Holland America's New Smoking Policy

We recently received an update from Holland America regarding the onboard smoking policy. Please read further for the full policy.

In keeping with the majority of our guest preferences, we are changing our smoking policy as of January 15, 2012. For cruises starting on or after this date, all stateroom interiors will be non-smoking. Guests who smoke in their staterooms once this change has taken place will be charged a $250.00 cleaning fee.

Our policies on smoking in public areas are not changing. Consequently, while most public areas are non-smoking, there are areas within each ship in which smoking is still permitted. In addition, smoking is permitted on most outside decks and on stateroom verandahs.

Cigar and pipe smoking is only permitted on the outside decks.

We are eager to welcome you onboard, and look forward to making your voyage an unforgettable cruise experience.
