Waterways of wonder

Offering more sailings that include Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve than any other cruise line, Holland America Line’s six spacious ships give guests a front-row seat to Alaska’s stunning Inside Passage.

The Gold Rush comes alive in rollicking Skagway, located at the northernmost end of breathtaking Lynn Canal. Ride the renowned White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad across stunning mountains, waterfalls and glistening glaciers connecting Skagway to the Yukon. Stroll along Ketchikan’s colorful Creek Street boardwalk. Explore intricately carved totem poles and other cultural sites of Native Alaskan Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian nations. Explore mighty Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska’s capital city of Juneau and view bald eagles, owls, hawks, and falcons in Sitka’s unique 17-acre Alaska Raptor Center.

Take a cruisetour into Alaska’s majestic interior

Wander deeper into the Great Land on a cruisetour to Denali or the Yukon & Denali, and combine an Alaska cruise with an authentic land tour. Holland America Line offers a variety of Denali cruisetours ranging from 9 to 14 days.
