Sale adds value of up to $2,300 per stateroom; additional offer includes bonus gift card with the purchase of a gift card – and can be used on Black Friday cruise bookings

SEATTLE, Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Holland America Line will join the Black Friday frenzy this holiday season with a weeklong Black Friday Sale that offers a free Wi-Fi package for all new bookings and a special bonus gift card with all gift card purchases. Running from Nov. 25 through Dec. 1, 2020, the Black Friday Sale also features complimentary specialty dining, a beverage package, gratuities and more from the current Save Now, Cruise Later promotion, putting the value of the combined offers at up to $2,300 per stateroom.

“Combining the free Wi-Fi value of the Black Friday Sale with the already included extra perks of signature dining, drinks and gratuities gives our guests the biggest savings of the year — which is what Black Friday is all about,” said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line. “Everyone is dreaming about getting out and traveling these days. So why not take advantage of an unbeatable cruise sale with amazing value to plan that trip next year.”

Premium Wi-Fi for Cruise Bookings
The Black Friday Sale features a free Premium Internet Package for the first and second guests in any stateroom category for winter 2021 through summer 2022 itineraries (excluding Grand Voyages).

Save Now, Cruise Later adds Beverage, Dining Perks and More
The Black Friday Sale combines with Holland America Line’s Save Now, Cruise Later promotion, which includes low fares for third and fourth guests in non-suite staterooms, making it an ideal time to book a family vacation. Travelers who book a cruise (excluding Grand Voyages) or an Alaska Land+Sea Journey departing through spring 2022 also receive the following great perks in addition to the free Wi-Fi:

• Signature Beverage Package.
• Complimentary gratuities.
• Signature Dining Package, which includes one evening in both Pinnacle Grill and Canaletto specialty restaurants.
• 50% reduced deposits.

Bookings under the Save Now Cruise Late promotion must be made by Dec. 8, 2020; however, to combine with the Black Friday Sale they must be made by Dec. 1.

Bonus Gift Card Gives Shoppers More to Spend
Also part of the Black Friday Sale, cruisers who purchase a $500 gift card will receive an additional $50 bonus gift card. A $1,000 gift card comes with a $100 bonus card, and the purchase of two $1,000 gift cards means a $200 gift card bonus. To make the offer even sweeter, guests who make a reservation under the Black Friday Sale can purchase gift cards and apply them to the booking for even more savings. 

Holland America Line gift cards can be applied toward a cruise booking, pre-cruise purchases such as shore excursions, or added to a shipboard account for onboard spending, including specialty restaurants, gift shop, spa services, gratuities, shore excursions, beverages and more.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — For some, it may seem strange to think about flying out of state or traveling to the home of someone else for Thanksgiving plans in light of the pandemic. However, not everyone will be staying put for the holiday. 

We surveyed more than 2,000 people about their thanksgiving plans and who they will be spending time with during the pandemic. Almost half of Americans took the coronavirus into account when making plans, but not everyone. 

Key findings:

• Only 3% of Americans plan to fly to another state over the Thanksgiving holiday. The majority (59%) are staying home, while 19% are driving to another city within their state.
• Coronavirus risk was the major deciding factor for making Thanksgiving plans, according to 49% of consumers. The next most popular consideration was what their family wants to do (41%), followed by traditions (31%).
• 57% of Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving with people they do not live with. Notably, 22% of Gen Z will see their grandparents in-person, as will 11% of millennials (7% overall).
• 4 in 10 respondents said they expect arguments at the dinner table this Thanksgiving. Of that group, most (40%) think politics will be the cause.
