Holland America Line is sailing into the annual “wave” cruise-booking season with a “Time of Your Life” offer that comes with a free stateroom upgrade, fare discounts, free fares for kids and reduced deposits — plus tours, beverages, specialty dining and Wi-Fi for those who choose the “Have It All” premium package.

The offer is valid on select summer 2023 to spring 2024 cruises booked from now through February 28. As a bonus, cruisers who book by Jan. 31, 2023, also receive up to $400 per stateroom onboard credit, depending on the length of the cruise.

"Wave season features generous promotions to plan the next year's travel, and we put 'Time of Your Life' together thinking about the benefits that are requested most often by our guests," said Beth Bodensteiner, HAL's Chief Commercial Officer.

“While travellers are making their vacation plans, we’re excited to get them thinking about the convenience and diversity of a cruise and entice them to book with ‘Time of Your Life’ when the value of cruising is at an all-time high.”
