Kids Cruise Free to Exciting Locales
Whether it's a family that loves to travel the world or one that's
looking to stay closer to home, Holland America Line is including a
variety of destinations with the kids cruise free offer. Families
can book a sailing to Alaska,
Canada/New England, Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico, Pacific Coast and through the famed
Panama Canal.
One of the most sought-after family vacations is a cruise to
Alaska, and no one explores The
Last Frontier like Holland America Line. Perfect for a
multigenerational vacation or a smaller family unit, every port has
an adventure that's sure to excite all ages, like dog sledding on a
glacier, panning for gold, a lumberjack show, whale watching,
heading out on a leisure tour aboard a Bering Sea crabbing boat and
more. On board, younger guests can earn their Junior Ranger Badge
from the Glacier Bay National Park Ranger.
Canada/New England is a
region rich in maritime history, stunning scenery and engaging
experiences for the whole family. In Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, fans of
Anne of Green Gables can visit the famed home that inspired the
novels and learn all about author Lucy
Maude Montgomery. Maritime buffs can head to the lighthouse
at Peggy's Cove from Halifax and
families who like getting out in nature can bike through stunning
Acadia National Park.
Whether it's history, art, architecture, culture, cuisine or fun
in the sun, Europe is a
continent of riches for families that like a touch of everything.
In Stockholm, Sweden, see the
impressive Vasa battleship that sank in 1628 and was salvaged in
1961. History comes to life in Athens,
Greece, where families can explore the Parthenon, and a call
at Alexandria, Egypt, opens the
opportunity to head to Cairo and
see the Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx and cruise the Nile River. Museums
abound in Europe, from
Viking-centric exhibits to art galleries to museums that house
ancient relics.
