Holland America Line extends flexible cancellation plan

For cruises booked by Sept. 30 that embark by year's end, passengers can cancel for any reason up to 30 days before departure and receive a future cruise credit.

Plus, COVID-19 Protection Program

In addition, Holland America added the COVID-19 Protection Program that provides further peace of mind for travelers within 30 days of embarkation who may be unable to travel because of testing positive.

Under the program, which also applies to bookings prior to Sept. 30 for cruises that depart by Dec. 31, passengers who cannot travel due to a positive test or new governmental travel restriction will be eligible for a future cruise credit.

'We want everyone to feel comfortable when booking one of our great cruise offers available right now, knowing that they will be covered if their plans change,' said HAL's Beth Bodensteiner, chief commercial officer.
