Holland America Alcohol Policy

Allowed, with limits

Wine and champagne only, at embarkation, each bottle 750 ml or less. Holland America does not publish a fixed per-guest bottle count and may refuse quantities it deems excessive. Beer and spirits are not permitted. Any alcohol other than wine or champagne, whether brought at embarkation or bought in a port, is held for safekeeping and returned on the last day of the voyage.

$20per bottle

A $20 per bottle corkage fee applies when your own wine or champagne is opened or served in a dining venue or public area. Wine supplied by Holland America is exempt.

Offered

Holland America offers a drink package but does not publish a fixed daily price. It is quoted by ship and sailing when you book.

21

The default minimum drinking age is 21, stated in the Cruise Contract. Holland America does not offer a parental-consent exception for guests under 21. Certain international itineraries set a lower age, such as 18 on some voyages round-trip from Australia, New Zealand, or Europe, and 20 on voyages round-trip from Japan.

The Signature Beverage Package covers drinks up to $12 each with a daily limit of 15 beverages and an 18% service charge included; if a drink costs more, you pay only the difference. The Elite package raises the cap to $16. All adults of legal drinking age in a stateroom must buy the same package, and Holland America does not publish a fixed daily price. 'Have It All' is a promotional fare bundle that packages the Signature Beverage Package with extras like shore excursions and Wi-Fi, distinct from buying the package on its own. Sodas and energy drinks may not be brought aboard; bottled water is capped at 6 liters per stateroom.
