Holland America Line adds free flights for UK cruise passengers

Holland America Line is adding free air travel from London and select regional UK airports, as well as air transfers, to select 2021 Europe sailings for UK cruise passengers.

The offer can be combined with the Save Now, Cruise Later: Have It All package, if booked by September 30.

The Save Now, Cruise Later: Have It All package includes, a Signature Beverage Package, gratuities and a Signature Dining Package for dinning in Pinnacle Grill and Canaletto speciality restaurants for one evening, 50% reduced deposits, and free Wi-Fi for suites, at ?3,200 per stateroom.

The free air offer is valid on a variety of 2021 Northern Europe and Mediterranean itineraries from May through October, aboard the Nieuw Statendam, Westerdam and Zuiderdam, and on the new ship Rotterdam?s inaugural season. 

The ?Save Now, Cruise Later: Have it All? offer and amenities will expire on September 30 but the free air offer will be available on select 2021 Northern Europe and Mediterranean itineraries, until October 31, 2020, when reservations are made through Holland America Line?s Flight Ease programme. The air travel must be booked by December 31, 2020.

?Enhancing our latest promotion with free air is our way of showing our deep appreciation for all of our UK guests who are ready to get back to cruising and continue to dream about their next holiday with Holland America Line,? said Lynn Narraway, Holland America Line?s managing director UK and Ireland. ?Nothing compares to the value of a cruise, and adding air to an offer that is already a steal-deal, makes it a perfect time to book a Holland America Line cruise in Europe, for next year.?

Holland America Line offers a Cancellation Protection Programme that can be purchased for new cruise bookings or existing bookings, before the date cancellation fees begin to accrue. Guests can cancel up to 24-hours before cruise departure with a Standard plan, and right up to departure under the Platinum plan and receive refunds between 80-90% of the eligible amounts paid. The cost varies depending on the cruise fare and is non-refundable. 

Agents who book clients on summer 2021 Alaska, Canada & Europe cruises by September 30, 2020 will receive 2% bonus commission. Travel partners can earn an extra 2% bonus commission, when they book select 2021 Alaska, Europe and Canada & New England cruises by the end of September.  The promotion details are available at Promo VG, a code in its booking system, which gives agents details on terms and conditions. The offer is not available on certain fares, such as net fares, where a tour operator receives a special fare and packages around a cruise.
