Featured Ports & Excursions
Just "26 miles across the sea," so the song goes, yet a world apart. Where life revolves around a lovely palm fringed bay and the chic casino built in 1929 by William Wrigley, Jr. Sample shore excursions: Avalon City Tour; Catalina Kayak Adventure; Whale & Dolphin Eco-tour.
Sunshine and fun are business as usual in San Diego. Walk on Coronado Island's sandy beach, take in the Old Town that brings the city's early Spanish days to life, have a wild time at the famous San Diego Zoo or a whale of a good time at Sea World. Sample shore excursions: San Diego Tour.
The Emerald City of the Pacific Northwest, Seattle is known for its stunning waterfront. "Catch" a salmon at Pike Place Market, ride to the top of the Space Needle, sample a local microbrew in funky Fremont, or down a cup of java in the coffee capital of the world.
A touch of England awaits: afternoon tea, double-decker buses, the famed Butchart Gardens - a brilliant tapestry of color spread across 50 blooming acres. Sample shore excursions: A Taste of Victoria: City Lights with Wine & Chocolate; Ale Trail & Pub Tour.
Galleries, boutiques, colorful public markets, restaurants of every ethnicity: this vital port city has them all. Visit vibrant Chinatown and Stanley Park, with its 1,000 acres of forests, gardens, lakes and lawns in the heart of the city.

Protection Plans
Cancellation Protection Plans
CPP Standard Plan
Our Standard Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP Standard Plan) will allow you, for any reason, to provide written cancellation up to 24 hours prior to scheduled cruise or cruisetour departure and receive a refund equal to 80% of the eligible amounts paid (90% if you purchased our CPP Platinum Plan). In addition, Holland America Line (HAL) automatically assumes an additional US$500 of liability for lost, damaged or delayed baggage of passengers who purchase the CPP Standard Plan still subject, however, to the limitations in our baggage policies. For example, we do not cover losses while baggage is in the custody of airlines. Please review our Baggage Policy. The CPP Standard Plan is not insurance, is administered by Holland America Line Inc., and may not be available for purchase in some locations outside the U.S. and Canada; it provides no rights other than those explained above. For example, it does not protect double-triple-quad occupancy rates should one or more members of your party cancel, nor does it cover expenses or unused services due to trip interruption. CPP Platinum Plan
Our Platinum Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP Platinum Plan) enables you to supplement the CPP Standard Plan with enhanced cancellation protection as well as insurance coverage and travel assistance services . For a nominal additional fee, you will receive:
- Pre-departure trip cancellation You may cancel for any reason prior to the scheduled cruise/cruisetour departure and receive reimbursement equal to 90% of the eligible amounts paid to Holland America Line.
- Trip Interruption protection Covers the unused arrangements of your travel and additional traveling expenses to return home, up to 150% of the cruise/cruisetour cost for covered reasons.
- Trip Delay coverage Provides reimbursement for reasonable additional accommodations and traveling expenses if your trip is delayed for covered reasons, up to US$500.
- Baggage protection The Platinum Plan provides an additional $1,000 in coverage if your baggage is lost, stolen, or damaged while it is in Holland America Line’s custody and an additional $500 coverage if your baggage is delayed by a common carrier.
- Emergency medical expense You will be reimbursed up to US$10,000 in covered medical services incurred during your trip for any illness or injury first occurring during your trip. In addition, necessary expenses of up to US$50,000 for emergency medical evacuations and repatriations are covered. These are benefits that Medicare and many private insurance plans may not offer, and they are highly recommended for foreign travel.
- 24-Hour emergency hotline assistance Provides around-the-clock help worldwide assistance for legal or medical referrals, lost travel documents, cash transfer or passport assistance.
