Holland America Eurodam's Best Shore Excursions

Cruise ships sailing to Alaska come in all sizes and price ranges, and it's important to choose the right large or small ship for your Alaska cruise vacation. Experience plays a big part in many decisions— Holland America Line began exploring Alaska in 1947 and has continued to wow its guests with land and sea vacations to the Last Frontier for the past 70 years. The company's first tour in Alaska was in Fairbanks, but Holland America is now best known for its cruise vacations or land and sea combination tours.

Explore Alaska With Holland America Cruises

Each year Holland America sends about a half-dozen ships to Alaska, with cruises embarking in Seattle, Vancouver, or Anchorage (Seward). Most Holland America Alaska cruises are seven days long and sail Alaska's Inside Passage round-trip from Seattle or Vancouver, but some sail between Vancouver and Seward and others are 14 days or longer.

The 2100-guest Eurodam was launched in 2008 and is one of the company's three largest and newest ships. The Eurodam was significantly refurbished in December 2015, with new dining, lounge, and entertainment venues, along with suite upgrades added. The ship has excellent onboard programs that include America's Test Kitchen cooking demonstrations, computer classes, and great diverse entertainment in the Music Walk area and the show lounge.

However, on Alaska cruises, many think the best place to be is outside on the decks during the long summer days, watching the spectacular scenery pass by and searching the sea and shore for some of Alaska's famous wildlife. Holland America has an onboard naturalist who stays out on the deck much of the time when the ship is sailing. The naturalist is always ready to answer questions or point out wildlife. 

The other great thing about a Holland America Alaska cruise is the variety and uniqueness of the many shore excursions scheduled for each port of call. Here are the best things to do at the Eurodam's ports of call in Alaska.

Seattle: Embarkation and Debarkation Port of Call

Seattle is a great city to visit and to embark on an Alaskan cruise. The people are friendly, and the summer weather is often pleasant. Seattle is famous for its rain, but it is usually more of a drizzle. However, the sun often shines, and the temperatures can get warmer than you might think. 

Cruise ships embark from two different piers, and your cruise documents will tell you where to find your ship. The Eurodam and other Holland America ships embark at Pier 91, which is north of the downtown area near the Magnolia Bridge. Other cruise lines also dock at Pier 91, while others are at Pier 66.

It's fun to come into Seattle a day or two early and use the time to explore all the sights like the  Space Needle , Pike Place Market , the waterfront, Chihuly Gardens and Glass, and the historic Underground area. When the cruise ships are sailing in the summer months, you'll see lots of other visitors who either are embarking on a cruise or just debarked from one.

The Eurodam sails in the late afternoon for Alaska and passengers gather on the outdoor decks to watch the skyline recede and to be on the lookout for orcas and dolphins.

It's a long way to the first port of call, Juneau, so the Eurodam sails for about 40 hours before arriving in Alaska's state capital.

Juneau: The Eurodam's First Port of Call

Juneau is the capital of Alaska and because of its Inside Passage location, is the only U.S. capital that cannot be reached by car. Visitors must arrive by air or sea. It is also the only U.S. capital with a nearby glacier!

The Holland America Eurodam docks right in downtown Juneau, so those who don't take an organized shore excursion can walk to the shops, bars, or the Mount Roberts Tramway. However, the Eurodam offers over 40 shore excursions in Juneau covering a wide variety of activities, experiences, and costs. Cruise ship guests should take advantage of the unique things to do in and around  Juneau . 

All of the most expensive shore excursions (over $500 per person) include a helicopter ride to a glacier, dog sledding camp, or wilderness location. Although these prices are very high, you will have a lifelong memory of the adventure. The Holland America Eurodam also has seaplane and boat excursions from Juneau. The seaplanes take you to a glacier or looking for wildlife.

Those looking for something more active can take a tour that includes hiking on a glacier, zip-lining, fishing, biking, or kayaking. Seven shore excursions take travelers to the nearby Mendenhall Glacier on a bus. Some of these Mendenhall tours allow for plenty of free time for those who like to hike.

All of the wildlife in Alaska is exotic and most species are unique to North America. Holland America has eight whale-watching shore excursions operating in Juneau. Some of these tours guarantee you'll either see a whale or get a partial refund from the operator. Whales can be seen in many parts of the world, but seeing the humpback whales in Alaska is an amazing memory to take home.

Glacier Bay: The Eurodam's Second Port of Call

Glacier Bay is the Eurodam's destination on day four of its Alaska cruise from Seattle. Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve is a huge park, and much of it is accessible ​only from the water. Cruise ships stop near the park office and visitor's center to pick up some rangers who spend the day providing information and insight on the park.

Passengers stay on the ship, gathering in the lounges or outside on the decks to see the glaciers and wildlife of Glacier Bay. The park rangers' commentary is piped into some of the common areas so that guests won't miss anything. None of the cruises have shore excursions off the ship. 

The tidewater glaciers are the stars of this national park visit, but guests might also see mountain goats, Steller sea lions, and bears. The ship sails very slowly, allowing plenty of time to take in the views. Whales aren't seen as much in the park since the melting and calving glaciers put more fresh water and silt into the water than whales like. 

It's very interesting to listen to the park rangers explain about glaciers and glacial valleys and hear the Native American interpretive guide describe how important the park area was (and is) to the Native American tribes who once lived there. 

Sitka: The Eurodam's Third Port of Call

Sitka is located on the outside of the Inside Passage. If that doesn't make sense, it's located on the western side of one of the islands on the Inside Passage but is on the Pacific Ocean rather than a channel. Large ships like the Eurodam of Holland America either anchor and tender their guests into town or dock just outside Sitka and provide a free shuttle bus into town.

Most cruise passengers visiting Sitka take a shore excursion to see wildlife or learn more about the history or culture of the indigenous peoples of the area. Holland America has about two dozen shore excursion options in Sitka, so it's difficult to choose just one. 

Wildlife Shore Excursions

Holland America has about a half dozen tours that use boats to sail around the harbor and shorelines of some of the neighboring islands. The waters and islands around Sitka have plentiful wildlife, and animals like sea otters, eagles, whales, and sea lions are often seen from the local excursion boats. One wildlife boat tour even uses a jet boat and another uses an ocean raft that moves up to 50 miles per hour, which allows its guests to see wildlife when it slows down, plus have an exciting ride. Bears are rarely seen until the salmon start filling the streams in mid-summer. However, some shore excursions include a visit to the Fortress of the Bear rescue facility where Alaskan brown bears are rehabilitated. Other wildlife shore excursions visit the Alaska Raptor Center, which has many "raptors in residence". 

History and Art Shore Excursions

Holland America also has four Sitka shore excursions for those who love history, art, and architecture. One even includes the option to create your own Alaska-inspired painting and take it home with you. Another tour takes guests to explore the Sheldon Jackson Museum, which has a huge collection of Native American and Inuit artifacts.  A third excursion looks at Sitka's Russian and Native American history at a clan-style house and the Sitka National Historic Park.

