SEATTLE, April 27, 2017 /CNW/ -- Holland America Line
is changing the way guests digitally access shipboard experiences
and information across the fleet with the launch of Holland America
Line Navigator, a free mobile-friendly tool. Navigator does not
need to be downloaded in advance, does not require an internet
connection and works on the browsers of most personal devices
including phones, tablets and laptops.
Using Navigator, guests can plan their daily activities, explore
and book shore excursions, view restaurant menus and make dining
reservations, view spa treatments, connect to paid internet and
look at their shipboard account balance. Additional features
include access to ship deck plans, a list of frequently asked
questions (FAQs) and links to complimentary internet sites such as
hollandamerica.com. Navigator can be accessed by connecting to the
ship's Wi-Fi network and opening the device's browser.
"Consumers expect to be able to plan their activities digitally,
and Navigator makes it easy for our guests to put many of our
shipboard experiences at their fingertips," said Orlando Ashford, president of Holland America
Line. "Navigator is changing the way we're presenting various
options on board, and with all of the convenient features it's
easier than ever to plan your time and have instant access to
personalized cruise details."
To access the full functionality of Navigator, guests can create
an account by following a simple registration process. Registering
allows guests to plan a personal itinerary, make dining
reservations, book shore excursions, view shipboard account
information and connect to paid internet. There are no charges to
register or use Navigator.
One of the key features of Navigator is that it allows guests to
select and save specific activities to a personalized "my
itinerary" to plan out their cruise days up to a week in advance.
Those activities show up alongside booked dining reservations and
shore excursions to truly help the guest get the most out of their
time aboard.
