    Common questions about this voyage

    Does my stateroom have a mini-fridge? 

    A mini-fridge is included with all staterooms. Guests who need to refrigerate medication should store it in the ship’s infirmary, as mini-fridges aren’t cold enough for that purpose.

    Only Neptune and Pinnacle Suites feature in-suite coffee and espresso machines.

    Can I extend my cruise vacation?

    Yes. Travel at 60 can assist you with arranging a pre-or post-hotel packages that allows you to extend your vacation in either your port of embarkation or debarkation. Some of the world's greatest travel highlights are within reach, both before and after your cruise.

    What do I when in port?

    You can explore on your own or take a guided tour (referred to as shore excursions). Holland America Line offers a wide variety of shore excursions to fit your lifestyle, ranging from easygoing activities to high adventure. Once you have booked your cruise, you can easily book your shore excursions; we recommend you book early for the best selection.

    What should I pack?

    Pack as you would for any resort. Cruise vacations are casual by day, whether you're on the ship or ashore. The suggested attire for most evenings is resort casual; slacks and collared shirts for men, and casual dresses, slacks and informal evening-wear for women. On gala nights women usually wear a suit, cocktail dress or gown and men wear a jacket and tie, dark suit, or tuxedo.