Active and Unusual Shore Excursions

Holland America has arranged 14 very active or unusual shore excursions such as kayaking, biking, hiking, fishing, exploring in a 4x4, or snorkeling in a dry suit. One very fun and unique Sitka excursion is a "Pedal and Pub Crawl", where you explore the town on a bike while learning about Sitka's history and stopping for a couple of beers along the way.

Ketchikan: The Eurodam's Forth Port of Call

Ketchikan has two distinguishing characteristics that most cruise travelers will remember—it is one of the rainiest cities in the USA, and it legalized prostitution in certain areas from 1903 to 1954. Some of the old Ketchikan brothels where the "sporting women" lived and worked (as they were called) can still be found on Creek Street, ​and a couple of the old homes offer tours. 

Although the Holland America Eurodam is only in Ketchikan for 6 hours, the cruise ship has 33 shore excursions for its guests to enjoy. Most of these half-day tours are four hours or less, so guests can participate in a tour and still have time to explore Ketchikan on their own since the ship docks very near to Creek Street and the main shopping areas.

Some travelers wonder why cruise ships would only spend six hours in Ketchikan and then stop in Victoria for just six hours. Why not just spend more time in Ketchikan? Victoria is a great port of call, but ships stop over there in order to comply with the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 (the Jones Act). Congress passed this law to protect American shipping, but it also covers cruise ships. It requires all ships that are not flagged in the United States to include one foreign port of call on their itineraries. Since all but one (the Pride of America) large cruise ships are not flagged in the United States, they include a Canadian port of call on their Alaska cruise itineraries or embark/disembark in Vancouver.

Adventure Tours

The Eurodam has 14 adventure tours available when the ship is docked in Ketchikan. Some of these involve snorkeling; zip-lining; jeep, canoe, zodiac, or adventure cart expeditions. Others give guests the chance to fish for salmon or halibut. One of the fishing expeditions even allows you to eat the fish you've caught! 

Dining Tours

In addition to eating your own catch, Holland America has four other tours in Ketchikan for foodies. The highlight of all these tours is eating Alaskan crab and/or other types of seafood. The location of the crab feast and entertainment makes each one different.

Historical and Educational Tours

Like all other Alaskan towns, Ketchikan has an interesting past, and it's not just the "sporting women". Guests can take a tour to learn about running crab traps in the Bering Sea while riding on the Aleutian Ballad, just like on television's The Deadliest Catch ). One tour explores the streets and waters around Ketchikan from a "duck", which is an amphibious vehicle. Another tour shows guests the highlights of Ketchikan and the totem pole park from a trolley car, while other tours explore the Totem Pole Park and the Saxman Native Village. One tour that is uniquely Ketchikan is its famous Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show. The ship has several tours that include entrance to the show.

Exploring Misty Fjords National Monument

Many cruise ship guests take either a floatplane or a boat from Ketchikan to Misty Fjords National Monument , the second largest national wilderness in the United States.

Ketchikan is the nearest port of call to Misty Fjords National Monument for passengers arriving on large cruise ships. Holland America has three shore excursions that go from Ketchikan to the Misty Fjords, which are about 20 miles away. All three involve a seaplane, which provides a great chance to see this wilderness area from the air. The views are magnificent!

Victoria, British Columbia: The Eurodam's Fifth Port of Call

The last port of call for the Holland America Eurodam before disembarking in Seattle is the city of Victoria on Canada's Vancouver Island . After sailing for about 29 hours from Ketchikan, the ship arrives late in the afternoon on day seven and stays until midnight, which gives guests plenty of time to take one of the 13 shore excursions or to explore Victoria on their own.

Since Victoria is more cosmopolitan than the other ports of call, many of the excursions focus on highlights to see in and around the city or things to do like have Royal Tea at Abkhazi Gardens or tour some of the city's many craft breweries. Guests who haven't seen enough whales can take one last whale watching adventure, while those who love butterflies can visit a butterfly garden outside the city.

Many cruise passengers who visit Victoria take a tour to the famous ​Butchart Gardens. This 55-acre garden is one of the world's most spectacular, and visitors love to explore the many individual gardens that cover the whole space like the rose garden, sunken garden, Japanese garden, or Italian garden. Although the Butchart Gardens are about 14 miles north of Victoria, you will have plenty of time to explore the entire grounds and the excellent gift shop.

On Shore with Holland America

Shore excursions offered by Holland America Line vary greatly by itinerary and ship. You can expect sightseeing expeditions (like a bike tour in  Barcelona, Spain ), water adventures (like snorkeling in the Caribbean) or culinary explorations (like a food tour in Kona, Hawaii).

Excursions are not included in the price of your cruise. You can reserve a shore excursion online or by phone up to three days before departure. You may also book excursions while on board, but priority is given to online reservations. If you need to cancel your excursion, you must do so more than three days prior to your cruise departure date. No refund will be given to anyone who cancels within three days of embarkation. 

U.S. News Insider Tip: Book your shore excursions early, as many of the popular ones sell out before the cruise begins. You don't want to miss that glacier visit in Alaska or a tour of ancient Ephesus in Turkey! – Jill Schildhouse, Contributor

The Holland America Have It All Package: Everything You Need to Know

By Scott Sanfilippo

Thinking about whether to purchase Holland America’s Have It All package for your next cruise? Today, I’ll will walk you through this all-inclusive bundle, outlining what it offers and the value it brings based on different trip lengths. I’ll dive into specifics of the beverage package, shore excursion credit, Wi-Fi package, and specialty dining as well as some potential reasons why you might choose not to add it to your trip.

The Holland America Have It All package is an all-inclusive deal designed to enhance your cruising experience by bundling four primary components: a Signature Beverage Package, a shore excursion credit, a Wi-Fi package, and access to specialty dining. This package is aimed at providing you with a comprehensive and convenient cruising experience, where many amenities are already included in your trip cost.

What’s Included in the Have It All Package

• Signature Beverage Package – This package allows each guest to consume up to 15 drinks per day, which includes alcoholic beverages like beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails, as well as non-alcoholic options such as sodas, coffee, and tea. It’s important to note that it doesn’t cover all types of beverages; ultra-premium spirits and certain types of wine are excluded from the package.
• Shore Excursion Credit – This offers $100 per person in credit to use on shore excursions on cruises 6 – 9 days, two $100 per person credits on cruises 10 – 20 days, and three $100 credits per person on cruises 21+ days. This can be a game-changer if you love exploring local sites and culture. Whether you want to embark on a guided tour, try out a new water sport, or explore the local cuisine, this credit can help defray some of those costs.
• Wi-Fi Package – Cruises aren’t always known for their connectivity, but the Have It All package includes a Surf Wi-Fi Package for the duration of your cruise. You can use it to stay connected with friends and family, share your journey on social media, or even work remotely if need be.  It’s important to note that the Surf Wi-Fi Package does not allow for audio or video streaming, but you can upgrade your Wi-Fi package to one that does once you’re onboard.
• Specialty Dining – The package includes one night at a specialty dining venue per cruise on cruises 6 – 9 days, two nights of specialty dining on cruises 10 – 20 days, and on cruises 21+ days three nights of specialty dining,  This allows you to enjoy a high-end dining experience without the additional cost.  The specialty dining venues will vary by ship but will always include the option of the Pinnacle Grill steakhouse and Canaletto – an Italian restaurant.

