Holland America is known for their upscale cruise ships and refined service. As a premium cruise line, their brochure prices are often out of reach for budget travelers. Thankfully, if you've always wanted to go on a Holland America cruise or simply want to go on a cruise within this year, the classic cruise line has just announced their Sail & Save sale. Besides providing fares that are up to 50% off, the Sail & Save sale offers free upgrades, free or reduced cruise fares for the third or fourth guest, reduced airfare, and a discount of up to $2,000 for Collectors' voyages. While these cruises offer big savings, they're largely cruise one way and fly the other ones, so keep the cost of the flight home in mind. All prices do not include government fees and taxes.
Of particular interest to San Francisco Bay Area residents are the following options:
17-Day Panama Canal: Interior cabin on the ms Zuiderdam for $1,899 per person. Departs from San Francisco on October 2, 2012 and disembarks at Fort Lauderdale, FL.
14-Day Circle Hawaii: If you can find a cheap flight down to San Diego, perhaps via Southwest or Virgin America, this sailing may be worth it. It offers an interior cabin on the ms Oosterdam for $1,299 per person. Departs from San Diego on February 25 and March 17, 2012 and disembarks back at San Diego.
21-Day Mexico and Hawaii Collectors: Another San Diego sailing. Interior cabin on the ms Oosterdam for $1,899 per person. Departs from San Diego on February 18, February 25 and March 10, 2012 and disembarks back at San Diego.
Even if you're not planning to cruise this year, enter their sweepstakes to win a 7-day cruise to a destination of your choice. You just never know when you'll get lucky.
