HALL, the History Channel partner for immersive shore excursions

Holland America Line and A+E’s the HISTORY Channel have teamed up for a new, first-of-its-kind collaboration.

It aims to give guests a more immersive experience of HAL’s destinations.

The exclusive partnership will feature custom itineraries and shore excursions operated by Holland America and curated in partnership with The HISTORY Channel.

“With us, history isn’t just told, it is experienced,” said Kacy Cole, CMO for Holland America Line.

“As two iconic brands rooted in storytelling, we are uniquely positioned to bring history to life through custom itineraries and shore excursions.”

Several cruises will be curated in partnership with The HISTORY Channel. These include the 14-Day Arctic Journey & Northern Lights, the 7-Day Mediterranean Marvels of Pompeii and the 7-Day Norwegian Fjords with Hardangerfjord cruise itineraries.

Additional themed departures will include the eastern Mediterranean with a focus on ancient empires; northern Europe and its Viking heritage; Arctic encounters and the region’s history of polar exploration.

These cruises will be announced at a later date.

“We are thrilled to join with Holland America Line on this groundbreaking, long-term partnership,” said David DeSocio, EVP, ad sales partnerships, A+E/The HISTORY Channel.

Itineraries and shore excursions created through the partnership are now available to book through the Start Your Journey sale.

Additional itineraries and shore excursions for 2025, 2026 and 2027 will continue to be released.
