Looking to take your Holland America Line cruise vacation to the next level? You may want to check out the line’s newest program – Club Orange.
Scheduled to be introduced on Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam in December 2018, with a rollout to the rest of the fleet in 2019, Club Orange offers exclusive benefits and amenities to guests in Neptune and Pinnacle Suite categories and a “small number” of non-suite staterooms.
So what does one get with Club Orange? Aboard Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam, the Culinary Arts Center dining venue is being transformed into an exclusive Club Orange restaurant that will be open every day for breakfast and dinner at no additional charge. The venue will have the same menu featured in Pinnacle Grill (breakfast) and the Dining Room (dinner) and also include additional daily dishes exclusive to the Club Orange restaurant.
When Club Orange is introduced on other ships of the fleet in 2019, a dedicated section of the Dining Room will be set aside for the exclusive use of Club Orange guests for breakfast and dinner.
Club Orange guests will receive priority check-in and disembarkation, priority tender service and priority alternative restaurant reservations made on board, a dedicated line at Guest Services and the EXC Tours shore excursion desk, as well as a dedicated concierge hotline on board for dining reservations, shore excursion assistance, general questions and support.
Additional benefits to Club Orange include an enhanced in-stateroom à la carte breakfast dining menu with complimentary premium selections such as steak and eggs or smoked salmon Benedict, a welcome glass of sparkling wine at dinner on embarkation day, premium bathrobe for use in the stateroom, and an exclusive Club Orange tote bag.
Club Orange is an add-on experience and will cost $50 per person per day with the first and second persons in the stateroom required to pay. Third and fourth guests in the stateroom are included at no additional charge. Club Orange must be purchased prior to cruise departure and is not available for purchase on board.
If you’re wondering where the name “Club Orange” came from, according to Holland America, the name pays homage to Holland America Line’s rich Dutch heritage. The company was founded in the Netherlands more than 145 years ago and it’s the color of the Dutch Royal Family, which hails from the House of Orange.
