The sight of Mt. McKinley without cloud cover is a soul-stirring experience. It ranks as one of life’s milestone events precisely because, like most things governed by nature, the 20,320-foot peak does not appear on demand.

Experience the feel of a vast Alaskan wilderness as you explore the official park road.

Spotting one or more of the large land mammals that inhabit the park — the moose, caribou, Dall sheep and grizzly bear that make up Alaska’s legendary “Big Four”— is another equally monumental travel achievement. It endows the Denali visitor with indelible images of the true nature of wilderness.

light snack, stunning scenery

We strongly believe that every visitor to Alaska should spend as much time as possible in Denali National Park. We include two nights in the park as the cornerstone of nearly all of our cruisetour itineraries because we know what a difference an extra day in Denali can make. Double Denali itineraries provide ample time for the in-depth Tundra Wilderness Tour to the best possible Mt. McKinley and wildlife viewpoints. And additional sights unfold on a Mt. McKinley flightseeing tour or other options like river rafting, a backcountry adventure via Jeep® or ATV, fly fishing via jet boat, heli-hiking or even golf.

Points of interest: Savage River,

the “drunken forest” of Teklanika, Polychrome Pass and, weather permitting, the full vertical rise of Mt. McKinley from Stony Hill Overlook. Watch for bears at Sable Pass, Dall sheep at Igloo Canyon and moose all along the way. Natural History Tour* Duration: 4 to 5 hours, included on

Picture untrammeled nature as far as the eye can see. Here personal space is measured not in feet but in miles, and the vast animal community far outnumbers the sparse human population. As far from civilization as you are ever likely to get, these tranquil, serene places promise remote wilderness adventure in a land that is truly unique and rare.

Denali National Park Denali National Park is a thing of beauty — the kind not created by man. It thrills the eye and lifts the heart because here the wild, natural world remains unchanged. Just one slim ribbon of road winds its way through the largest continually protected ecosystem in the world, where outposts of civilization are few and far between. We recommend the Tundra Wilderness Tour (included on all of our Double Denali cruisetours). Traveling 62 miles into the park, this comprehensive exploration maximizes your chances of seeing the full vertical rise of 20,320-foot-high Mt. McKinley, greater even than that of Mt. Everest. Passing through the park’s richest wildlife corridor, it also offers your best opportunities to see and photograph bear, moose, caribou and Dall sheep.

We invite you to experience the pleasures of mid-sized cruising. To revel in spacious rooms, breathe in expansive views and enjoy an elegant ambiance shared by fewer guests. A timeless appeal

A feeling of refined elegance characterizes your experience aboard. In public rooms, rich polished woods, fresh flowers and comfortable furnishings create an inviting atmosphere in which to gather. And from the moment you arrive, you are welcomed as an honored friend would be in a fine private home. Mid-sized ships

For guests, the benefits are many: • A feeling of spaciousness throughout

the ship

• Fewer guests, more personal attention • Prompt seating and easy access

to services

• Smooth embarkation, disembarkation

and tendering

Museum-quality artwork

Holland America Line’s curatorial staff has a passion for collecting artwork and antiques from around the world. So much so that each ship’s stunning collection is illuminated by a museumstyle iPod® walking tour featuring interviews with the artists, music and narrated insights.

To help you enjoy an extraordinary vacation, here are the answers to the questions we are most frequently asked. Many more are addressed in a Traveler’s Handbook which will arrive with your travel documents. Or click “Booked Guests” on our website.

How much time do I need to allow for embarking and disembarking? For arrivals and departures in all ports of (dis)embarkation, it is recom­mended that those guests not purchasing Holland America’s Fly Cruise and Tour Plan allow adequate time for transfer between the airport and pier, customs inspections and airport security checks as noted below.

your protection worldwide HOLLAND AMERICA LINE CANCELLATION PROTECT I ON PLANS

four reasons

to choose the Holland America Line Cancellation Protection Plan

1

YOU CAN CANCEL BEFORE DEPARTURE FOR ANY REASON.

Even if it’s up to 24 hours before departure under our Standard Plan or right up to departure with our Platinum Plan. For any reason whatsoever, your reservation may be cancelled with ease.

2

YOU GET MONEY BACK.

3

SAME PRICE FOR ALL AGES.

