Last-Minute Fantastic Cruise-Only Specials from Holland America for 2012 Thanksgiving 

ORLANDO, Fla. (Oct. 15, 2012) – Still unsure of your Thanksgiving plans? This is the year to begin a new tradition and plan a cruise over the Thanksgiving holiday, say the travel experts at Cruises-N-More.

“My family loves a cruise over the holidays,” says Cruises-N-More Vice President and Owner Tiffany Neidhardt. “It’s a wonderful time to relax and enjoy the occasion, and a line like Holland America is the perfect venue to experience a terrific Thanksgiving vacation.”

This is the perfect time to book your 2012 Thanksgiving voyage, and here are 5 great reasons to begin a new holiday tradition:

1. Right now HAL is offering fantastic deals for 2012 Thanksgiving cruises (see full list below).

Double Cabins – Prices as low as $440 per person plus taxes, plus 10% OBC

Triple/Quad Cabins – Prices listed are the grand total for either three or four in the same cabin. As an example, Eurodam costs $879 plus taxes for either three or four guests in the same cabin. Divide the total by three and the cost is $293 each plus taxes; for four the cost is $219.75 each plus taxes.

2. Let a world class chef make thanksgiving dinner for you and your family. Worried that you’ll miss the traditional Thanksgiving feast? Don’t be! Cruise menus fit the season, with world-class chefs preparing traditional Thanksgiving fare including turkey and all the fixings. And the best part? You don’t have to cook!

3. Holiday shopping in exotic locals equals extraordinary holiday gifts. Visiting exotic ports right before the holiday gift giving season is the perfect way to find unique gifts for the special people in your life.

4. Take a break before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season hits. The four-day break at Thanksgiving can be easily stretched to a week simply by taking a few extra days off; perfect for a week-long cruise! There’s no better time to take a relaxing vacation than right before the shopping, parties and holiday commitments kick in.

5. A Thanksgiving cruise allows you to truly experience the spirit of the occasion. Without the planning, cooking, cleaning and stress that come with hosting a Thanksgiving celebration, you can focus on the people and things in life that you are truly thankful for. And isn’t that the whole point of Thanksgiving?
