What Our Holland America Guests Say

Read how our certified Holland America Line Commodores turn Alaska Cruisetours and premium ocean voyages into seamless, unforgettable vacations.

Alaska Cruisetour

"Booking our 14-day Alaska and Yukon Cruisetour through Vincent Vacations made a massive difference. Our advisor secured a Neptune Suite on Koningsdam with an extra $300 shipboard credit, arranged our McKinley Explorer glass-domed railcars, and booked our riverside room at McKinley Chalet in Denali. Watching glaciers calve from our private balcony was the trip of a lifetime."

David & Patricia K.
Seattle, WA • Neptune Suite & Yukon Guests
Rotterdam Flagship

"Rotterdam exceeded every expectation. The live music in the Rolling Stone Lounge and B.B. King's Blues Club had us dancing every single evening. Vincent Vacations added Club Orange to our booking, which gave us priority check-in and dedicated dining. The complimentary dinner at Pinnacle Grill was five-star perfection."

Robert & Linda S.
Atlanta, GA • Rotterdam Club Orange Guests
Booking Transfer

"We originally booked directly on HollandAmerica.com. A friend recommended Vincent Vacations, so we transferred our reservation before final payment. We kept the exact same stateroom and promotional price, but immediately gained $200 in onboard credit, a bottle of wine, and personal advisor guidance. We will never book direct again!"