Regardless of your reason for canceling. Only Holland America Line refunds 80–90% of eligible amounts paid, FOR ANY REASON, as long as you cancel more than 24 hours prior to departure (right up to departure with the Platinum Plan).

We offer the same excellent protection for everyone, at the same cost.

4

NO PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS.

Our Standard and Platinum plans do not contain pre-existing condition exclusions.

A small price for peace of mind

Holland America’s Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP) is designed to protect your vacation investment from loss — no matter what. And like other plans that protect things of great value, it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind. Be it illness, family matters, unforeseen work events — anything, CPP is your assurance that your vacation can be cancelled before you leave for any reason for a refund. Our Standard and Platinum Cancellation plans at a glance

Unforeseen events do happen, which is why Holland America Line is pleased to offer trip cancellation protection for your utmost peace of mind. CPP STANDARD Provided by Holland America Line

CPP Standard allows you to cancel for any reason up to 24 hours prior to the cruise/cruisetour departure and receive a refund equal to 80% of the eligible amounts paid. Plus, Holland America Line (HAL) assumes an additional us$500 liability for lost, damaged or delayed baggage for guests who purchase CPP Standard; still subject, however, to the limitations in our baggage policies. For example, we do not cover losses while baggage is in the custody of airlines. The baggage policies of HAL are explained in detail on page 83 in this brochure. Please note: The CPP Standard Plan is not insurance; it provides no rights other than those explained above. For example, it does not protect double-triple-quad occupancy rates should one or more members of your party cancel, nor does it cover expenses or unused services due to trip interruption. CPP PLATINUM

Our Platinum Cancellation Protection Plan enables you to supplement the benefits provided under the CPP Standard Plan with enhanced cancellation protection. In addition, CPP Platinum provides insurance coverage for trip delays and interruptions, medical expenses and much more. CPP Platinum also includes 24-hour worldwide emergency assistance services. CPP Platinum is comprised of the following: Section I — Cancel for Any Reason Waiver Provided by Holland America Line

• You may cancel for any reason prior to the scheduled cruise/cruisetour departure and receive reimbursement equal to 90% of the eligible amounts paid to Holland America. SECTION II — TRAVEL INSURANCE PROGRAM Underwritten by Stonebridge Casualty Insurance Company

• Trip Interruption: enables you to cancel or interrupt your cruise vacation for illness, injury or death to you, an immediate family member or a traveling companion, as well as certain other non-medical reasons affecting you or your traveling companion, and receive up to 150% of your cruise vacation cost.

Repatriation coverage provides for shipment of remains in the event of death during the cruise vacation. SECTION III — WORLDWIDE EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE SERVICES Provided by On Call International

See page 83 for further information about our Cancellation Policy. Payment for the plan is due at time of purchase and is non-refundable. CPP Standard is in effect for cancellations for any reason up to 24 hours prior to departure. CPP Standard is not insurance – this is an optional purchase that may be added to your reservation that is provided by Holland America Line to provide you with trip cancellation protection for up to 24 hours prior to departure.

Rest assured: Answers to frequent questions

Can ce ll at i o n Protection Plan s

• Trip Delay: If you miss the departure of your cruise due to carrier-caused delays or other specified reasons, you will be reimbursed up to us$500 for additional accommodations, meals and “catch-up” transportation expenses.

If something comes up and I have to cancel, am I protected?

Absolutely. You can cancel for any reason whatsoever by providing written cancellation notice up to 24 hours prior to the cruise/ cruisetour departure with CPP Standard (right up to departure with CPP Platinum). What’s more, you’ll get a refund. Other programs may not refund cancellation fees if the reason for cancellation is not a “covered” claim. Are my airfare and pre- and post-packages covered as well? Yes. If you purchased

Holland America Line’s Fly Cruise Plan and/or our pre-/post-packages, you’ll get 80% of your air and package cancellation fees refunded when canceling up to 24 hours prior to departure (90% with CPP Platinum when canceling right up to departure).

If an emergency occurs during our trip, will I be able to see a doctor who speaks English?

If you have chosen CPP Platinum, you’ll have access to a 24-hour emergency assistance hotline whose staff will refer you to qualified local doctors who speak your language. I have a history of back trouble. What if my back goes out on the trip and we have to cut it short? There is no exclusion under

the Platinum Plan for pre-existing conditions that cause a trip interruption. Compare that to other plans with long “wait” periods applying to pre-existing conditions.

