The price is the total you pay, no sneaky extra fees. At under $140 a day, this deal is solid.
Over 2,100 people can cruise on this top-rated Signature class ship, based in Alaska and the Caribbean and refurbished only two years ago in 2023.
The Nieuw Amsterdam Holland America delights guests with a casino, seven jacuzzis, a spa, and a gym.
Since being listed a few months ago, the cost of this cruise has remained at $2,224. This graph displays the price over time for each class of cabin. Now this sailing is at its lowest price, so lock in your cabin now before it rises.
