Exciting things are on the horizon for Holland America Cruises.
This include a partnership with O, The Oprah Magazine and new cruises to Cuba starting at the end of the year. Here is a little more information about both of these exciting opportunities for travelers.
The O, The Oprah Magazine Adventure Of Your Life Cruises
Since Oprah very rarely partners with anyone, this partnership with Holland America is a big deal. These cruises were created as a way to inspire guests to open their minds and uncover what their potential is while seeing new cultures and different places. There will be several cruises to choose from including sailings to the Caribbean. For those that want to see Oprah in person, she will be making an appearance during a cruise from July 15-22, that departs from Seattle. Guests will have the opportunity to reserve seats, that are complimentary, to see a live appearance of Oprah. Other cruises will include:
