Why Families Love Holland America Line

Onboard your Holland America Line family vacation, all the kids in your crew will love Club HAL. Here they’ll be able to join other kids their age for arts and crafts, sports, video game competitions, scavenger hunts, challenging team games and themed parties. While kids 3-6 are enjoying “Ships Ahoy Pirate Treasure Hunt Adventure,” tweens can compete in an ice-cream eating contest while teens drink mocktails while learning how to make jewelry or playing volleyball against the staff.

All sailings also include BBC Earth in Concert — innovative programs that feature a massive backdrop of BBC Earth nature footage paired with live music. Your family will love seeing eye-to-eye with wildlife and witnessing incredible scenes that fill you with awe and leave you with a new perspective on the planet.

Swimming with dolphins in Mexico

On port days, if you aim to visit a “boring old” museum or archeological site, you can leave your kids onboard in the safe, capable hands of Club HAL staff. That way, they can happily play with their friends while you can fully absorb the art and culture at your destination. Or explore the world together through a wide range of award-winning shoreside experiences that suit the interests and activity levels of everyone in your family. Just imagine how much your kids will like swimming with dolphins in Mexico or the Caribbean, getting their “brick on” at the original Legoland in Northern Europe or dogsledding in Alaska.

Options for Everyone

Dining with Holland America Line is easy for even the pickiest of eaters. At any onboard restaurant, kids can enjoy mac and cheese, pizza and more from the kids’ menu, or order half portions from the main menu to discover new dishes. Speaking of options, accommodations come in an array of sizes and configurations with family-friendly options such as sofa beds and connecting rooms. Plus, some ships feature family staterooms with beds for five and an extra bathroom.
