The Cruise Voucher is valid for one (1) oceanview stateroom for two (2) persons, including winner (the “Consumer(s)”) on any Holland America Line® brand cruise on an Alaskan itinerary of seven (7) days duration on a sailing completed no later than September 30, 2026, subject to availability and blackout dates as determined solely by Holland America Line Limited (“Cruise”). Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”): $3,222.00 USD.  Actual ARV of Cruise will be determined at time of booking and is dependent on dates of travel, duration of voyage, seasonal rates, and itinerary.  Any difference between stated and actual value will not be awarded. Cruise Vouchers are subject to all terms imposed by Holland America Line Limited (“HAL”) and apply to cruise fare, government taxes and fees, required cruise expenses, and crew appreciation only.  Cruise fare includes all regular onboard meals and entertainment. Except as expressly provided in these Rules, alcoholic beverages, baggage fees and travel expenses (including but not limited to all shore-side hotel accommodations, airline fees and/or ground transfers to and from the ship), excursion fees, gratuities, discretionary hotel/dining charges, meals in alternate dining venues, onboard expenditures, boutique purchases, and any other expenses not specified as being included are the sole responsibility of the Consumer.  All reservations and Cruise arrangements including, without limitation, the dates and times, are subject to availability (as determined solely by HAL), and restrictions such as capacity restrictions. Blackout dates including holidays may apply. HAL does not guarantee the Cruise will be available on the exact sailing dates requested by Consumer.

Subject to availability, the Consumer may upgrade to a higher cabin category by paying the difference between the Cruise covered by the Cruise Voucher and the cabin category of their choosing (if available).  As with any customer booking a cruise, HAL will retain the option to facilitate the Consumer adding additional vacation features such as internet access, drink packages or upgraded room types (e.g., balcony) at the price available, as specified on the HAL website at the time of Consumer booking. The sailing must be completed no later than September 30, 2026. 

Cruise Vouchers are not redeemable for cash, are non-transferable, and the Consumer who receives the Cruise Voucher must book the Cruise and sail using the Cruise Voucher.  Should the Consumer fail to embark, any other guests sailing in the cabin will be held responsible for the full cost of the Cruise.  Cruise Vouchers are valid on new bookings only, not valid on previously booked sailings.  No changes will be made to travel details once any element(s) of the travel arrangements have been booked, except at HAL’s sole discretion. Cruise Vouchers cannot be combined with any other offers, including but not limited to any HAL casino offer, any general HAL offer, or any third-party offer. No refund or credits shall be provided for any unused portion(s) of the Cruise Voucher. Any portion of the Cruise Voucher not accepted by the Consumer will be forfeited, and HAL shall not be responsible for any inability of a Consumer to accept or use any portion of the Cruise Voucher for any reason.

Cruise guests must meet all eligibility requirements to sail as described on HAL’s website as of the date of departure unless the Cruise guest is the child of the Consumer (in which case such minor guests must be accompanied at all times during Cruise trip by the Consumer). All Cruise travelers must have all necessary identification and/or Cruise documents (including, but not limited to, a valid passport, visa (if applicable) and all other necessary travel documents, which include any health certifications/proofs of vaccination that are required by HAL and/or applicable governments/ports) required for chosen Cruise. Cruise is subject to the terms and conditions of HAL’s Cruise Contract. As set forth in more detail in the Cruise Contract, HAL reserves the right to refuse to embark any traveler, at any time if, in the sole opinion of HAL, a traveler is unfit for any reason for the Cruise. HAL shall not be responsible for any cancellations, delays, diversions or substitution or any acts or omissions whatsoever by Cruise operators or any other persons providing any Cruise-related services or accommodations. Consumer and any guests are also responsible for obtaining travel insurance (and all other forms of insurance) at their option and hereby acknowledge that HAL has not and will not obtain or provide travel insurance or any other form of insurance. Lost, stolen or damaged Cruise Vouchers, will not be replaced or exchanged.
