Heritage Cruises are special sailings set to take place during the entirety of the cruise line’s 150th anniversary, revisiting some of the historic ports across the globe. Holland America Line takes guests to some of the most popular ports in the cruise line’s history, as well as ports sharing its region-specific story through historical moments, fun facts, photos and more.
While at sea, guests experience the cruise line’s Dutch seafaring heritage with classic games like Sjoelen, a Dutch tabletop shuffleboard game; and throwbacks like a Historic Happy Hour, featuring prices and items from the line’s earlier menus, including cocktails for $1.
