Holland America ’09 grand voyages unveiled
Three Holland America Line ships will offer four grand voyages next year, ranging from 50 to 117 days.
Rotterdam’s 117-day Grand World Voyage departs on January 19 from Los Angeles.
The 68-day Grand South America Voyage leaves on January 2 and the 50-day Grand Mediterranean Voyage departs March 11 on Prinsendam, both from Fort Lauderdale.
Amsterdam’s 67-day Grand Australia and New Zealand cruise departs on September 26 from Seattle.
A range of early booking offers are available for reservations made by Mary 23.
These vary depending on cruise and cabin category but may include onboard credit, pre-paid gratuities, an exclusive shore side event, initial in-cabin bar set-up and a bottle of Champagne.
Richard Meadows, executive vice president, marketing, sales and guest programmes, said: “Early booking amenities are our way of thanking the full-cruise guests for choosing to spend an extended period of time with us.
“The Grand Voyages grow more popular every year, and the incredible amenities encourage guests to book early so they get the cabin of their choice and don’t miss out on the entire adventure.â€
