Holland America just launched a new refer-a-friend program that lets past guests earn future cruise credits by referring friends and family to make new cruise bookings.
Here are all of the details of this new program.
Holland America’s New Refer-A-Friend Program
After a vacation, we often share our experiences with family and friends. Now, Holland America is rewarding you for doing just that.
If you’ve cruised with Holland America in the past, you’re automatically a member of the Mariner Society, Holland America’s loyalty program, and can now make referrals.
Each time you refer a friend or family member who is new to Holland America and makes a booking, you’ll earn a $50 future cruise credit that can be used on your next cruise.
The friend that you refer is also rewarded. They’ll get a $50 onboard credit per person that can be used for things like specialty dining, spa treatments, shore excursions, or gift shop purchases.
In addition to this new refer-a-friend benefit, Mariner Society members are eligible for a host of other perks including discounts, onboard credits, a welcome lunch, priority embarkation, and much more.
Bottom Line: Holland America Mariner Society members can now refer their friends and family and be rewarded. Each time a new Holland America customer books through a referral the Mariner Society member gets a $50 future cruise credit and the new customer gets a $50 onboard credit.
