Why Veterans at Sea?

What better way to celebrate Veteran's Day than on a CRUISE? Join fellow veterans and their families for a week at sea exploring the stunning Baja Peninsula aboard Holland America's Koningsdam. This is more than a cruise. It's a chance to connect with those who understand your service, swap stories and enjoy the camaraderie that comes from shared experience.

Prior to embarkation, you will have the opportunity to visit the USS Midway Museum in San Diego, if desired. It is located directly next to the cruise port. These tickets are complimentary. It's a powerful start to a week that honors your service!
 

Once aboard Koningsdam on November 6th, you'll join your fellow travelers for an exclusive Meet and Greet followed by a Cocktail Party. These aren't stuffy events. They're your chance to put faces to names and start building connections that will last well beyond the week.
 

This cruise falls on Veterans Day, November 11th, and we'll mark the occasion with a special silent walk on deck to honor those who did not make it home. It will be a moment of reflection and remembrance, shared with people who understand the weight of that sacrifice. This is one of those experiences that makes this trip different from any other cruise you'll take.
 

The itinerary is relaxed by design. We'll spend three full days at sea where you can do as much or as little as you want. Explore the ship, catch up on reading, or just sit with a drink and watch the ocean roll by. When we make port in Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, and Loreto, you'll have the freedom to explore on your own or join optional excursions that range from fishing and snorkeling to cultural tours and local cuisine. There will be several private events while on the ship that you can participate in.
 

Veterans at Sea was built by veterans for veterans. Whether you served two years or twenty, are traveling solo or with your spouse, friend, or family, you'll find great company, flexibility, and an experience that honors your service without making it the only thing we talk about.
