Five reasons to join Holland America Line’s Club Orange

Are you planning a cruise with Holland America Line and fancy elevating your experience? The Club Orange programme is a premium add-on that offers exclusive perks, convenience and luxury. Whether staying in a suite or a stateroom, Club Orange can make your voyage even more special.

If you don’t know about the programme yet (or can’t decide whether it’s right for you), here are our top five reasons to join Club Orange, plus everything you need to know about it.

1. Priority access at every step

From the moment you arrive at the port until the last day of your cruise, Club Orange ensures you spend less time waiting and more time enjoying your holiday.

Benefits include priority check-in, disembarkation and access for tenders to shore. And, Club Orange guests also enjoy expedited service at Guest Services and the Shore Excursions desk, which is invaluable if you need to book or modify plans last minute.

These time-saving perks mean less queuing and more time enjoying your cruise holiday. For those who value efficiency, this feature alone is worth the price.

2. Exclusive dining experiences

A standout benefit of Club Orange is access to an exclusive dining venue. On Pinnacle-class ships like the Rotterdam, Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam, Club Orange guests can dine in a dedicated restaurant for breakfast and dinner. This venue offers expanded menus and a more intimate setting than the main dining areas.

For other ships in the fleet, Club Orange provides priority seating in the main dining room, ensuring quicker service and a seamless dining experience. Personalised service from the dedicated staff makes each meal feel special, with attention to your preferences and the chance to enjoy a more curated menu.

3. Luxurious onboard amenities

Club Orange members receive a range of exclusive amenities that add a touch of luxury to the cruise. These include:

• A welcome glass of sparkling wine upon embarkation
• Plush, upgraded bathrobes in your stateroom
• A distinctive Club Orange keycard and tote bag for easy recognition and as a keepsake
• A free stateroom or suite upgrade within your booked category

The upgrade is subject to availability, and if you cannot be allocated one, the Ship Inventory Team will offer an alternative benefit.

These touches enhance the comfort and exclusivity of your trip.

4. Dedicated concierge and special events

With Club Orange, you receive a dedicated concierge service to handle dining reservations, shore excursion bookings and other onboard requests. This allows you to focus on enjoying your holiday while the details are handled.

Club Orange members receive invitations to special events, such as a private Greenhouse Spa consultation or a coffee chat with onboard entertainers. These events vary by cruise and offer unique ways to engage with the ship's offerings.

5. Value for money

Club Orange is automatically included for guests in Neptune and Pinnacle suites, and those in other staterooms can purchase the programme starting at $25 per person, per day, for cruises of up to 13 days (and $15 per person, per day, for longer cruises).

Considering the value of priority access, exclusive dining and upgraded amenities, the programme offers a compelling return on investment for most cruisers.

Plus, only the first and second guests sharing a stateroom pay the fee; it’s free for the third and fourth, so it's perfect for families and groups travelling together.

Is Club Orange right for you?

If you love top-notch service, shorter lines, exclusive perks and premium dining, Club Orange is a fantastic way to enhance your Holland America Line cruise. The benefits often outweigh the cost, especially on cruises with busy itineraries or limited time in port.

Booking Club Orange is an excellent way to add an extra touch of luxury to your voyage, whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to upgrade your trip.