Does the CPP Platinum cover me if I am injured on shore? Absolutely!

You’ll be reimbursed up to us$10,000 for covered emergency medical, surgical and dental care should you become sick or are accidentally injured while traveling.

CPP Platinum is in effect for cancellations for any reason up until time of departure. Other benefits and services provided in CPP Platinum are effective once you depart on your trip. Note that the benefits and services provided in CPP Platinum are available only to guests who enroll in and pay the appropriate program cost to Holland America Line. Please note that payment of the required cruise deposit does not automatically activate enrollment in CPP Platinum Protection. In order to activate enrollment, you must pay the appropriate program costs in addition to the required cruise deposit amount. Note: This is not a complete description of CPP Platinum — a full description detailing the terms, conditions and exclusions will be sent to you or your travel professional and may also be found on and printed from www.hollandamerica.com.

Our AirPlus Service® allows guests to select which airlines they prefer, upgrade flight class and/or travel to and from their (dis)embarkation port on dates other than those usually booked.

If your flight is delayed, we will make arrangements to assist you.

If your flight is cancelled or a revised schedule no longer connects to the ship or tour, we will alter your ticket at no charge; if necessary, we will even rebook on an alternate airline.

AirPlus Service ® AirPlus Service is available for Fly Cruise guests who wish to customize their air travel. Popular options include: • Scheduling your travel to allow for an extended stay either before or after your cruise • Upgrading to First or Business class, subject to availability • Choosing preferred airlines to gain credit for mileage programs, or because your plans require a certain flight or particular time • Requesting an alternative airport if you do not live near one of our offered gateways • Arranging the same flight for a crossreferenced booking Written requests should be faxed to AirPlus Service at (206) 298-3008 or mailed to: Holland America Line Inc.

Guests who request specific routes or flights may be subject to additional air costs based on available space and fares. All requests are subject to availability and are not guaranteed. If confirmation is possible, a us$50 non-refundable service charge and additional airline costs incurred will be assessed. A service charge will be assessed for each additional request that is confirmed.

Book Early The availability of our pre-arranged air rates may be limited. Therefore, it is advantageous for you to book your vacation as early as possible. We reserve the right to limit or close sales from cities without notice.

Government-issued Identification For security reasons, first and last names on an air booking must match the governmentissued identification used for boarding. For guests with Holland America Line’s Fly Cruise plan, spelling corrections or name changes may result in a higher air rate, loss of space and/or change fees. Visit www.tsa.gov for more details.

Seat Assignments/Special Requests Holland America Line requests seat assignments at the time flights are confirmed, based on the seats available through the airline’s reservation system. Please call our AirSea Department for specific seat requests. Some airlines or charter operators do not offer advance seat assignments. Please contact each airline directly to request meals, oxygen, wheelchair or other airport assistance. Guests traveling with other guests who originate from different cities or who request the Fly Cruise Plan at different times may not receive routings on the same flights.

Air Schedule Changes Due to potential last-minute schedule changes, we recommend contacting your airlines directly to reconfirm your flights prior to travel. If schedule changes occur after tickets are issued, Holland America Line may adjust your itinerary or air carriers accordingly.

Air Rates/Air Taxes/Fees Air rates will be quoted at the time of booking and are subject to change until the booking is paid in full. Quoted rates do not include Passenger Facility Charges (us$3–27), Canadian airport improvement fees (up to a maximum of us$70), federal flight segment fees for each flight segment (takeoff and landing) of us$3.70, the September 11 Security Fee of us$2.50 per guest enplanement (up to a maximum of us$10) and international arrival and departure taxes (us$3–100). Air rates do not include local customs, departure or other taxes that may be collected directly from you by applicable government authorities. Baggage fees and other charges may be directly assessed by airlines or airports. Once you are notified of your flight details, please contact your airlines for additional information.

Liability and Relation with Airlines We reserve the right to use the carriers, routing and fare structure of our choice, and to utilize commuter and/or charter air service without prior notice. As the air rates we use are based on capacity-controlled, promotional and group fares, we may limit or close sales without prior notice at any time. If, due to any cause beyond our control, we are unable to arrange for air travel or the air travel we arrange is unavailable or otherwise fails to materialize, our liability will be limited to refunding the air add-on amount paid to us. We assume no liability for any acts or omissions of any airline, including, without limitation, those involving cancellation of flights, schedule changes, re-routings, damage to or delay or loss of baggage, flight delays, equipment failures, accidents, pilot or other staff shortages, overbooking or computer errors. The liabilities and obligations of an airline to you, and your rights against an airline, are subject to any and all terms and conditions of the airline’s ticket and tariffs.

