Season 

Cruise line recorded more bookings Jan. 16 than on any day in its 150-year
history

SEATTLE, Jan. 24, 2024 -- Just six months after recording its largest booking
day, Holland America Line surpassed that mark Jan. 16, 2024, to set a new
single-day sales record. The Jan. 16 bookings topped the previous record from
July 11, 2023, by 18%, making it the biggest sales day in the 150-year history
of Holland America Line.

The cruise line also set a record for the week ending Jan. 19, achieving its
largest-ever bookings week during a "wave" season, a traditionally high
booking period for the cruise industry between January and March. Over
one-third of the week's bookings were for Holland America Line's
award-winning Alaska
