| Details | | Holland America Line | | | | | * FUEL SUPPLEMENT UPDATE
December 4, 2008
As fuel prices continue to decline, Holland America Line has announced that it will suspend fuel supplements effective for all voyages departing on or after December 17, 2008.
A refund of the fuel supplement will be made in the form of a shipboard credit for all bookings within the final payment period for departures on or after December 17, 2008. All bookings outside of the final payment period for departures on or after December 17, 2008 will be adjusted to remove the fuel supplement and guests will be provided with a revised final payment amount.
As the price of oil has dropped to $46 per barrel, it has now reached a level where we are able to suspend the fuel supplement.
We reserve the right to re-instate the fuel supplement for all guests at up to $9 per person per day should the price of light sweet crude oil according to the NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange Index) increase above $70 per barrel.
It is our hope that fuel prices have stabilized and will remain at a more rational level. The complete suspension of the fuel supplement makes the inherent value of a cruise even greater and that is increasingly important in the selection of a vacation in the current economic climate.
Fare shown is per person, double occupancy. Fare is shown in U.S. Dollars and includes port charges. Government fees and taxes are additional. Fares are subject to change without notice. Offers are capacity controlled with a select number of cabins available and may be withdrawn at any time. |
