Why do so many military and veteran folks prefer Holland America Cruises?
Holland America has been in the cruising business for 142 years — so these folks are experts at cruising and hospitality at sea.
The Holland America fleet includes 14 ships, sailing to more than 100 countries and all seven continents — from 3-day cruises to 110-day grand world voyages.
If we had to choose two words to describe Holland America, we’d say “dignified and understated.” The third word would be affordable. Holland America offers better value than almost any other cruise line.
All of their ships are considered “spacious mid-sized” — big enough to have all the bells and whistles of luxury and entertainment, but with fewer people, shorter lines, and a much more manageable layout.
If you’d like this to be the year you take a 111-day voyage around the world from Fort Lauderdale, you can do it in a 1,200-square-foot luxury penthouse cabin on the ms Amsterdam for a mere $85,000 per person. Hey — your military discount from us would be about $5,000, if that helps!
Don’t worry military and veteran parents: there are great kids clubs on all Holland America cruise ships!
Holland America has a high-tech kids club similar to Celebrity Cruise Lines — a real hit with 21st-century children.
For all children between the ages of 3 and 17, entertainment staff is available at Club HAL and Teen Lounges every day from 9:00 am to 11:30 am, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, and 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm. On port days, centers are open from 8 am–4 pm and 7 pm–10 pm.
Children’s entertainment is free, organized into three age groups: Teen (13–17), Shockwave (8–12), and Kids (3–7).
Group babysitting is available for $5 per child per hour from 10:00 pm–12:00 am for passengers ages 3–12 in Club HAL. Babysitting is not offered while the ship is in port. The Teen Lounge is open for free during this time as well.
The ms Koningsdam has cabins that hold 5!
The ms Koningsdam also has solo cabins!

What are the benefits offered with Holland America group cruise deals for military and veterans?
A. Amenity Points
B. Tour Conductor credit(s)
C. Our military discount
A. All About Amenity Points for Groups on Holland America:
When you book a Holland America group cruise, you receive “amenity points” that can be used to pick a group perk. The number of points varies by cruise length — 7-day cruises usually get 4 points. Whatever you select applies to all cabins in the group.
Points can be used to get onboard credit, OR dinner at the Pinnacle Grill, OR a cocktail party, OR extra internet minutes, etc. Here are many of the gifts available:
- Pinnacle Grill Dinner per guest
- Pinnacle Grill Lunch per guest
- Canaletto Dinner per guest
- Tamarind Dinner per guest (Eurodam, Koningsdam & Nieuw Amsterdam only)
- Rudi’s Sel de Mer Pop-up per guest (all ships except Koningsdam)
- Blend Wine-Making Experience (Koningsdam only)
- Lobster Shack (Lobster Roll) — Half Moon Cay
- Cocktail Party — one hour with hot hors d’oeuvres (limited to one per group)
- Fiesta Party — one hour with margaritas, mojitos, Corona and fiesta food
- Mixology Class
- Wine Cellar No. 1 Package — one, two, or four bottles per stateroom
- Winemaker Package (with HAL wines or group’s own wine, with commemorative bottles or chocolate-dipped strawberries)
- Vitamin Water — three-pack per stateroom
- Bottled Water — 12-pack per guest
- $25 or $50 Beverage Card per guest
- $50 Fountain Soda Card per guest
- Plate of Chocolate-dipped Strawberries per stateroom
- Sparkling Wine & Strawberries per stateroom
- Selection of Deluxe Canapés per stateroom
- Bon Voyage Sparkling Wine — one bottle per stateroom
Important tip: Don’t ask every member of your group which perk they prefer — everyone must receive the same amenity. A group leader needs to choose for everyone. Trust us on this one.
In lieu of these points, your group can also choose a special package: Family Reunion Package, Wine and Cooking Demo Package, Winemaker’s Package, Wedding Package, Vegas at Sea Package, Destination Discovery Package, or the Wellness and Fitness Package. Details on each are below.
B. The Tour Conductor Credit(s) applied to Holland America Group Cruises
Each group receives one tour conductor credit per 8 cabins (16 people). This credit can be used to give 1 passenger a FREE cruise fare (taxes and port charges still apply).
The credit amount is the average per-person cruise rate for the group based on double occupancy. It’s wise not to apply it to the most expensive cabin in your group — as it won’t cover that passenger’s full fare.

C. Our Military Discount
In addition to all group benefits from Holland America, every group booked through Military Cruise Deals receives an additional discount off the cruise fare — so everyone in your group pays less than booking directly with Holland America.
Family Reunion Package:
Free upgrades for the whole family! The head of the family receives a free “best available” upgrade; all other family members receive a “best available” upgrade within their cabin type. Plus, all guests enjoy a Pinnacle Grill lunch, a $50 fountain soda card per stateroom, and a $50 beverage card per stateroom.
Private Wine and Cooking Demonstration Package:
Guests enjoy a private premium wine tasting with the ship’s cellar master, two one-hour demonstration sessions in the Culinary Arts Center, and a bottle of sparkling wine in each stateroom.
Winemaker’s Package:
Two options: bring your own wine onboard (corkage fee applies), or focus on Holland America’s own selection with expert tastings. All groups receive two one-hour wine tastings, a Winemaker’s Lunch in the Pinnacle Grill with three wine pairings, and chocolate-dipped strawberries or a commemorative bottle of wine in each stateroom.
Wedding Package:
Let Holland America handle every detail — from cake decoration to champagne. Ceremonies are performed on the day of sailing or in select ports of call. The package includes a complimentary upgrade for the bride and groom, a wedding cake for up to 16 guests, Pinnacle Grill lunch, private wine tasting, chocolate-dipped strawberries, and sparkling wine in all staterooms. Photography, videography, live music, receptions, and spa appointments can be added.
Vegas at Sea Package:
Whether you’re an experienced gambler or rolling the dice for the first time, onboard casinos offer gaming for all levels with complimentary lessons. Your group enjoys a $25 casino credit per stateroom, $25 beverage card per stateroom, and a Pinnacle Grill lunch for all guests.
