Holland America Line is celebrating the holiday season with its second annual “Great HALiday Giveaway,” the company announced in a press release.
The 12-day online event runs from Dec. 5-16, 2025, and allows participants to enter a dedicated website daily for a chance to win a series of prizes.
As part of the initiative, Holland America is giving away cruises in 2026 to destinations including Alaska and Europe, as well as a family holiday cruise and gift cards.
The “Great HALiday Giveaway” also offers a grand prize: the full 2026 or 2027 Grand World Voyage onboard the Volendam.
In addition to the 12 days of giveaways, Holland America Line is gifting $25 deposits to entrants for select summer 2026 through spring 2027 cruises.
The company said that every entrant in the Great HALiday Giveaway will receive an offer code that can be used toward a future booking when booked by Dec. 31, 2025.
“The holidays are all about sharing joy, and we want to inspire travelers to dream big with 12 days of exciting giveaways,” said Kacy Cole, Holland America Line’s chief marketing officer.
“Whether it’s a cruise, gift card, or the extraordinary opportunity to experience an entire Grand World Voyage, each prize reflects an opportunity to connect to the world and each other. With exclusive $25 deposits, we hope to inspire even more guests to explore the world with Holland America Line,” she added.
Visitors can go to the “Great HALiday Giveaway” website daily, which is available here, for a chance to win a cruise for two guests to Alaska, the Caribbean, Europe, Canada/New England and Pacific Coastal; an Alaska Cruisetour; and $200 Holland America Line gift cards.
Much like an advent calendar, participants enter their details and click on a “door” to reveal which prize is up for winning that day.
Consumers who enter the giveaway throughout its duration will receive an entry every day they return to win the grand prize: a full Grand World Voyage for two guests in either 2026 or 2027. The winner of the world cruise can choose to sail on the full voyage or embark on one of the segments.
Holland America said that the Great HALiday Giveaway in 2024 was the first time that the company gave away a cruise of this magnitude.
