Holland America Line Launches Its Second Annual “Great HALiday Giveaway” And This Cruise-Loving Mama Is Here For It
If you’ve been following TravelingMamas.com for a while, you already know I have a soft spot for Holland America Line. I’ve sailed with them more times than I can count…Alaska’s glaciers, Mexican coastlines, Caribbean sunsets, and every single cruise voyage has been a blend of comfort, culture, and that signature HAL warmth.
So when I heard they’ve brought back their Great HALiday Giveaway for the second year in a row, I knew I had to share the news with you. Consider this your official excuse to sprinkle a little wanderlust into your holiday season.
From December 5–16, 2025, you can visit the Great HALiday Giveaway website daily to enter for a chance to win some seriously exciting prizes:
- Cruises for two to Alaska, Europe, the Caribbean, Canada/New England, and Pacific Coastal itineraries
- An Alaska Cruisetour
- $200 HAL gift cards
- And the big one… a full Grand World Voyage in 2026 or 2027 for two lucky guests
Think of it like a digital advent calendar for travel lovers – you open the “door,” see the prize of the day, and toss your name in the hat.
But what I really appreciate about this giveaway is that everyone wins something. Each entrant receives a $25 deposit offer for select 2026–2027 cruises when booked by December 31, 2025. If you’ve been dreaming of returning to Alaska or exploring Europe’s summer ports, this is a pretty fantastic opportunity to get that planning started.
Last year was the first time Holland America gave away a Grand World Voyage (one of the most iconic experiences in the cruise world) so to see them bring it back says a lot about their commitment to inspiring travelers. And honestly? Sailing around the globe is the kind of bucket-list adventure many families dream about. Whether you take the full voyage or opt for a segment, it’s a chance to see the world in comfort and style.
If you want to add a little magic to your holiday season, head over to the giveaway site and enter daily. You never know…next year’s family adventure might just start with a click.