When evaluating the package’s value, consider the length of your cruise. For short voyages, say 6-9 days, it’s worth noting that the package is priced per day, so you might end up using only a fraction of what you pay for. On the other hand, for longer voyages of 10+ days, you’re likely to extract more value as you’ll have more opportunities to use the credits and enjoy the perks.

Holland America Have It All Price and Reviews

Considering the Holland America Have It All price, the overall value greatly depends on the length of your cruise and your usage of the perks. The package is priced per day, so for short trips (6-9 days), you may not fully utilize what you’re paying for. However, on a longer voyage (10+ days), you’re likely to extract significant value, as per several Holland America Have It All online reviews.

Holland America Have It All Worth It: Things to Consider

While the ‘Have It All’ package offers substantial perks, there are a few exclusions and points to ponder. The drinks package doesn’t extend to ultra-premium spirits and certain wines. The shore excursion credit doesn’t roll over if not fully used in a single port. The Wi-Fi package is only for basic surfing and not streaming. And specialty dining might not appeal to everyone, particularly those with specific dietary restrictions.

Holland America Have It All FAQ and Terms and Conditions

Before you take the plunge, it’s crucial to read through the Holland America Have It All terms and conditions , which explain all the details about what’s included and what’s not. Also, check out the Holland America Have It All FAQ section on their website for answers to common queries.

Holland America Have It All How to Book

Holland America offers the ability to book cruises with the Have It All price built-in, or you can purchase it as an add-on to your cruise for $50 per day (as of August 2023 – prices may change!)  just like you would a beverage package.  Oftentimes, it is less expensive to purchase it as an add-on than with it built into the fare as there may be discounts offered on the add-on

In conclusion, the Have It All package might be a fantastic deal if you’re planning to use all its components. As with any such decision, it’s essential to consider your personal cruise style, needs, and preferences. Happy cruising!

Go on! Show some love and share this post.

Norway shore excursions

By hanalei_princess , March 6, 2023 in Holland America Line

Holland has not been helpful or knowledgeable with Norway shore excursions. Looking for not to be missed for Ulvik, Bergen, Alesund and Geiranger.

Does anyone also know how to get a North American agent at Seattle Shore Excursion desk  rather than an off shore agent that is not knowledgeabe about shore excursions?

Share on other sites.

There's plenty to do on your own in Bergen and Alesund; Geiranger is small, and you can walk around the town, take a HO-HO bus, or a tour.  I don't remember Ulvic.  In Bergen and Alesund both I have always been docked very close to the downtown area, and it was a fairly easy walk to the Bryggen area, formerly a setting for the Hanseatic League. It's full of shops now. Very nearby is the entrance to a lift that will take you up the mountain for a delightful view.  There have been tours to Grieg's home outside of town, which is a lovely spot, especially for people who appreciate his music.  Alesund was a stop on The Amazing Race, if you have ever watched the show. There is a trolly that will take you to the top of a high hill for views of the area. There is (or at least was the first time I was there) a really good aquarium on the outskirts of town.  I hope shore excursions for your cruise appear soon. In the meantime, why not check out the ports of call forums on Cruise Critic? There should be plenty of information there.  Norway is one of my favorite countries to cruise to; I have been been there more times than I can count, and would be ready to go back any time.

I suspect that anyone you talk to from Seattle will be customer service folks who simply read info off their screen scripts.  Excursions are simply contracted, by a third party company that handles the shore excursion operation, from shore-based tour companies.  It would be rare to find anyone at Seattle that has a lot of detailed knowledge of excursions other than the usual scripts.  

You will likely get better information right here on CC by posting on the appropriate Ports of Call board or perhaps here on the HAL board.  

When is your cruise?  If it is soon, you can see a list of offered excursions under "already booked".

If it is not until 2024, they aren't out yet.

Here you can search for prior reviews of each ports when excursions were offered in them, including the four you list (though all might not be offered)

I haven't been to Ulvik, but agree with Ruth about the other ports (though I visited them with either other cruise line or on a land trip).

If there is an opportunity on a clear or semi-clear day to take an excursion up the steep hill outside Geiranger you will have a spectacular view of the fjord, not to be missed if this will be your only trip. Access to Geiranger will start to get limited for cruise ships (at least the bigger ones) in the next couple years, so it may be now or never.

You're right about Geiranger. It's incredible. And the trip up the mountain gives you a chance to get a picture of your ship in a gorgeous setting. One of my favorite vacation pics is DH and me with the fjord and QE2 in the background. One warning--if you're not good about twisty roads or heights, you might not want to do the excursion up the mountain. We did an excursion up to see a glacier at the top of the mountain. LOTS of switchbacks on the road. On the way up, after just a few turns, we had a photo op stop at a hotel. One woman on our tour said she was done and would get a taxi back down to the ship! 

IIRC, there's now a museum in Geiranger. On our second time there, we were with friends, and she was NOT a good bus rider, so we didn't do the steep excursion. Instead, we walked around a bit and I think we went to a museum. 

I get motion sickness way more easily in a car or bus than on ships.  Consider taking Meclizine (Bonine) before a bus tour (or small plane/helicopter).  I always carry it on ships but rarely have needed to take them.

Traveling Library

Walk around downtown Alesund. They had a fire in the late 1800’s and rebuilt the city in Art Nouveau style. There also is a small Art Nouveau museum which is worth a visit.

Our port was changed to Ulvik from Edifjord.  From what I can find, there are no tours being offered there.

If it's a recent port change, they may still be sorting out the tours. I've never been to either of those ports, so I have no idea what could be offered there.

From one of our Norway trips:

The first two are from the trip up the road above Geiranger, and the third is Alesund from the top of the hill that Ruth mentioned in post #2.

In Geiranger the dock unfolds like a folding yardstick. If you are the first ship in you may be able to watch it unfold. Very interesting to see.

In Bergen, I'd recommend the Floibanen funicular up to the top of Mt. Floyen for hiking and views. As @RuthC  says, there town is easy and interesting to explore on foot, as well

For Alesund - the HoHo bus was an unexpected treat - and took us to an outlook that was worth the entire price ... 🍺 🥌

I am taking this cruise too.  We are planning to walk to the Apple orchards for cider in Ulvik. It’s about 45 minutes each way.  If the weather is good, we may rent a kayak for an hour.  There is a place in town.   In Bergen we plan to take the funicular up to Mr. Floren and then walk around Bryggen and go to Grieg’s house.

In Alesund, we will walk around town, go up to Mt. Askla and walk some at the top.  We may try to go to the Sunemore Museum.  The HOHO abuse would be good too.  in Gerainger, we plan to do a RIB boat ride, and then take the waterfall walk up to the Fjord center.   Also plan to have a drink or coffee in each stop.  Very excited for the trip. 

