"Holland America Orange Party"

The Holland America Orange Party 

is a fun, themed event on 

Holland America Line cruises 

that celebrates the Dutch heritage 

of the cruise line.

It's typically held on one evening 

of each cruise and involves 

wearing orange attire, 

enjoying orange-themed decorations, 

drinks, and appetizers, 

and celebrating with live music 

and performances. 

The party is a nod to 

the Dutch royal family, 

the House of Orange, 

and is often held in conjunction 

with King's Day, a Dutch national holiday. 

While not mandatory, 

the party encourages guests to 

wear orange outfits and accessories, 

like wigs, hats, boas, and bowties. 

I ordered 3 orange shawls on line and 1 tie

(Forgot to take pics during embroidery stages...)

Alas, My orange blends a bit too well :(

For Scott I kept it simple 

and embellished a tie 

with an anchor and his initials

Hope they will be fun surprises 

and perfect for the theme night!
