Crew appreciation charges are daily gratuities added to your onboard account to recognise the team members on board. The amount is paid in USD and is based on your stateroom type. The charge is subject to adjustment at your discretion at any time during the cruise.

All onboard purchases and services are charged in USD to your account by using your stateroom keycard. Cash is not accepted for individual transactions but can be used in the casino. At the end of your cruise, you will be able to retrieve a final statement from Navigator, and your card will be charged only for the actual amount of your purchases.

Guests can bring one 750ml bottle of wine or champagne onboard. However, a corkage fee of US$20 will be applied to each bottle.

Wine purchased during company-sponsored shore excursions that visit local wineries is exempt from the onboard corkage fee (offer limited to one bottle of wine per person).

Holland America Line highly recommends that all guests carry a passport valid for at least six months beyond the completion date of your travel. Passports are normally surrendered to and held by the pursers onboard to facilitate clearances in ports of call. It is prudent to photocopy the identification page of your passport and pack it separately in case of loss or damage to the original.

Infants must be at least 6 months of age at the time of embarkation. Children must be at least 12 months of age at the time of embarkation on trans-ocean crossings and on remote itineraries.
