Holland America’s Great HALiday Giveaway Returns with 12 Days of Cruise Prizes

Holland America Line is spreading holiday cheer with its second annual “Great HALiday Giveaway.” The 12-day online event runs from December 5-16, 2025, giving cruise fans daily chances to win amazing prizes.

The grand prize is a full Grand World Voyage for two guests. You can also win cruises to Alaska, Europe, and other destinations, plus gift cards.

How the Great HALiday Giveaway Works

Visit the Great HALiday Giveaway website daily during the entry period. You can enter once each day for a chance to win that day’s prize.

The setup works like an advent calendar. Enter your details and click on a “door” to reveal which prize is available that day. Coming back daily increases your chances of winning something special.

Every person who enters throughout the 12-day period gets entered to win the grand prize. The more days you participate, the more entries you receive for the Grand World Voyage drawing.

Kacy Cole leads Holland America Line as chief marketing officer. “The holidays are all about sharing joy, and we want to inspire travelers to dream big with 12 days of exciting giveaways,” Cole said. “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.”

What Prizes Can You Win

Daily prizes include cruises for two guests to popular destinations. You could win trips to Alaska, the Caribbean, Europe, Canada/New England, or Pacific Coastal ports.

Holland America also is giving away an Alaska Cruisetour. These land-and-sea packages combine a cruise with inland exploration of Alaska’s national parks and scenic areas.

Multiple $200 Holland America Line gift cards are part of the daily prize lineup. These gift cards apply toward future cruise bookings or onboard expenses.

The grand prize stands out as the most impressive offering. One lucky winner receives a full Grand World Voyage for two guests in either 2026 or 2027.

The Grand World Voyage Grand Prize

Holland America’s Grand World Voyages rank among the most comprehensive cruise experiences available. These extended journeys visit dozens of countries across multiple continents over several months.

The grand prize winner can choose to sail the full voyage or embark on one of the segments. This flexibility lets winners customize the experience to fit their schedule and preferences.

Last year marked the first time Holland America gave away a cruise of this magnitude. The 2024 Great HALiday Giveaway proved so successful that the cruise line brought it back for 2025.

Grand World Voyages typically span three to four months. They visit ports across six continents with extended time in each destination. These voyages appeal to travelers who want deep cultural immersion and extensive exploration.

Special $25 Deposit Offer for All Entrants

Everyone who enters the Great HALiday Giveaway receives something valuable. All entrants get an offer code for $25 deposits on select cruises.

The reduced deposit applies to summer 2026 through spring 2027 cruises. This makes booking a future Holland America cruise more affordable and accessible.

Cole emphasized the promotional aspect of the giveaway. “With exclusive $25 deposits, we hope to inspire even more guests to explore the world with Holland America Line,” she said.
