Holland America Line (HAL) has announced the latest winners of its 150th anniversary competition.
Every week in January, the line is giving away a host of prizes to agents who have made bookings during the wave period.
Speaking during a Travel Weekly Webcast, HAL’s UK sales and marketing director Karen Farndell revealed this week’s winners were Angela Stratton, Riviera Travel; Lesley Walsh, Hays Travel; Megan Lewis, Cruise Club UK; Emma Browne, Cruise Circle; and Adam Brinklow, Canadian Affair.
The agents won prizes including an Alaska fam trip place, a luxury spa day, a bottle of specially crafted gin to celebrate the lines anniversary, a “VIP ship visit” which includes some “surprise touches”, and a hosted team night out.
Farndell encouraged agents to continue to make bookings to be in with a chance of winning and reminded trade partners that even if they didn’t win this week, their entry will roll over to next week’s prize draw.

She went on to say it is a continuing to be a busy month as she is attending the Carnival UK Cruise Awards on Wednesday, and added “January is doing its thing”.
