Holland America Line is distinguished by its unique fusion of music and homage to special touches found on the great ocean liners of the past, owing in part to its 150-plus years of service. Onboard, you'll find eclectic design with warm tones and comtemporary touches, elevated standard dining, and specialty dining experiences that rival a fancy cosmopolitan night out.

The onboard atmosphere emphasizes relaxation, artistic, and epicurean delights. Unlike many major lines, you will not find any eye-popping attractions such as roller coasters, but you will find exclusive musical offerings such as the B.B. King's Blues Club, the Lincoln Stage Center, and Billboard Onboard on most of the fleet to enjoy with friends, family, or that special someone. Holland America Line's unique experience is complimented by solid onboard service that is neither pretentious nor stuffy.

Onboard its mid-sized ships, you can expect to find couples, groups of friends, and families traveling together. While children's facilities do exist onboard, most sailings have few children onboard. The general demographics onboard are professionals and retirees ranging from their 50's to 80's.
