Exotic holidays are calling. Listen, and you'll hear the joyous, exuberant beat of a Caribbean steel band, the thunder of Venezuela's Angel Falls, the rustle of palm fronds in tropical breezes. Holland America answers with 16 carefree cruises ranging from 7 to 16 days. On nine intimate ships decorated with five stars each.
The Joys of Holiday Cruising. Your ship has come in, and it's decked out for the holidays with fresh evergreen wreaths, massed poinsettias and holiday cheer at every turn. You may even order a miniature Norfolk pine, fully decorated, to add holiday magic to your stateroom.
To the most extensive menus at sea, we add tempting entrees of turkey, venison and goose; festive desserts such as English plum pudding alight with flaming brandy; goblets brimming with eggnog and bubbly champagne.
Every night, Holland America unwraps new entertainment: a dazzling lineup of comedians, illusionists, vocalists, spectacular production shows. Plus, there will be parties, parties, parties. The Captain's Welcome Aboard reception. A cork-popping New Year's Eve celebration. Perhaps even an elegantly catered gathering in your own spacious stateroom.
