Holland America Line is an international cruise company founded in 1873, originally established to provide passenger and cargo transportation between the Netherlands and North America. Today, headquartered in Seattle, Washington, the company operates premium cruise vacations to destinations across the globe, including Alaska, the Caribbean, Europe, Australia, South America and Asia. As part of Carnival Corporation & plc, Holland America Line offers voyages emphasizing destination experiences, onboard hospitality, cultural enrichment and culinary services. Its operations support tourism and economic activity in the ports and communities visited by its ships. The company also promotes responsible travel and initiatives intended to reduce its environmental footprint and protect marine environments.

Holland America Line contributes to charitable causes through financial donations, in-kind support and partnerships with nonprofit organizations. Its On Deck for a Cause program invites guests and crew members to participate in onboard fundraising walks, with proceeds benefiting selected charitable organizations. The company also provides reduced-fare cruise certificates that eligible nonprofits can use in fundraising activities and charitable auctions. Its giving initiatives support causes connected to ocean conservation, community well-being and humanitarian assistance. In 2026, the company selected Conservation International as the beneficiary of its On Deck for a Cause: Healthy Oceans walks on sailings outside Alaska, directing guest contributions toward protecting and restoring marine habitats. Through these initiatives, Holland America Line combines its travel operations with charitable engagement and environmental responsibility.
