We encourage you to book through Holland America with Jennifer Hudgins. She is our personal Cruise Consultant with Holland America Line. We found the price to be comparable to what was advertised elsewhere. Please let Jennifer know you are traveling with Apple Yarns.  This will enable the ship to offer our group more incentives while on board.

You are responsible for paying for this cruise directly to Holland America, as well as taxes, insurance, upgrades, and amenities. We are sorry, but there is no VIP discount on the cruise or bus travel, but it can be applied to the custom Tote Bag.

This is the only retreat planned for 2025.
