HAL becomes latest cruise line to extend cancellations
Holland America Line has cancelled cruises on all ships until mid-December.
Guests who have already paid in full will receive a future cruise credit (FCC) of 125% of the base cruise fare.
Those yet to pay their balance will receive a FCC of double the deposit paid. The minimum FCC is $100.
The FCC is valid for 12 months from the date of issue and may be used to book sailings departing up to 31 December 2022.
Guests who prefer a cash refund can use the Cancellation Preferences form no later than 15 September.
HAL confirmed it will protect travel agents’ commissions on bookings for cancelled cruises that were paid in full and for the total amount of the FCC when rebooked.