Air Changes/Refunds Changes to existing reservations initiated by guests will result in a rescheduling charge of a minimum of us$100 per guest if the changes are made after the final payment due date. Airline tickets are based on fares which are highly restrictive and often cannot be reissued or exchanged for another carrier or routing. The maximum refund for unused air tickets will not exceed the air add-on paid to us. There are no partial refunds. Due to changing airline tariffs, your tickets may reflect fares higher or lower than our air add-on amounts. The difference is neither chargeable nor refundable.

Reservations

Travel agencies provide valuable service and counseling to prospective travelers. We encourage you to make your Holland America reservations with a travel professional. Travel agencies are not owned or controlled by Holland America Line. Your deposits and payments for Holland America’s services are to be paid to the travel agency with which you made your reservations. Since accommodations are limited by the number of staterooms on each ship, reservations should be made as early as possible. Travel documents will be issued only if and when full payment has been received by Holland America Line from the travel agency. Refunds for cancelled or unused services will normally be made to the same travel agency on the basis of the amount actually received by Holland America Line less any applicable cancellation fees and charges. You are responsible for obtaining from your travel agency monies either retained by the agency or received by the agency from Holland America Line. For further information, visit our website at www.hollandamerica.com or call 1-877-sail hal. Guests under 21 years of age must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or chaperone who is at least 21 years old; one adult chaperone is required for every five people under age 21.

Deposit and Final Payment Requirements

A deposit is required at the time of cruise booking. Cancellation Protection Plan is optional and, if desired, must be purchased prior to the date on which cancellation fees begin to accrue; see Cancellation Protection Plan and Additional Baggage Protection for details on page 79. Final payment is due 75 days prior to departure. Once final payment is received and online check-in and immigration questionnaire is completed, travel documents will be available approximately 30 to 50 days prior to your voyage date. Travel professionals should make checks payable and send to: Holland America Line Inc. Attn: Cash Applications 300 Elliott Avenue West Seattle, WA 98119 U.S.A. Payment by Holland America Line Rewards VISA®, MasterCard®, American Express®, VISA® or Discover® card is also accepted. For faster processing, please include a confirmation number on your check.

Change Charges

To cover administrative costs, a per-person charge will be made if you request a change in your travel arrangements after the final payment due date. Change charges are not assessed for stateroom upgrades or for the addition of services, unless air reservations are altered and/or travel documents must be reissued.

Cancellation Policy

A full refund (except for amounts paid for CPP) will be made for written cancellations received by Holland America Line, 300 Elliott Avenue West, Seattle, WA 98119, prior to the date on which you are to commence travel by air, rail, sea or otherwise in accordance with the following Cancellation Policy. Cancellation fees apply to the entire cruise booking, including cruise fare, air add-ons, ground transfers, pre-cruise and post-cruise hotel and tour packages. Guests who cancel within the dates shown below for any reason, including medical or family reasons, are subject to the following per-person cancellation fees: All Alaska Cruises & CruiseTours 75–57 days before commencing travel: an amount equal to deposit requirement; 56–29 days before commencing travel: 50% of gross fare; 28–16 days before commencing travel: 75% of gross fare; 15 days or less before commencing travel: 100% of gross fare. Given that the resale of cancelled space will likely result in a lost opportunity to sell other space, these fees are due regardless of resale. Fees incurred as a result of cancellation cannot be applied to future bookings. Refunds will normally be made to your travel professional. Travel professionals may impose their own cancellation fees. Agency fees of any nature are a matter to be decided on solely by the agency and guests. Name changes require the prior approval of Holland America Line and may not always be possible. Cruise contracts are nontransferable. Name changes and departure date changes are considered reservation cancellations and are subject to cancellation fees.

Cruise Fares

Traveling with Holland America Line is one of the best vacation values around. Your cruise fare includes accommodations aboard an elegant Holland America cruise ship, most meals and entertainment on board ship. Not included are items of a personal nature or optional programs or optional activities, such as alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, laundry and dry cleaning, shore excursions, medical, barber and beauty shop services. All fares are per person based on double occupancy in U.S. dollars.

