For those who have sailed even just once with Holland America Line, there’s now more to enjoy on future cruises. The new Mariner Society Rewards Program provides past guests with exciting new benefits from generous onboard discounts to reduced rates when booking future cruises.
The Mariner Society Rewards Program offers four levels of membership with a wide range of cruise and on-board savings and extra values. All guests who sail with Holland America Line are automatically welcomed into the Mariner Society and are eligible to receive special offers on upcoming cruises as well as advance information about new ships and other “enhancements”.
Guests who complete their initial cruise with Holland America Line are automatically enrolled in the Mariner Society’s first level, Star Mariner, earning cruise days towards future cruises and an exclusive collectable gift. Among the features of Star Mariner status: special offers on select sailings, 50 percent discount for third and fourth guests on select sailings, hosted sailings with Holland America Line Ambassadors, a relaxing “Welcome Back Embarkation Brunch” on future cruises, a subscription to the Mariner Magazine and a Mariner Champagne Brunch on future cruises.
After 30 cruise day credits earned, Two-Star Mariner guests receive all the amenities of a Star Mariner plus shopping discounts and 10 percent off logo apparel items in the on-board gift shops. Two-Star Mariners also will receive a complimentary ship photo and be sent an exclusive annual cruise planner and special recognition pin.

At the top of the tiers, with 200 cruise days earned, Four-Star Mariner guests enjoy the benefits of all Star levels below and the bonus of free fare for third and fourth guests on select sailings; complimentary wine tasting and laundry/pressing; a 50 percent discount on all wine packages, mini-bar purchases, Explorations Cafe drinks and alternative restaurant surcharges; a 15 percent discount on logo apparel items onboard in the gift shops; priority tender service and check-in; priority shore excursion pre-booking; and a free subscription to Food and Wine magazine or Travel and Leisure magazine.
