Holland America Line has a Flexible Cancellation Plan that allows cruise travelers to cancel for any reason up to 30 days before sailing without penalty. Set to expire soon, the cruise line has extended what would have expired at the end of May to the end of September.

Holland America’s “Worry-Free Promise brings an unprecedented level of confidence in travel planning, something other cruise lines may or may not do. Make travel plans through the summer with the extension of its Flexible Cancellation Plan through Sept. 30, 2022.

“We want our guests to confidently make their summer cruise vacation plans,” said Beth Bodensteiner, Holland America Line’s senior vice president and chief commercial officer. “By extending the date our guests need to book their cruise under our Worry-Free Promise, it will allow them to take advantage of some great limited-time special offers with the peace of mind that if they change their plans they can still take a cruise at a later date.”

Also helpful, Holland America Line’s Cancellation Protection Program can be purchased for new cruises or Alaska Cruisetour bookings or existing bookings as long as it is purchased before the date cancellation fees begin to accrue. Still offered as a “Standard” or “Platinum” plan, guests can cancel for any reason up to 24 hours before cruise departure with Standard and right up to departure under Platinum and receive refunds between 80% to 90% of eligible amounts paid. The cost varies by cruise fare and is nonrefundable.
