Holland America Vacation Stimulus Plan

Yes, it's another offer designed to prompt you to book your 2009 cruise now! This one is from Holland America, and does have a few nice features.

The components of this plan are:
50% reduced deposit on all cruises sailing on or after May 1, 2009
Up to 25% discount on vacation protection (trip insurance) through Holland America (I don't generally recommend cruise line plans, but this might be worth considering for some people, depending on the cruise and circumstances)
Low fares, including the View and Verandah sale with upgrades from Inside to Oceanview as little as $50/person, or Oceanview to Balcony as low as $100/person
Suspended fuel supplement - Holland America suspended fuel supplements for departures on or after December 17, 2008
Easier free berths for group leaders - time to schedule that group cruise you've been thinking of!

These offers are effective now, so if you've been considering Holland America, they're making it a bit easier for you to book.
