Set Sail for Bubbles: Holland America's Sparkling New Partnership

Although vacation spending is in a temporary slump due to election anxiety that is not stopping Holland America from breaking out the bubbly in a very personal way as they launch their very own sparkling wine.  Created in partnership with Four Feathers Wine Services, this isn’t just any bubbly—this is "serious" fizz with a touch of Washington State magic. And let’s face it, nothing says "luxury cruise" quite like sipping sparkling wine while cruising through crystal-blue waters.

While some may think a ship’s bar is reserved for mai tais and margaritas, Holland America has loftier goals. Senior beverage manager Drew Foulk clearly had something special in mind when he set out to create a sparkling wine that elevates the entire cruising experience. With notes of ripe peach, vanilla custard, and Granny Smith apple, this is no ordinary sparkling—it’s practically "a cruise for your taste buds."

And what better way to pair your elegant meal in the ship’s fine dining room than with bubbles that taste like crème brûlée and praline? You won’t be celebrating just one special occasion onboard—this wine might just turn every meal into a celebration. Whether it’s a toast to the sunset or a clink of glasses before tonight's Broadway-style performance, this wine fits every perfect moment on board.

Of course, we can’t forget the magic behind the bottle. Four Feathers Wine Services, a family-owned winemaking company rooted in Washington since the 1880s, knows how to bring the best of their sustainably farmed estate-grown grapes to life. With this new sparkling wine, Holland America guests get a little taste of that long winemaking tradition with every sip—without even leaving the ship!

So, here’s to Holland America and Four Feathers for crafting a wine as elegant and refined as the cruises themselves. The perfect way to sail in style just got a little more "bubbly."