They added a few tours at Ulvik.  Unfortunately, the one I wanted is sold out. I am waitlisted.  It would take us over to Eidfjord.  Still excited, but this tour is like the one I had @Eidfjord. Going on the other tour that was offered.  

We are doing a RIB boat ride in Geiranger. Booked thru a local operator.  Listed at $175/pp on the HAL website.  It was about $53/pp thru the local operator (Kroner to dollar converter). Big difference. Looks like the same or very similar tour that HAL is offering in their planning guide.

We are going on the  Eidfjord Cruise & Voringsfossen Waterfall excursion offered by HAL at $129/pp but we have the $100/pp excursion credit to use so net cost $29/pp.

We will do HOHO buses at other stops or just walk around on our own.

You can Google or TripAdvisor any of the ports and find local operators. I would book sooner rather than later. We sail in August on the Rotterdam. 

I was in Geiranger in August 2022 on the Rotterdam, All Geiranger excursions were sold out before the cruise even started, so I would book a tour in advance. This is a small town and the cruise ships seem to book all of the tours.

That is quite the price difference. I hope it works out for you.  With Geiranger being a tender port, they will likely let folks who booked through HAL off first.

I've done the RIB and the trip up Mt. Dalsnibba in Geiranger.  Both are amazing!  Here is a link to one of the companies doing excursions in Geiranger.   https://www.geirangerfjord.no/english   When we did the bus trip we also went out to the other viewpoint in addition to Mt. Dalsnibba, the Panorama Exclusive Bus.   https://www.geirangerfjord.no/bus-turer-i-geiranger-2

In Bergen we went up Mt. Floyen.  For hikers, there are several hikes you can do on the top, depending on how much time you want to spend.  We hiked into the lake and enjoyed a short time relaxing there.  

In Alesund we did the HoHo bus as it took us to the sights we wanted.  

We were changed from Ulvik to Eidfjord and were very happy with that change.  I never did find out what was available in Ulvik.

We "dock" at 7:00 am.  The tour is scheduled for 10:00 am.  Plenty of time. I didn't know that Geiranger was a tender port. For the $120/pp savings, I will gladly wait an hour or so on the ship while the HAL folks head to shore.

Or get off before them and walk around town before  your activity.  That was the advice given to us by the CD in Geiranger.  

We went on a great excursion while in Geiranger, Mount Dalsnibba and Eagle Road.  https://www.norwayexcursions.com/en/tour/geiranger-mount-dalsnibba-and-eagle-road/ . No problem getting on and off the boat in time with still enough time to walk around the village.

I did the Mt. Floyen funicular on our first visit to Bergen and the cable car to Mt. Ulriken on the second. Both were fun experiences and I highly recommend both (we did them independently and had time for other activities later in the day, too). There was just something about the sky, the view and surroundings on Mt. Ulriken (higher elevation than Mt. Floyen) that left me spellbound.

View all  Frequently Asked Questions

Download Navigator® Your Essential Cruise Companion!

The  Holland America Line Navigator  App is your indispensable tool for cruise planning, embarkation, managing your onboard experience and booking shore excursions.

Download the app before your cruise, log in, and immediately start using Navigator.

Once you’ve completed Online Check-In at  www.hollandamerica.com , retrieve your digital boarding pass via the app to expedite embarkation at the pier. You can also complete your health assessment and book shore excursions prior to your cruise.

General Information

Identification requirements.

Immigration Questionnaire & Online Check-In:  Each individual guest is required to complete the questionnaire in Online Check-In to obtain Express Docs. Please go to our website at hollandamerica.com and complete the Online Check-In process prior to your sail date. After you complete the Online Check-In, your Express Docs including your Boarding Pass will be issued. Please do not forget to print them out prior to leaving home.

Please Note:

• Guests arriving at embarkation without complete and accurate documentation may not join the voyage and will not be entitled to a refund.
• Please complete the Online Check-In process at  hollandamerica.com   72 hours  prior to your sail date. Guests who wait to check in at the terminal risk being unable to sail even if they arrive at the terminal before the vessel leaves. You will be responsible for all costs you incur to join the vessel at the next port.
• If for some reason you have not completed your Online Check-in process at least 3 days prior to departure, you will still be able to print your Express Docs, including the boarding pass, up to the departure date. Guests who have not completed the required check-in prior to departure time are subject to denied boarding.

U.S. government security regulations require us to submit certain guest information to law enforcement authorities at least 60 minutes prior to departure. To meet this requirement, we must have the necessary information in our records at least 90 minutes prior to departure. If we do not have your information by this deadline, you will be unable to sail. Guests are urged to complete the Online Check-in process before leaving home. Guests who wait to check in at the terminal risk being unable to sail even if they arrive at the terminal before the vessel leaves. You will be responsible for all costs you incur to join the vessel at the next port .

PERSONAL TRAVEL IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

Holland America Line highly recommends that all guests carry a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond the completion date of your travel. Having a passport will enable you to fly from the U.S. to a foreign port in the event you miss your scheduled embarkation or to fly back to the U.S. if you need to disembark the ship mid-cruise due to an emergency.

Immigration and administrative rules may require the vessel to collect and safeguard guest passports and guests to complete landing cards prior to some ports of call. Further information will be provided on board.

PLEASE NOTE : It is your sole responsibility to obtain and have available the proper travel documents that are necessary for your travel, including all costs related to arrangements to obtain entry to countries you visit and re-entry to your destination country.

Boarding may be denied or fines may be levied against those guests without proper documentation. Payment of any fines levied is the responsibility of the individual guest.

For U.S. and Canadian Citizens Travel by Land or Sea:

Travel document requirements vary based on cruise itinerary and whether international flights are required. For voyages that are scheduled to end outside the U.S., a passport that is valid for six months beyond the completion date of your travel is required.

Passports or Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) compliant documents are required for cruises to Alaska, Bermuda, Canada, Caribbean, Hawaii, and Mexico. U.S. and Canadian citizens ages 16 and above may present one of the following valid WHTI-compliant documents:

• Passport (recommended travel document) (valid for travel by air, land and sea)
• Passport Card (valid for land and sea border crossings only)
• State Issued Enhanced Driver’s License (EDL) – (valid for land and sea border crossings only, not valid on Yukon Cruisetours due to air travel included in the Journey)
• Other documents approved by the Department of Homeland Security

For a list of approved documents visit:

travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/go/checklist.html

The EDL driver’s license, or non-driver photo identification, is offered in the U.S. states of Michigan, New York, Vermont and Washington and in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec, to applicants that can prove identity and citizenship. Please note the EDL is not the same as an Enhanced (or Endorsed) Commercial Driver’s License.

U.S. citizens on closed-loop cruises : U.S. citizens on cruises in the Western Hemisphere that originate and terminate in the same U.S. port are required to have proof of citizenship such as a valid U.S. passport or a government issued birth certificate combined with a government issued photo I.D. Other approved proof of citizenship documents such as a passport card, an enhanced driver’s license (EDL) or certificate of naturalization along with a government-issued photo ID are also acceptable. A passport is still the preferred document.  PLEASE NOTE  –WHTI-compliant documents are acceptable for entry or re-entry into the United States. You may be required to present additional or different travel documents when entering foreign countries, including some countries in the Western Hemisphere.

