Holland America’s Denali Lodge on Track to Complete $70 Million Refurb for 2027 Season

Holland America Line is on track to complete a series of major enhancements at its Holland America Denali Lodge property in time for the 2027 cruise/tour season. The $70 million multi-year investment is underway with many upgrades already finished, including renovated accommodations, refreshed public spaces, and expanded culinary offerings.

Final enhancements still underway include the construction of two new guest buildings replacing older structures, equating to new rooms and an increase in Lodge capacity by 72 rooms. The Main Lodge is also being redesigned and refreshed, and the Grizzly Grind coffee shop will be completely renovated.

Other projects that have already been completed included an enhanced riverside interpretive trail with new scenic viewpoints, improved on-site wayfinding throughout the property, expanded seating at the Karstens Public House, the introduction of Outpost Coffee + Provisions convenience store concept, and revamped food and beverage menus across multiple dining venues under the guidance of Culinary Ambassador Ethan Stowell featuring regional ingredients.

In 2027, Holland America will offer a series of 19 cruise/tour options from May to September, ranging from nine to 17 nights. The itineraries combine a three- to seven-night Alaska cruise with an overland journey to Denali National Park and Canada’s Yukon Territory. Every cruise/tour visits the park and includes a one- to three-night stay at Holland America Denali Lodge.
