Holland America Launches ‘Book Early & Save’ Offer for 2026 Summer & Beyond

Holland America Line is launching a “Book Early & Save” offer on select cruises for 2026 summer and beyond in honour of being named  “Best Alaska Cruise Overall” by Forbes Vetted. 

Travellers who book by September 30, can enjoy bonus perks and added amenities with a $1,400 cruise package included in their fare on a variety of itineraries like 2026 Alaska cruises and Cruisetours.

The Forbes Vetted “Best Alaska Cruise Overall” recognition cites Holland America Line’s “Alaska Up Close” programming, onboard wildlife experts, Glacier Bay experiences and nearly 80 years of Alaska expertise as key reasons behind the honor.

“With our ‘Book Early & Save’ offer, we’re inviting travellers to plan ahead and take advantage of exceptional value while exploring the beauty of Alaska with the cruise line that knows it best.”