Birth certificates from Puerto Rico issued prior to  July 1, 2010 are not valid forms of proof of citizenship that is accepted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.  Guests from Puerto Rico either need to present a WHTI-compliant document or a government- issued photo identification with a validated birth certificate issued after July 1, 2010.

Children : U.S. citizen children under the age of 16 traveling on a closed-loop cruise (a cruise in the Western Hemisphere which originates and ends in the same U.S. port) will be able to present their government issued birth certificate or other proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a naturalization certificate or citizenship card to sail. Birth certificates can be an original or certified copy.

PASSPORT REQUIREMENT WHEN MINORS TRAVEL WITH ONE ADULT ON VOYAGES GOVERNED BY U.S. WESTERN HEMISPHERE TRAVEL INITIATIVE (“WHTI”) (includes travel within BERMUDA, CANADA, CARIBBEAN, MEXICO, UNITED STATES)

When minors are traveling with only one adult 21 years of age or older, Holland America Line requires that all guests must  be in possession of a valid passport. Holland America Line has implemented this requirement so that you all remain together should an emergency arise that requires one or more in your party to be disembarked in a non-U.S. port. Holland America Line cannot guarantee that all members of your party will be allowed to disembark with only a WHTI-compliant document or birth certificate.

NOTE:  If you are not the parent or Legal Guardian of any minor  child traveling with you, you must present an original letter signed by at least one of the child’s parents. The letter from the child’s parent must provide contact information and authorize the traveling adult to take the child on the specific cruise.

For more information regarding passports and WHTI compliant documents, please visit  travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/go/checklist.html  or call the National Passport Information Center toll free at 1-877-487-2778 or TDD/TYY at 1-888-874-7793.

Travel by Air:  Passports are required for all international air travel to and from the United States, regardless of age or citizenship. This includes air travel to and from Canada, Bermuda, the Caribbean and Mexico.

For Non-U.S./Non-Canadian Citizens:  For Non-U.S./Non-Canadian Citizens: You must have and carry a passport valid for six months beyond the duration of your travel. Please carefully verify the existing identification requirements for your particular travel situation, including all destinations. In addition, non-U.S. citizens who have previously been admitted to the United States for permanent residence must carry their Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551), commonly known as a Green Card. Resident aliens not in possession of this must obtain one at the nearest office of the U.S. Immigration Service. Note that while a passport for a Green Card holder is not required to return to the U.S., your destination country requirements may be different. Please verify your documentation requirements prior to sailing, but we highly recommend Green Card holders travel with their passport as an extra precaution.

Please Note:  To allow us to expedite immigration clearances in the various countries you will be asked to surrender your passport to our staff upon check-in. Some clearances will require face to face inspections, details will be communicated to you onboard.

Rest assured that your passport will be fully secured by our staff. Regardless, it is always good practice, when traveling, to make copies of your passport pages before departing.

Certain countries require that you obtain official authorization (called a visa) before entering the country, and some countries require that you obtain a visa regardless of whether you plan to go ashore in that particular port or not. Usually there is a fee required.

Guests are responsible for verifying and obtaining any necessary travel documents for entry and exit to the countries visited, as these requirements vary depending on the specific port and nationality of the traveler. This includes payment of all costs related to arrangements to obtain entry to the countries you visit. Boarding may be denied or fines levied against those guests arriving at the pier without the proper documentation, and those guests will not be eligible for a refund . Payment of any fines levied is the responsibility of the individual guest. Please note that fees and visa requirements are subject to change without notice. Tourist/visa requirements are determined by passport nationality, not by country of residence.

Do I Need Vaccines to take a Cruise

Vaccination requirements change frequently. These requirements are established by the countries you are visiting and not by Holland America Line. For this reason, you should contact your local physician, Health Department and/or travel medicine clinic to discuss vaccination requirements for all countries on your itinerary.

Mosquito-borne Illnesses:  Malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and Chikungunya are found in many tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Guests should always travel with appropriate clothing and mosquito repellent with DEET or Picaridin to reduce the risk of mosquito bites. In addition, please check with your primary care provider or local travel medicine clinic to see what, if any, vaccinations or other measures are recommended for your specific itinerary. Be certain to bring along a record of all your vaccinations. Check with your health care provider at least six to eight weeks prior to departure, as vaccination requirements and recommendations may change.

Yellow Fever:  Many Yellow Fever immunization requirements are based on traveling from one “infected” or “endemic” country to another. It is also a good idea to bring along a record of your immunizations, as requirements for immunizations may change.

Emergency Phone Numbers

At some point in your travels you may experience an emergency. With this in mind, the following emergency phone numbers are available for your use: 1-800-628-4771. Holland America Line representatives are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year to assist you in any way they can, including assistance with travel delays and contacting loved ones.

The numbers are for emergency use only; please do not call unless you are experiencing an emergency of a critical nature. For information concerning airline delays, please see the Arrival Advice / Airline Delays section below.

Guests Under 21

Guests under 21 years of age must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or chaperone who is at least 21 years old; one adult chaperone is required for every five people under the age of 21. Alcoholic beverages will not be served to guests under age 21.  However, effective on voyages commencing July 1. 2016 and thereafter, the legal drinking age onboard will be 18 for voyages which depart from and return to Europe, China, Hong Kong, Singapore or Taiwan, and the legal drinking age onboard will be 20 for voyages which depart from and return to Japan.  Infants must be at least 6 months of age at the time of embarkation in order to sail. Children must be at least 12 months of age at the time of embarkation to sail on trans-ocean crossings and remote itineraries, where there are more than 2 consecutive sea days.

For voyages that depart from and return to Australia and/or New Zealand, these policies and the legal drinking age apply to guests 18 years or over. Minors under the age of 18 traveling to foreign countries must be accompanied by a parents or guardian.

Changing Your Itinerary

With very limited exceptions (such as some Panama Canal cruises), U.S. law prohibits persons from beginning their cruise in one U.S. port and ending it in a different U.S. port. For this reason, voyages originating and ending in the same U.S. port will not allow embarkation or disembarkation in an alternate U.S. port. Please note that this is a U.S. government regulation over which Holland America Line has no control.

Customs Information

In order to make returning home as smooth and easy as possible, please take note of the following tips. For more information, consult your Customs Agency. Guests returning to the United States can also check the official website of U.S. Customs at  cbp.gov/ .

Registering Your Valuables:  We strongly recommend that you register your valuables with Customs before leaving home. This should be done well in advance of travel at a Customs office near your home. Items that should be registered generally include those not manufactured in your country. If you cannot prove that you owned an item prior to departure, Customs officials may charge you duty to bring it back into your country. Customs pays particular attention to cameras (including special lenses and video equipment), binoculars, radios, laptop computers, foreign-made watches and other similar appliances. Customs officials will not be available at the ship during check-in to register valuables.

Transportation of Currency:  You may take as much currency or as many monetary instruments as you wish on your trip. However, if you take out or bring into the United States more than US$10,000, you are required by law to file a report with the U.S. Customs Service.

