Also part of the Black Friday Sale, cruisers who purchase a $500 gift card will receive an additional $50 bonus gift card. A $1,000 gift card comes with a $100 bonus card, and the purchase of two $1,000 gift cards means a $200 gift card bonus. To make the offer even sweeter, guests who make a reservation under the Black Friday Sale can purchase gift cards and apply them to the booking for even more savings. 

Holland America Line gift cards can be applied toward a cruise booking, pre-cruise purchases such as shore excursions, or added to a shipboard account for onboard spending, including specialty restaurants, gift shop, spa services, gratuities, shore excursions, beverages and more.
