Holland America is where Premium meets Value
Most European and Mediterranean cities grew along coastlines where transporting was easier by ship. This left the world with beautiful destinations perfectly accessible by Cruising. Read in this Holland America Cruise Review how this company with 150 years of experience has mastered the waters of cruising.
Is Holland America right for you?
- Like Celebrity, Holland America is also a premium tier cruise line, however there are surprising differences. For example, the parent company to Holland America is the Carnival Corporation, which infuses incredible value to this Premium Line.
- While Holland America does offer cruises throughout most major destinations of the world, with being based out of Rotterdam, Netherlands, it has established an incredibly strong presence throughout Europe and the Mediterranean, making it one of the most notable cruise lines in this part of the world.
- Because of Holland America's value, premier quality, and overall European presence, this cruise line is perfect for cheap vacations to Europe. And with ports of call like Venice, Italy, this is an easy choice for couples to Romantically celebrate their most important Anniversaries together thru one of the Europe Cruises.
Is Holland America's service good?
- Again, the combination of Holland America's 150 year experience and 'no-nonsense' European approach to cruising with Carnival's 'Fun-Ship, value offer' is masterfully infused throughout the experience. From the glamorous Holland American Dining Rooms (picture below), to the famed Carnival Cabin service of towel animals (see pic), the pair noticeably play off one another strength's of; Fun & Tradition.
Is Holland America's Entertainment & Dining good?
- Aboard Holland America, you can expect to find the perfect balance between the generous buffet style dining and fun shows that Carnival has set the standard, and the fine European Restaurant experience where reservations and dressing up are still the expectation of Holland's European tradition.

Are the Holland America Cruise Ships nice?
- In a previous post about Celebrity Cruise Lines, I said the Eden Room of the APEX was one of my most favorite public Cruise Spaces. While the Eden room will always remain one of my favorite public spaces, Holland America's public spaces will be my first most favorite. These warm, inviting yet traditionally decorated spaces wrap you like a blanket and you never want to leave. This is perfect for longer cruises, where a break from noise, and activity is needed.
Holland America Eurodam: Public Space
- Tip: While public spaces of Holland America ships are impeccably traditional, you may find the 'no-nonsense' Netherland mindset taking over in the cabins and you should anticipate less glamor and to be decorated with only the basics.

Do people like Holland America's Excursions?
- When it comes to excursions, with Holland America's enormous presence throughout Europe and the Mediterranean, you simply cant go wrong. You will find a wide variety of carefully curated day trips, tours, and self-guided options available, with each port of call having at least one or more unique attractions.
- Tip: Europe continues to be heavily over touristed, and many of it's walk ways and streets are very steep and/or uneven. This means if you either have special needs, walking difficulty or even a fear of heights, some sights throughout Europe and the Mediterranean may not be appropriate for you, and you should first either speak with your travel advisor or carefully read the description before purchasing one of these.
Tip: Due to European over tourism you should book early and work with your travel advisor for the best Months to most enjoy your Mediterranean holiday.