Also Canadian residents need to declare if you take out or bring into the country more than CAD10,000. Please remember that many other countries have a similar policy when going ashore and you will be subject to their currency allowances at the current exchange rate. Any additional information concerning currency restrictions, please contact the customs agency in their country.

Customs Allowance:  Each U.S. resident is usually allowed a duty free exemption of US$800; it may be more or less depending upon your itinerary and recent travel outside the country. An additional US$1,000 worth of articles may be brought in and taxed at a reduced flat duty rate. After an absence of seven days or more, Canadian citizens may bring back to Canada up to CAD750 worth of duty-free merchandise, which may include a maximum of 40 ounces of liquor or wine and 200 cigarettes. Guests who are neither U.S. nor Canadian citizens should check with the Customs agency in their country for allowance information before departing. Additional information concerning Customs matters will be provided during your cruise.

Tobacco & Alcohol

• A traveler may include up to 100 cigars and 200 cigarettes (one carton) in the US$800 exemption from duty. Additional cigars and cigarettes may be brought into the country, but they will be subject to duty and taxes. Cigarettes may also be subject to a tax imposed by state and local authorities. Bidis — essentially flavored cigarettes — are not generally permitted entry.
• Generally, one liter of alcohol per person may be entered into the U.S. duty-free by travelers who are 21 or older, although travelers coming from the U.S. Virgin Islands or other Caribbean countries are entitled to more. Additional quantities may be entered, although they will be subject to duty and IRS taxes.

Guests with Disabilities

Holland America Line does not discriminate against persons on the basis of disability. We seek, to the extent feasible, to accommodate guests with disabilities. For more specific information regarding the following categories, please visit the “Accessible Cruising” section of our website at hollandamerica.com: Stateroom Information; Mobility Equipment; Ship Transfer Options; Shoreside Mobility, including Airports and/or Train Stations and Land Tours and/or Shore Excursions; Service Animals; Blind or Low Vision; Deaf or Hard of Hearing; Oxygen; Food Allergy Information; Children with Special Needs; and Wheelchair Accessible Route Maps. Holland America Line offers a limited number of staterooms designed to be wheelchair- and scooter-accessible. For the safety of all guests and crew, scooters and other mobility equipment need to be securely stored and charged in the guest’s stateroom and not in hallways or elevator lobbies. Scooters left in these areas could restrict people needing to travel through these areas in an emergency, particularly other guests using mobility aids, since they would have no way of getting by a scooter left in a hallway. For this reason, Holland America Line has size and weight guidelines for scooters. For your safety as well as the safety of fellow guests and crew, guests using powered mobility devices should exercise caution by utilizing reduced speed settings on their mobility device while on board and in terminal facilities. If you plan on bringing a scooter on the ship, please contact:

Guest Accessibility Department

Phone: 1-800-547-8493 (locally at 1-206-626-7044)

TTY: 1-800-254-8669

Email:  [email protected]

Certain ship transfer operations (e.g., during tendering and at the gangways) may not be fully accessible to wheelchairs or scooters. When a ship is unable to dock, guests are taken ashore on smaller boats called tenders. Some guests with limited mobility may find it difficult to embark or disembark the ship at certain times while at dock or while tendering due to steep gangways and steps, particularly during low or high tide. Also, please note that scooters and wheelchairs weighing more than 100 pounds without the battery are not allowed to be transferred from the ship to tender and/or from tender to shore. For persons not capable of walking on their own, the use of a wheelchair will be the primary mobility assistance aid for getting on and off the ship. Situations may occur in which guests with limited mobility may not be able to go ashore at the time they desire or are unable to go ashore at all in certain ports. For the safety of all concerned, the Captain shall make the final determination regarding whether or not it is advisable to provide assistance to guests with mobility limitations or to carry their mobility assistance device (e.g., wheelchair, scooter, walker, etc.), taking into account all appropriate matters including, but not limited to, weather conditions, ship’s location, weight of the guest or his or her mobility device, etc. While every effort is made to assist guests, we are unable to provide crew members who can spend all or most of their time working with a single guest in order to address ongoing special needs. Guests who require that level of care will need to travel with a companion who is able to provide the assistance necessary. Certain third-party transfer and tour facilities may not be fully accessible to guests with disabilities. Although we endeavor to make sure these companies comply with legal requirements, we cannot guarantee all are able to provide facilities that are accessible to persons with disabilities. For detailed, up-to-date information on accessibility issues involving tours, we strongly recommend contacting our Shore Excursions Department prior to embarkation at 1-888-425-9376 (locally at 1-206-626-7320) or visiting the Shore Excursions Office on board. Due to the limited number of lift-equipped vehicles in foreign locations, guests may incur additional costs for transportation related to packages. For information on alternative transportation arrangements and associated costs, please contact our Guest Accessibility Department.

It is essential that we be notified of any special medical, physical or other requirements you may have (including whether you intend to bring a scooter with you) as soon as possible, preferably at the time of booking, so that we may make our best effort to accommodate you. Guests who are unable to care for their own basic needs (e.g., dressing, eating and attending safety drills) MUST have a capable traveling companion. In limited situations (either on board or ashore), we may find it necessary to ask an individual to make alternate travel arrangements, such as if an individual with a disability is unable to satisfy certain specified safety and other criteria, even when provided with appropriate auxiliary aids and services. The medical staff on board is not available for daily care unless an individual is hospitalized in the ship’s Medical Center.

Wheelchairs:  Holland America Line has a limited supply of wheelchairs on board. In order to accommodate our guests, wheelchairs are reserved exclusively for embarkation and disembarkation assistance in the pier facility and in emergency situations. Holland America Line is not able to provide complimentary wheelchair assistance other than for the purposes listed above. If you require the regular use of a wheelchair, we recommend that you bring your own wheelchair with you. You may also make advance rental arrangements prior to departure and have a wheelchair delivered directly to the ship. For additional details on the prearranged rental program, please refer to the contact information below for Special Needs at Sea or ScootAround.

Embarkation/Disembarkation — Wheelchair Assistance:  Guests requiring assistance with embarkation and disembarkation procedures on board do not need to request this assistance in advance; however, due to high demand in some ports, there can be a wait for assistance. For embarkation procedures, please advise the Shore Operations staff upon arrival of your need for assistance boarding the ship. Assistance is only available once embarkation has begun, typically not before 11:30 a.m. For disembarkation procedures, please contact Guest Services once on  board to advise them of your need for assistance. Guest Services staff will provide you with details on the times and meeting location where staff will be available to assist you in disembarking the ship.  

