Holland America unveils mobile friendly site

Holland America Line now has a mobile
friendly version of its website for all
devices able to connect to the internet.“More and more people are using mobile devices to get things done when
traveling, while waiting in line, and at other so-called down times,” said
Richard D. Meadows, executive vice president, marketing, sales and guest
programs. “So, our new accessibility will allow them to check details and
plan a cruise wherever they are.”

  Web surfers will be automatically redirected to the new mobile site if
a user accesses the site from a mobile device. To mobilize the site, images
were removed and layouts simplified for use on a mobile device.

  The most popular areas of http://www.hollandamerica.com have been
adapted for mobile use. These include the research tools Cruise and
CruiseTour Finder to find travel options and pricing, ports information to
look up such things as departure port details and directions while in a
cab, a complete For Booked Guests section for current cruisers, and the
ability for past guests to look up their Mariner Society number on-line. A
special phone number is listed for those who want to call in and book from
their mobile device, too, since bookings cannot be made through the mobile
website.
