Cruises can be a great way to see the world and visit multiple places in one holiday! Holland America Line would love you to share what your dream cruise destination would be and why you would choose that place.
Here’s what Orlando Ashford President of Holland America Line has to say: “A Holland America Line cruise does so much more than merely take people from one place to the next. It enriches and enlightens us as we discover new places, cultures and people. It brings the world closer together, journey by journey”
Perhaps you have a city halfway across the world that you would love to visit? Maybe you would like to visit a country you’ve never been to before but is a little closer to home? Or do you dream of taking a trip to a small island somewhere?
Whatever your ideal cruise destination share it on the thread below, along with reason why and you’ll be entered into a prize draw where one GNer will win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).
Thanks and good luck!

On my ideal cruise, I’d want lots of stops
To interesting places; at sea for short hops,
Then on land exploring magical sights,
I’d work off my intake of foody delights.
And as to the place, most venues would fit
On our beautiful planet. Let’s see all of it!
But if I must choose, if you will pin me down,
I’d like to be warm, I’d like to turn brown.
So the Med would suit me: the Greek Islands beckon,
Full of classical history. What do you reckon?
Temples and urns, goats, an olive tree,
Think of it now – I'm all at sea:
I see Mykonos on the horizon: we’ll be there in record time,
And I’m sitting in a deck chair, slowly sipping a gin and lime.
Next we’re going to Naxos: Zeus’s childhood home,
Here I pick up some pretty shells. Here, there’s time to beachcomb.
Santorini comes later, a vision in blue and white
Where a rhyolitic eruption put the Aegean to flight.
I’d like to call in at Athens to clock the Coliseum,
No doubt the site will cause me to burst into a Te Deum
There are so many places, and there is so little time
But I’ll have to leave it here because this daydream’s run out of rhyme.
Pretty much anywhere in the Caribbean. As long as there are clear skies and smooth waters i'm happy