Oxygen:  Guests needing continuous or intermittent oxygen for chronic conditions must make their own arrangements prior to travel. Please contact us or your travel advisor for more information. The following companies have been approved for all oxygen and/or oxygen equipment being delivered to a Holland America Line ship:

Special Needs at Sea

Phone: 1-800-513-4515 (locally at 1-954-585-0575)

Email:  [email protected]  Website: specialneedsatsea.com

ScootAround

Phone: 1-877-478-7827 (locally at 1-780-986-6404))

Email : [email protected]  Website:  http://www.scootaround.com

Oxygen and/or oxygen equipment deliveries will NOT be accepted from any other company.  You are welcome, however, to bring your own oxygen and/or oxygen equipment from your home. Please note that our staff and crew are not permitted to handle your oxygen and/ or oxygen equipment during the embarkation and disembarkation process, thus you must be able to handle your supplies if you bring your own. Please contact the Guest Accessibility Department prior to sailing if you will require oxygen while on your cruise. If you require additional information on the ship’s facilities or ability to accommodate your needs, please feel free to contact the Guest Accessibility Department.

Please Note:  Some airlines have restrictions concerning traveling with oxygen and oxygen containers. It is the traveler’s responsibility to be familiar with and comply with the regulations of the airline on which he/she is traveling.

For information regarding the Transportation Security Administration’s Screening Tips for Persons with Disabilities, please visit the Travelers with Disabilities and Medical Conditions section of their website.

With the exception of qualified service animals for guests with disabilities, animals or pets are not allowed on board our ships. If you plan to bring a service animal, you must call our Guest Accessibility Department. You will need to provide health certificate documentation for the animal in your ports of call.

Please Note:  Your itinerary may include ports of call that have very specific and strict requirements that need to be met prior to your service animal being allowed off the ship. Please be sure you understand the requirements for a service animal to disembark in each port of call. The best places to obtain specific information on required documentation and immunizations for your service animal are the U.S. Department of Agriculture, local customs offices in the specific ports and your service animal’s veterinarian. All documentation and immunization requirements are established by government authorities and not by Holland America Line.

Packing Advice:  We also suggest that you consider placing articles in clear plastic bags inside your baggage to minimize handling by airport security screeners. Pack shoes on top of other contents in your baggage to expedite the screening process. Finally, make sure that you label the inside of your carry-on and checked baggage with your name and contact information. Bear in mind that the screening process for any point of embarkation is similar to that at an airport. As such, all weapons and dangerous devices are prohibited and may result in denied boarding. For complete, updated information regarding travel, please check the official website of the Transportation Security Administration at  tsa.gov .

Please Note:  Firearms, explosives, fireworks, other weapons and knives or sharp blades over two and half inches long and illegal drugs of any kind are prohibited without exception. For safety reasons drones and any other remote controlled aerial devices/ toys are not allowed on board our ship. Extension cords (without surge protectors) are allowed on board when used with proper caution. However, if such devices are determined to pose a hazard, they will be removed and returned the last day of the cruise prior to debark. For additional information regarding prohibited items please visit the Frequently Asked Questions section of hollandamerica.com.

Important:  Do not pack your passport, medications, Express Docs or electronic airline tickets in your checked baggage.

Holland America Line will assist in filling prescriptions. However, please note that additional charges will apply and that not all medications are available in all countries or ports of call.

Please Note:  Persons in possession of illegal drugs are subject to immediate disembarkation and reporting to law enforcement authorities. This could result in legal proceedings. Please keep in mind that the drug laws in many countries can be very restrictive and the penalties severe.

For these purposes, marijuana, even if prescribed for medicinal purposes, is considered an illegal drug as it is prohibited both under U.S. law as well as the laws of all or most of the countries that the ship visits. Prescription Marinol, which is used by some as an alternative to marijuana, is permitted.

Mobility Equipment: The safety of our guests and crew is our number one priority. For this reason:

Scooters and other mobility equipment are required to be securely stored and charged in the guest’s stateroom when not in use and may not be stored in hallways or elevator lobbies.

Guests using mobility aids should select a stateroom that will meet their needs and allow for appropriate storage of their mobility equipment. Most doorways in non-accessible staterooms will not allow for adequate storage of moderate or larger size scooters.

For safety reasons, Holland America Line has also devised recommended size guidelines for the electric mobility equipment used on our ships.

Our Commitment to the Environment

At Holland America Line, cruising is our passion. We are equally passionate about protecting and preserving the pristine destinations that we visit. For many years we have emphasized environmental stewardship and conservation in our operations. We believe that safeguarding our guests, crew, ships, and the environment is the right thing to do and essential to the success of our business.

Our ships are as environmentally sound as they are beautiful. We welcome you to learn more about our commitment to protecting the environment by reviewing our sustainability report at www.hollandamerica.com. Here are just a few of our environmental efforts:

Environmental Management System:   All of our ships are ISO 14001 certified by LRQA, North America.

Environmental Officers:   Stationed on board every ship to provide environmental training and oversee shipboard compliance with environmental requirements.

Reducing waste:  Our waste management approach focuses on reducing the volume and toxicity of waste we generate. We have gone to great lengths to remove hazardous chemicals from our operations including dry cleaning, medical and photographic chemicals, and cleaning supplies. Whenever possible, we reuse existing materials and equipment, and we recycle many materials where recycling infrastructure is available at our ports of call. We donate reusable goods from our ships to nonprofit organizations and working with port authorities to identify additional vendors who are capable of recycling cruise ship waste.

Conserving Water and Reducing Waste Water Discharges:   We make the most of our water. Conserving water results in less energy spent making water, thus saving fuel. The more efficient we can be with our water use, the less wastewater is generated, treated and discharged when we’re done using it — saving energy and limiting discharges.

To accomplish these initiatives, we use low-flow systems for toilets and showers in the staterooms, which conserves the amount of water used on board and therefore the quantity of wastewater treated and discharged.

Guest Invitation to Environmental Excellence

We invite and encourage all of our guests to assist us as we work to protect the environment, both on board and while ashore. You can make a difference in the following ways:

• Towel Reuse Option:   Similar to many fine hotels, you can obtain fresh towels simply by leaving the used ones on the floor. To reuse your towel, simply hang it on the bathroom door or towel rack. Reusing your towels will reduce energy, water and detergent consumption required for daily washings.
• Turn Off Stateroom Lights and TV When Not in Use:   As when ashore, energy conservation goes a long way to helping us protect the environment.
• Water Conservation:   Just as when ashore, water conservation is an important environmental initiative. Please help us reduce water use.

Medical Facilities & Services

Each Holland America Line ship has an onboard Medical Center staffed by licensed physicians and critical care nurses. While not a full-service hospital, the Medical Center is well equipped to handle most emergencies, as well as routine medical procedures.

A customary fee will be charged for services and medications dispensed. Motion sickness medications are available for purchase onboard. If you become ill or injured during the voyage and your diagnostic and/or care requirements exceed the capabilities of the Medical Center, you will be transferred to medical facilities ashore. Please note that Medicare and many health insurance plans DO NOT cover the cost of medical care at sea, in foreign countries, or for air evacuation. For this reason, guests are encouraged to obtain travel medical insurance prior to travel.

