Not all Holland America Line ships have self-service laundries, which means you may need to purchase one of the HAL laundry packages.
Indeed, only two ships in the fleet have a self-service laundry – Amsterdam and Maasdam. These have coin operated washers and dryers, but the irons and ironing boards are free to use.
However, there are no self-service laundry facilities on the other cruise ships in the fleet (that includes Nieuw Statendam). So it’s worth knowing about the various HAL laundry prices.
The HAL laundry packages
That said, there are a range of HAL laundry packages available, some of which represent especially good value for money.
Laundry By The Bag
US$30 per bag.
All the laundry you can fit into one of the standard laundry bags. (Dry cleaning not included).
Unlimited Laundry
US$63 for a 7-day cruise.
US$126 for a 14-day cruise.
Have your clothes washed and ironed every day and enjoy a hassle free, wrinkle free cruise vacation. This is a great value HAL laundry package. It works out at just US$9 per day.
Unlimited Pressing
US$35 for a 7-day cruise.
US$70 for a 14-day cruise.
Have your clothes neatly pressed, anytime.
Things worth knowing
It’s worth noting that it takes up to 48 hours for laundry and pressing to be returned. So, Holland America Line ask that your final laundry/pressing be received no later than 48-hours before disembarkation. Also, there can be variations on these standard laundry prices.
For more information about the HAL laundry prices please visit their website.

Laundry service. Is it per person or per stateroom ?
Dear Beth,
Thank you for your question. The price is per stateroom, regardless of the number of people per room. It’s worth noting that the laundry turnaround time is 48 hours.
I hope this helps.

Can we get laundry done and hung to dry. I don’t put anything in the dryer because of shrinkage.
Hi Kim,
Thank you for your question. Generally the laundry is washed, dried and ironed before being returned to your stateroom.
You would need to talk with your stateroom attendant about any specific laundry handling requests.

Going on the 23 day cruise
on the nieuw Amsterdam
How much is it for the 23 day
Dear Helen
Thank you for your question. The standard Holland America Line Unlimited Laundry packages include 7, 10, 12 and 14 day options. However, they all cost USD 9 per day. So expect to pay USD 207 for a 23 day voyage.
I hope this information helps.

I have a travel steamer, am I allowed to bring it or do you have irons in the staterooms?
Dear Lori
Thank you for your question. Some Holland America Line ships do have laundry rooms, however others do not. Laundry rooms will be noted on deck plans. HAL do offer laundry packages (as detailed on this page).
The cruise line do not allow irons to be used in their staterooms or suites as they are a fire hazard.
I hope this helps.

Hi Jason,
We are about to embark on and Around the World cruise and would like to know about how much a Laundry Package and Beverage Package for 128 day cruise…Thank you for your help
I have clients who will be on Westerdam 12/20/2022 for cruise. What is cost of
laundry service for the 30 days of their cruise?
Dear Mary
Thank you for visiting The Luxury Cruise Review, and also for your question. We have a similar question here which we are awaiting clarification on from HAL. That said, the 7 and 14-day laundry packages are both priced at USD 9 per day. So based on that a 30-day launrdy package would cost USD 270.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards

We will be on the Nieuw Statendam for 15 days in spring. We plan to travel around Greece for 10 days before joining this ship in Rome. We will need to do a load possibly two by the time we get on the ship. How much does it cost ? Do you do per bag or per item ?
