic tropical isles? Wiggled your toes into soft white sand? Or hand-fed an angelfish? People enjoy such happy experiences every day in Holland America Caribbean. The moment you step aboard, you feel the Holland America difference. At the gangway, a Dutch maiden with a welcoming smile as Calypso music fills the air, and a white-gloved steward greets you to escort you to your stateroom and invites you to call for anything you might need: extra towels, breakfast in bed, room service anytime. And then he hands you an invitation to "The Magic Begins" Sailaway Party, scheduled to begin on the Lido Terrace any minute.

Our renowned Indonesian and Filipino service staff is the heart of the unmatched Holland America on-board experience. Trained at our very own school, they pride themselves in exceeding your every wish. We sail with a "tipping not required" policy, which ensures the best service you can ever receive – unconditional "five-star" service – with no pressure, no solicitation.

Life on board a Holland America ship is always exciting because there’s always something happening. Join in a myriad of planned activities, or enjoy quiet time in superb surroundings. Your immaculate and truly spacious stateroom comes with all the comforts: luxurious herbal soaps, shampoos and lotions in the bathroom, daily fruit baskets, and more. You will enjoy fine dining from our award winning culinary staff, lovingly prepared and exquisitely presented. You will also enjoy entertainment, fitness programs, and shore excursion trips.

Holland America’s own private island Half Moon Cay is your private playground to swim, sail and snorkel till the beat of a steel drum band summons you to the beach party and buffet. Don’t forget to explore the West Indies village while you’re there!