If you have a chronic medical condition, please bring a recent report from your physician. The medical staff on board is not available for daily care, unless you are hospitalized in the Medical Center. You must be able to care for yourself. If you are unable to function independently with respect to eating, dressing or attending the ship’s safety briefings, you must bring a caregiver with you. Due to the limited medical facilities on board, we will not accept reservations for infants 6 months or younger for non- Transocean sailings, 12 months or younger for Transocean sailings at time cruise commences or women who will be 24 or more weeks pregnant at the time their cruise with Holland America Line concludes. If you are pregnant, please provide a medical note from your physician stating the expected due date and confirming your medical fitness to travel.

Keep medication close at hand in your purse or in a carry-on bag In the event of unexpected travel delays and emergencies, please bring additional prescription medication for at least 2 weeks beyond the length of your travel itinerary along with a list of the prescription names, dosage amounts and times taken for all medications, because it may not be available on board or in the ports of call.

In addition to twice daily routine doctor’s hours, medical services are available 24 hours a day. Please dial 911 in an emergency. Unless otherwise posted, the Medical Center hours are as follows:

• Port Day: 8:00am - 10:00am | 4:30pm - 6:30pm
• Sea Day: 9:00am - 12:00nn | 3:00pm - 6:00pm
• Embarkation/Disembarkation Day: 8:00am - 9:00am | 5:00pm - 6:00pm

Infants & Pregnancy:  Because of the limited medical facilities, infants 6 months or younger at the time the cruise commences and women who will be 24 or more weeks pregnant during the course of their travel are not permitted to participate in the cruise. If you are pregnant, please provide a medical note from your physician stating your expected due date and medical fitness to travel. 

Travel Well®:  International travelers can take a number of simple steps to avoid potential health problems before and during travel while preserving their health and wellness during travel. In order to Travel Well®, international travelers should contact their physicians, local health departments, or a travel medicine clinic at least six to eight weeks before departure to receive current health information on the countries they plan to visit, to obtain vaccinations and preventative medications as indicated, and to address any other special needs. Washing hands frequently with soap and water will greatly reduce the risk of contracting illness and infections while traveling. In the absence of running water, use alcohol-based hand sanitizers to protect your health. This is especially important before and after meals, or whenever you are in contact with common surfaces (e.g. railings, buttons, door handles, countertops, faucets, etc.), after handling money and pens, and after using the restroom. Travelers’ diarrhea (TD) is the most common illness to affect travelers. Each year between 20%–50% of international travelers (an estimated 10 million people) develop diarrhea. The onset of TD usually occurs within the first week of travel but may occur at any time even after returning home. Therefore, it may be in your best interest to plan ahead and pack some anti-diarrheal medication with your other medications.

There are high-risk destinations such as developing countries of Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, where chlorinated tap water is not available or where hygiene and sanitation are poor. Travelers should be cautioned that only the following may be safe to drink: hot brewed beverages, such as tea and coffee, made with boiled water; or canned or bottled beverages, including water, carbonated mineral water and soft drinks. Other consumables of concern may include ice made from local water, fresh uncooked salad greens or raw vegetables and sliced fruit that have been washed in local water, as well as dairy products such as milk, cream or ice cream products that have not been pasteurized.

Uncompromizing Commitment to Safety

We have a great responsibility to safeguard the well-being of people and the oceans we sail upon. Ongoing training and adherence to rigorous standards are vital to preserving and protecting our guests, our employees and the environment.

Safety:  For 140 years, the safety and security of our guests has been our highest priority. Every decision we make starts with that basic rule. Safety begins with the design of our ships.

Then we hire the right people, make sure they receive ongoing training, conduct drills and exercises to practice that training, and perform regular audits and inspections of our operations. We work within a comprehensive regulatory system in which multiple governmental authorities oversee every safety aspect of our operations. For more information about our safety and security procedures when you board the ship, see the “From the Captain” booklet in your stateroom.

Environment:  When it comes to protecting the environment in which we sail, our commitment is second to none. We ask that you refrain from pouring or discarding anything overboard, and that you dispose of solid waste in the appropriate containers indicated on board. We ask that you take the same simple efforts to conserve water and energy as you would at home, and that you refrain from introducing foreign objects or liquids to the toilets.

Together we can make a tremendous difference!

Safety Essentials

Upon embarkation, please make sure you watch the Safety Video on your stateroom/suite TV. The videos can be seen on the stateroom TV guest channel for 24 hours after departure. In addition to watching the Safety Video, please read the Safety information located on the back of your stateroom/suite door. It provides information on what to do in case of an emergency, as well as the routes to your Muster Station. We strongly suggest you take the opportunity to visit your Muster Station and familiarize yourself with the route. It also shows you how to correctly put on your lifejacket. Please practice wearing your life jacket. Special life jackets are available for children and infants. If these have not yet been provided, please ask your Stateroom Steward.

Disembarkation

Disembarkation procedures.

In order to coordinate transfers and luggage handling with post- cruise arrangements, a disembarkation form will be distributed to guests for whom we have no disembarkation information or guests for whom we have no flight schedule. Please fill out the form and return it to the Guest Services as soon as possible.

We will provide disembarkation information shortly before the end of your cruise, which will outline important procedures regarding customs formalities, luggage handling, travel arrangements, disembarkation and other information.

Please Note:  For those without pre-arrangements we recommend purchasing a transfer onboard before disembarking. In many ports taxi lines can be long and distances to private transportation can be lengthy.

On the last night of your cruise you will need to place your baggage outside your stateroom before you retire. Please do not place your baggage over the emergency floor lighting. Please make sure that the appropriate baggage tags are affixed to your baggage, because the tags include your departing flight information.

As previously mentioned in the BAGGAGE POLICIES & PACKING ADVICE section,  you should not place valuables in your tagged luggage . Holland America Line recommends that each guest keep all personal identification, electronic airline tickets, customs forms, medications and other important items along with the clothes and shoes he or she intends to wear the last day.  Place them in a carry-on bag or keep them with you so you can access them easily. Please remember that important items such as perishables, cash, credit or debit cards, jewelry, gold, silver or similar valuables, securities, financial instruments, records or other valuable or business documents, laptop computers, cellular telephones, cameras, or other video or electronic equipment, hearing aids, electric wheelchairs, scooters, binoculars, film, videotape, computer disks, audio disks, tapes or CDs should not be placed in the baggage you placed outside your stateroom. Also, you will need your ship card when you disembark. You should have it available at the gangway when disembarking so please  DO NOT  pack it in your tagged luggage.

On the morning of disembarkation, guests with no credit card payment need to settle their onboard account on the morning of disembarkation. Promotional credits are nonrefundable. Cash deposits can be made on the last day of the cruise.

The ship’s estimated arrival time at the port of disembarkation is shown on your cruise itinerary. Generally, the ship is subject to certain government procedural requirements upon arrival. Once completed, all guests will be allowed to disembark.

Disembarkation is usually completed within two to four hours after the ship’s arrival. All guests are required to disembark the ship at this time. Outbound flights should be scheduled with plenty of time for transfers from the ship to the airport. The amount of time you allow to transfer from the ship to the airport will depend on the disembarkation port.

Please Note:  Please read the LUGGAGE DIRECT SERVICE section, for more detailed information. The Luggage Direct Service is the most relaxing and hassle free disembarkation Holland America Line offers.
