Theme Cruises
Every Holland America cruise has its own unique focus...beach life, natural history, culture, shopping, adventure. But some add particular appeal by also weaving their itineraries around special entertainment themes. If you're a fan of Ol' Blue Eyes, you'll want to be onboard as we present the music and incomparable stylings of Frank Sinatra. Swing through the Caribbean with the colossal sound of big-name Big Band Orchestras. Rock and roll to the oldies at our '50s Sock Hop. Line dance on a boot scootin' Country Music Cruise. Or relive the classic moments of song and dance on our Greats of Broadway Cruise. A difficult choice, but with no wrong answer.

Children's Program: Club HAL  Pleasures of Cruising
Bring the kids and make it a family cruise. Thanks to Club HAL, a special program that offers oceans of fun for guests 5 through 17, the entire family can have the vacation of their dreams. You snorkeling in crystal blue waters, the kids building sand castles on the beach. Or vice versa.

Fun for kids, tweens and teens
Club HAL Youth Program
Holland America has a youth and teen program for kids and teen ages 5-17. Each ship is staffed with a professional Club HAL Director dedicated to making sure kids and teens of all ages have a great time. Some of the fun-filled activities include bingo for prizes, arts & crafts, special parties and much more. Each child or teen also receives a Club HAL t-shirt. An activity schedule for each age group will be delivered to your stateroom each evening.

Activities are offered for kids (ages 5-8), tweens (9-12) and teens (13-17). The program has an open door policy, which means participants may come and go as they please. They will be supervised at all activities, however, the Club HAL Director is not responsible for any child or teen if he/she chooses to leave the activity. Children under five years of age are welcome to participate in the program, provided an adult accompanies them.Club HAL activities are captivating enough to engage youngsters ages 5 to 8, cool enough to attract tweens and teens.

It all begins with a special Welcome Aboard meeting the first night of the cruise with our full-time youth coordinator and continues throughout the cruise with a dedicated daily youth program filled with fun: storytelling, crafts and candy bar bingo for the little kids; putt-putt golf, pool parties and video games for tweens and teens.

And the fun lasts well into the night with movies, pizza and disco parties, so you can enjoy your evening knowing the kids are having a good time properly supervised.

Food to please the most finicky eaters
Call it what you will--finicky, particular, hard-to-please--the kids will tell you it's simply a matter of taste. Which is why we've designed a menu that includes their favorites: hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, fish n' chips, chicken dippers and more.

Bolstered by the fresh salt air, your kids just may surprise you with their new appetites for life.
