Disability Requirements

At Holland America Line we do not discriminate against individuals on the basis of disability. We seek to the extent feasible to accommodate the needs of all individuals with disabilities, including children. However, due to the sensitivity of caring for a guest with or without a disability, we must first determine what the guest’s specific needs are so we may properly evaluate and determine the best and safest way to meet their needs. We encourage guests to contact our Guest Accessibility Department prior to their cruise, to evaluate and determine what the child’s specific needs will be and how best to accommodate those needs.  Club HAL is unable to accommodate children requiring one-on-one care into programming.  Special needs participants who meet eligibility requirements and require one-on-one care must have a parent or guardian present.
