PRINCESS CRUISES AND HOLLAND AMERICA LINE KICK OFF RETURN TO SERVICE IN THE
U.S. FROM THE PORT OF SEATTLE

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (July 23, 2021) – To kick off their return to service
in the U.S., Princess Cruises and Holland America Line held a celebration at
the Port of Seattle today. Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises, and
Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line, spoke
to what the positive multidimensional impact the resumption of
cruising means to Seattle, the local community and Alaska. 

Holland America Line will kick off its Alaska season with Nieuw Amsterdam
setting sail tomorrow, July 24, and Princess Cruises will follow with Majestic
Princess sailing on July 25. Each line will operate ten cruises sailing out of
Seattle through September. This marks the return to cruising and Alaska for
both lines, which combined have more than 125 years of experience bringing
cruisers to The Great Land. Historically, one in two guests who cruise to
Alaska sail on Princess or Holland America.

Both cruise lines have been homeporting out of the Port of Seattle for more
than 20 years. Operationally, each ship visit directly contributes more
than $364,000 to the local economy in provisioning (fuel, food, flowers,
piano tuning, supplies), port taxes, and spending during a full season. 

Princess Cruises is the world’s leading international premium cruise line
and tour company operating a fleet of 14 modern cruise ships to 380
destinations around the globe. Princess celebrates more than 50 years
sailing to Alaska, bringing more guests to the Great Land than any other
cruise line.  

Holland America Line has been exploring the world since 1873 and was the
first cruise line to offer adventures to Alaska and the Yukon nearly 75 years
ago. Its fleet of premium ships visits more than 400 ports in 98 countries
around the world, offering an ideal mid-sized ship experience.
