Child Policy

Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian over the age of 18 at all times. Please refer to the cruise line policy for specific requirements. Infants must be at least 6 months of age at the time of embarkation in order to sail. Children must be at least 12 months of age at the time of embarkation to sail on trans-ocean crossings and remote itineraries, where there are more than 2 consecutive sea days.
Pregnant Women
Women cannot have begun their 24th week of pregnancy at any time before or during the cruise. If you are pregnant or sailing with a guest who is pregnant they must provide a physician’s letter stating the expected due date, medical fitness to travel and the pregnancy is not high risk.
Accessibility and Mobility
For individuals with limited mobility, the use of a wheelchair will be the primary mobility assistance aid for getting on and off the ship. Certain ship transfer operations (i.e. during tendering and at the gangways) may not be fully accessible to wheelchairs or scooters. When a ship is unable to dock, guests are taken ashore on smaller boats called tenders. Some guests with limited mobility may find it difficult to embark or disembark the ship at certain times while tendering or while docked due to steep gangways and steps, particularly during low or high tide. Also, please note that scooters and wheelchairs that are more than 100 lbs. without the battery are not allowed to be transferred from the ship to tender and/or from tender to shore. Holland America is not able to provide complimentary wheelchair assistance for any purpose other than embarkation, disembarkation, and emergency situations. Situations may occur in which guests with limited mobility may not be able to go ashore at the time they desire or are unable to go ashore at all in certain ports. For the safety of all concerned, the Captain shall make the final determination regarding whether or not it is advisable to provide assistance to guests with mobility limitations, or to carry their mobility assistance device (wheelchair, scooter, walker, etc.), taking into account all appropriate matters including, but not limited to, weather conditions, ship’s location, weight of the guest or their mobility device, etc.
Passports and Visas
All passport and visa requirements are the sole responsibility of the traveler. Redwood Travel Partners and Dave Koz and Friends at Sea do not advise on passport and visa requirements. It is your sole responsibility to obtain and have available the proper travel documents necessary for your travel, including all associated costs related to obtaining your travel documents. Boarding may be denied if you arrive at the pier without the proper travel documentation, and in that case you would not be eligible for a refund. Every country has its own entry requirements, and guests assume personal responsibility for having the necessary documents when boarding. Dave Koz and Friends at Sea, Redwood Travel Partners and Holland America highly recommend that all guests carry a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond the completion date of your travel date. Having a passport will enable you to fly from the U.S. to a foreign port in the event you miss your scheduled embarkation or to fly back to the U.S. if you need to disembark the ship mid-cruise due to an emergency.
Passports are sometimes surrendered to and held by the pursers on board to facilitate clearances in ports of call. It is prudent to photocopy the identification page of your passport and pack it separately, in case of loss or damage to the original. Your name on your travel documents (passport, Alien Resident card, birth certificate, etc.) must be identical to those on your cruise documents. Otherwise, proof of name change (e.g. a marriage license) with a valid driver’s license (or other government issued photo ID) must be presented. Any discrepancies may prevent travel.
PLEASE NOTE: In addition, visas or other documents may be required, depending on your citizenship or residency and the itinerary. It is your sole responsibility to obtain all necessary documents for all ports of call on your itinerary. Boarding may be denied or fines levied against those guests without proper documentation. Payment of any fines levied is the responsibility of the individual guest.
Excluded Charges
Charges are “cruise only” and are based upon double occupancy and do not include airfare, ground transportation, onboard purchases, purchased drinks onboard or excursions. Fuel Surcharge: Holland America Cruise Line reserves the right to implement a fuel charge if oil prices rise above $70.00 a barrel with a maximum of $10.00 per person per day.
Pre and/or Post Cruise Packages are subject to different penalties for changes or cancellations. These will be determined by the vendors that are used.
Any disputes arising from the Dave Koz and Friends at Sea Cruise must be settled in California. Information and pricing is subject to change without notice. While we do our very best to ensure that information and pricing are complete and accurate, we cannot be responsible for incomplete and inaccurate representations, which may or may not be under our control. In the event of a pricing error, misrepresentation or omission, we reserve the right to adjust the pricing or make any other corrections. We reserve the right to change all itineraries and entertainers without notice and with no further obligation.