Hotel Service Charge

Our crew works very hard to make sure that every aspect of your cruise meets the highest standards. This includes those crew members who serve you directly, such as dining room wait staff and the stewards who service your stateroom each day. There are also many others who support their efforts whom you may never meet, such as galley and laundry staff. To ensure that the efforts of all of our crew members are recognized and rewarded, a daily Hotel Service Charge is automatically added to each guest’s shipboard account. At the time of printing, the Hotel Service Charge is us$11 per guest, per day and is subject to change without notice. If our service exceeds or fails to meet your expectations, you are free to adjust this amount at the end of the cruise. The Hotel Service Charge is paid to Holland America Line crew members and represents an important part of their compensation. A 15% service charge is automatically added to bar charges and dining room wine purchases. In terminals, airports, ports of call and on shore excursions, we suggest that you extend gratuities consistent with customary local practices.

Fares, Taxes and Surcharges

Holland America Line reserves the right not to honor any published prices that it determines were erroneous due to printing, electronic or clerical error. Fares quoted in this brochure are those in effect at the time of printing. If cost factors dictate the need for fare increases, Holland America Line may do so at any time prior to departure. Guests can cancel (without paying a cancellation fee) rather than accept a fare increase. This right does not apply to increases in Taxes or to surcharges, as described below. In addition to your cruise fare, you will also be charged an amount for Taxes. That term, as used by Holland America Line, refers to certain taxes, fees and charges imposed by governmental or quasi-governmental authorities, including port authorities and operators, relating to any aspect of your cruise or tour. If governmental action results in any element of Taxes exceeding the estimates used by Holland America Line for purposes of computing the quoted amount, we reserve the right to pass through the extra amount. Similarly, Holland America Line reserves the right to impose or pass through fuel supplements and surcharges, security surcharges or similar incidental surcharges. No right of cancellation exists under either of these circumstances. Holland America Line reserves the right to reinstate the fuel supplement for all guests up to us$9 per person per day if the price of light sweet crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) exceeds us$70 per barrel. Please consult our website for current information.


We do not discriminate against persons on the basis of disability. We seek, to the extent feasible, to accommodate the needs of persons with disabilities. We have a limited number of staterooms designed for wheelchair access. Service animals are permitted on board ships if prior arrangements have been made. Certain land and shore facilities may not be fully accessible to persons with disabilities. While Holland America Line endeavors to contract with companies which provide accessible services and facilities, we cannot guarantee that all services and facilities will be fully accessible. In limited situations where an individual with a disability would be unable to satisfy certain specified safety and other criteria, even when provided with appropriate auxiliary aids and services, we may find it necessary to ask the individual to make alternative travel arrangements. We must be notified of any special medical, physical or other requirements of guests at the time of booking. Please contact our Access and Compliance Department via email at halw_ access@hollandamerica.com, via fax at 1-800-577-1731 or via tty at 1-800-254-8669.

Medical Services/Infants/Pregnancy

Each of our ships is equipped with limited medical facilities that are staffed by a physician and registered nurses. The physician is an independent contractor. There will be a fee charged for all medical services and medications obtained on board. If you become ill during the cruise and the physician is unable to care for your needs on board, you will be transferred to medical facilities on shore. If your condition will require that you have special medical apparatus or assistance on board, we must be made aware of that at time of booking in order to determine whether we can accommodate your needs.

Holland America’s ships provide, at no extra charge, either safe-deposit boxes in the ship’s Front Office or stateroom safes. Certain hotels may also provide similar facilities. Your use of safedeposit boxes, stateroom safes or similar facilities will not increase Holland America’s liability as described below.

In particular, please note that we assume no responsibility for loss, damage or delay while baggage is in the custody of airlines. If Holland America Line, due to any cause whatsoever, is liable for loss of, damage to or delay of your property, the amount of ­ Holland America’s liability will not exceed us$100 (us$600 for guests who have purchased the Cancellation Protection Standard Plan) unless you have specified to ­Holland America Line in writing the true value of your property and paid to Holland America Line before departure 1% of the value in excess of us$100 or us$600, as applicable. In that event, Holland America Line’s liability will be limited to the amount so specified.
