Holland America Line Launches Summer 2013 Dream Cruise Sweepstakes Over Facebook

Holland America Line has launched a sweepstakes on Facebook that will award one fan a seven-day “Summer 2013 Dream Cruise” for two in an ocean-view stateroom to Europe, Canada/New England or Alaska. The sweepstakes runs through Oct. 31, 2012, with the winner selected upon the close of the sweepstakes.

All Holland America Facebook fans have the opportunity to share their travel desires on Facebook. By choosing from 12  images, fans get to showcase their top three cruise destinations for 2013 and share these favorites with friends via their Facebook wall; however, doing so is not required for sweepstakes entry. The Dream Cruise sweepstakes may be viewed here.

To enter the sweepstakes, Facebook users must “like” Holland America Line’s Facebook page, while current Holland America Facebook fans will click on the “win a cruise” icon on the line’s Facebook page. The entry form must be completed for a chance to win the cruise. The sweepstakes is limited to legal residents 18 years of age or older from the United States, District of Columbia, Canada — except Quebec — and the United Kingdom.

Holland America Line also enhanced its Roll Call tab, making it easier for Holland America Facebook fans to connect and stay in touch with fellow shipmates who are traveling or have sailed on the same cruise. Other enhancements include improved cruise search functions and the ability to “Roll Call” for up to three months after the cruise to re-contact new cruise friends met on board and share stories and photos.

Guests can click on the Roll Call icon and enter the month of their cruise and the ship name to “join” and begin getting or giving advice, asking questions about what to do while on their cruise, and more. Roll Call cruisers may also set up an exclusive shipboard “meet and greet” in advance through the line’s Onboard Events team. Roll Call may be viewed here.
