Family Travel on Holland America Line
According to Cruise Line International Association, family cruising is one of the fastest growing segments of cruising. Holland America Line attracts more than 25,000 kids and their families aboard its 13 ships every year. With a range of activities for children, teens and adults, the premium line especially attracts multi-generational groups.
When choosing a Holland America Line cruise for a family vacation, there's always something for each member of the family to do - from kids to grandparents - either together or separately. For example, families can play together in one of the ship's swimming pools. Go to a live show or movie. Or just enjoy being together as a family again.
Since even the closest families need time apart, a cruise allows the grown-ups to take in a show, sample the ship's fine dining, while kids can take advantage of Club HAL or teen's activities.
Family Reunion Program
Special Family Reunion Program pricing is available on all Holland America Line cruises. The reduced fare group rates are applicable for families booking eight staterooms or more on any cruise and includes the following amenities:
- Special group pricing

The Head-of-the-Family Reward is applicable for families booking eight or more staterooms. It includes the amenities listed above plus:
- One stateroom in the group to receive a complimentary upgrade from an outside stateroom to a verandah stateroom.
For parents traveling with children in the same cabin on individual fares, Holland America Line offers reasonable third and fourth berth cruise fares. Actual price will depend on itinerary and cruise length.
"Reuniting the whole family on a family cruise vacation was a great way for all of us to see one another and have fun together. Holland America Line helped us plan the whole family cruise event, and the ship's crew couldn't have been more welcoming to everyone in our group. We so many choices on board and at each port, every member of the family has had the trip of their dreams - and we all got to spend time together."
