Holland America Line (HAL) has launched its second annual “Great HALiday Giveaway,” a 12-day online event running from December 5 to December 16, 2025. The promotion allows participants to enter daily on the dedicated giveaway website for a chance to win a variety of prizes. The grand prize is a full Grand World Voyage for two guests, with the winner choosing to sail in either 2026 or 2027. This prize is significant, as the Grand World Voyage is a journey of this magnitude that the cruise line has only offered as a giveaway since 2024.
Daily prizes offered in the promotion include cruises for two to various destinations such as Alaska, the Caribbean, Europe, Canada/New England, and the Pacific Coastal region. The prizes also feature an Alaska Cruisetour and $200 Holland America Line gift cards. Much like an advent calendar, participants select a “door” each day to reveal the prize available for that entry period. Every daily entry is automatically counted as a chance to win the grand prize world cruise.
In addition to the chance to win prizes, all entrants receive an exclusive offer: a special $25 deposit for select cruises sailing from summer 2026 through spring 2027. This reduced deposit offer is valid for bookings made by December 31, 2025, though it excludes Grand Voyages and cruises five days or shorter. According to Kacy Cole, HAL’s chief marketing officer, the event is designed to inspire travelers and reflect the holiday spirit of sharing joy and connecting to the world.
