Holland America Line Introduces the First Lipstick Blending Bar at Sea for Cruise Enthusiasts

Holland America Line Launches Blend Bar at Sea

Holland America Line (HAL) has made waves in the beauty market with the unveiling of its innovative Blend Bar, the first lipstick blending bar aboard a cruise ship. This trailblazing experience allows beauty lovers to craft their own signature lipstick or gloss while enjoying their vacation. As part of HAL's commitment to offering unique and immersive experiences, the Blend Bar offers an artistic take on cruise entertainment, blending beauty with leisure.

An Engaging Beauty Experience

The Blend Bar offers over 30 premium pigments, four luxurious finishes, and more than 20 distinctive flavors. Guests can participate in this creative journey to design a lipstick that is as unique as their individual style. This experience is not only for beauty aficionados but also for anyone looking to take home a memorable souvenir from their cruising adventure.

Accompanied by expert beauty consultants, participants begin their transformation by selecting from a palette of blendable colors to create a custom hue that resonates with their personality or matches a special outfit. The choices do not stop there; they can further personalize their creations by selecting from different finishes—be it butter, crème, matte, or gloss.

Additionally, guests can elevate their lipstick with enticing flavors or vibrant effects like frost, shimmer, or iridescence. The end result? A beautifully crafted lipstick or gloss, ready to take home and show off.

Quality Ingredients for a Luxurious Feel

Holland America Line ensures that the ingredients used at the Blend Bar are of the highest quality. Products are free from harmful substances like parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and GMOs. They are also cruelty-free, gluten-free, and vegan, catering to a wide array of beauty standards. Plus, the pigments are infused with antioxidants and SPF, perfect for daily sun protection while being stylish.

Perfect for All Occasions

The Blend Bar experience is designed to cater to varying groups—be it individual cruisers, friends, or families. Booking for this unique service is available, allowing guests to enjoy a shared creative session or a personal indulgence. The experience provides a fantastic opportunity to celebrate memorable moments on board, be it an anniversary, birthday, or just a fun activity while cruising.

Priced at $65 for a customized lipstick or liquid matte and $60 for a gloss, the experience is a worthwhile investment in a personal memento from your time at sea.

Where to Embark on This Experience

Currently available on several ships, including Nieuw Statendam, Eurodam, Westerdam, Oosterdam, Zuiderdam, Volendam, and Zaandam, the Blend Bar experience will be rolled out to the remaining vessels within Holland America Line's fleet by mid-November. This expansion demonstrates the cruise line's dedication to continually elevating guest experiences through innovation and personalization.

Final Thoughts
