Holland America Line has unveiled its 2026 festive season programme, featuring holiday celebrations, seasonal menus and entertainment across its fleet. The cruise line is also offering a Fly&Cruise package with up to £600 per person in flight credit on Caribbean sailings.
Guests can enjoy Brunch with Santa, the Feast of the Seven Fishes and a range of festive activities at sea. Ships will feature seasonal decorations, tree-lighting ceremonies, carol singing, festive films and family-friendly entertainment. New Year’s Eve celebrations will include a champagne toast.
“The holidays are a time when traditions and togetherness matter most, and travelling doesn’t mean leaving those traditions behind,” said Michael Stendebach, vice president of food, beverage and rooms division at Holland America Line.
The seasonal menus will combine traditional holiday dishes with international flavours. New offerings include Magnolia Gingerbread Cake, created in partnership with Magnolia Bakery. Guests can also enjoy seasonal drinks such as Christmas Cocoamint Coffee and festive cocktails.
The Fly&Cruise package offers additional benefits, including a pre-cruise hotel stay and transfers. Sample itineraries include a seven-day Eastern Caribbean holiday aboard Nieuw Amsterdam and a 14-day Southern Caribbean holiday aboard Volendam.
