22nd year – Holland America Line Named ‘Best Overall Cruise Value’

Cruise Specialists works with a variety of luxury and premium cruise lines to provide our clients with the best in quality, service and value. Which is why we were once again delighted that our grand voyage cruise partner Holland America Line was voted “Best Overall Cruise Value” in 2014 by the World Ocean Cruise Liner Society!

WOCLS said, “At the same price point HAL still offers a far more elegant product and far more personalized service than other cruise lines in this category and remarkably, they are able to deliver this product consistently across all the ships in their fleet.

Their old-world ambiance, friendly and excellent service, fine food and the extra touches that passengers do not expect. This combines to make Holland America Line the most repeated cruise line of our members and the Best Cruise Value in this category.”

Just this weekend the Cruise Specialists team traveled to Fort Lauderdale, FL to bid farewell to over 50 clients on the Grand South America and Antarctica voyage on Holland America Line msPrinsendam and over 170 clients on the Grand World Cruise aboard the Holland America Line msAmsterdam.

The elegantly appointed library is stocked with books for every interest and the intimate feel of the pool area makes for plenty of time in the sunshine to devour any subject.

Our customers tell us they appreciate not only the more elegant feel of the ships, but unlike many of the larger new ships here the staff gets to know you by name. They have your perfect cup of coffee waiting when you sit down at breakfast and know which deck chair will shade you from the hottest part of the day so can you finish the last chapter in your book. PrinsendamLibrary

From the cocktail parties to the going away gala to the smooth transfers to port we were pleased to have this great partner by our side, welcoming guests and ensuring their voyages would be spectacular.

Stay tuned for more details on the special events provided for Cruise Specialists guests only.

“To have won this award every year for more than two decades is a true testament to the dedication by everyone at Holland America Line who ensure that we continue to offer an exceptional experience to our guests,” said Orlando Ashford, president of Holland America Line.
