Holland America Line has announced the kickoff of its Kids Cruise Free promotion, just in time for families to plan their end-of-year holiday getaways. The offer entitles kids ages 5 to 7 who are sailing as the third and fourth guests in the same stateroom to cruise for free.

If your family would prefer the warm waters of Mexico or the Caribbean to a chilly winter break spent a home, you’ll need to book by Nov. 18 to take advantage of this special offer. The promotion is good on select holiday sailings and other cruises scheduled through May 31, 2022, excluding Alaska cruise tours and Grand World Voyages. It’s also limited to two children sailing for free per eligible booking.

"Now that kids ages 5 and older can receive the COVID-19 vaccine, getting out and seeing the world is on everyone's mind," Holland America Line’s President Gus Antorcha said in a press release. "A multigenerational cruise is the perfect way to return to travel, and we can't wait to welcome our junior guests and feel the excitement as everyone is able to explore the world together again."

After the holiday season has ended, Holland America ships — including the Pinnacle Class Rotterdam and Nieuw Statendam, and the Signature Class Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam — will continue to explore Mexican and Caribbean waters from East Coast home ports. Meanwhile, on the West Coast, Koningsdam and Zuiderdam, will sail to and around Hawaii, along the California coast and to areas of Mexico, even transiting the Panama Canal.

In late spring 2022, Eurodam, Koningsdam and Zuiderdam will be sailing in Alaska, Zaandam will be cruising in Canada/New England, and Nieuw Statendam and Rotterdam be conducting European sailing.

Families can continue to cruise under the same Kids Cruise Free offer on spring departures through May 2022.

With the Kids Cruise Free offer, fares start at $449 per person, based on double occupancy, which means that a family of four could take a cruise vacation together for just $898.

On holiday sailings, cruise fares begin at $549 per person, double occupancy.
