Holland America's nearly 80-year legacy in Alaska has resulted in uniquely deep insights, offering journeys that showcase the best of Alaska’s wildlife, glaciers, and rich cultural heritage.
There are destinations you visit — and then there’s Alaska, a place you feel. Towering glaciers, breaching whales, and vast wilderness exist on a scale that demands more than a typical vacation. In 2027, Holland America invites you to experience the Great Land with the cruise line that’s been exploring Alaska longer than any other.
Holland America has been sharing Alaska’s majesty with guests since 1947 — before it was even a state! This nearly 80-year legacy has resulted in uniquely deep insights, which the cruise line has used to craft journeys that showcase the best of Alaska’s wildlife, glaciers, and rich cultural heritage.
From Alaska Up Close® Presentations and National Park Service Rangers on board to curated excursions and cultural programming ashore, Holland America’s immersive programming brings meaning to every mile.
Seven- to 28-day itineraries and convenient departures from Seattle and Vancouver make it easy to access Alaska’s iconic highlights — from Glacier Bay to Denali National Park.
Holland America is the first and only cruise line to offer an Alaska Glacier Guarantee™.
Cruise Alaska with Holland America, and you’re guaranteed to see an Alaska glacier or receive a Future Cruise Credit equal to 15% of your cruise fare. Whether viewed from the deck, a kayak, or even a helicopter, these blue-hued ice giants create moments that stay with you long after you return home.
Alaska’s wildlife encounters are as awe-inspiring as its landscapes — and Holland America leads the way.
Choose from 200+ animal sanctuary and sightseeing opportunities, including unforgettable experiences through Holland America’s exclusive partnership with the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.
Whether you’re watching humpback whales breach off the bow, spotting bald eagles soaring overhead, or searching for Alaska’s “Big 5” wildlife in Denali National Park & Preserve, each moment reveals the untamed spirit of Alaska in ways few journeys can match.
Holland America is the first and only cruise line triple-certified for serving 100% fresh, certified sustainable, and traceable wild Alaska seafood on board. From specialty cocktails crafted with freshly calved glacial ice to locally inspired dishes and fresh-caught fish from Alaska’s waters, each meal reflects the natural abundance of the region.
On land, culinary shore excursions and immersive dining experiences celebrate Alaska’s unique culture and flavors.
Holland America’s land-and-sea Alaska cruisetours combine an iconic Alaska cruise with a multiday land tour. Travel aboard Holland America’s privately owned two-story glass-domed McKinley Explorer® railcars and explore Denali National Park & Preserve on a complimentary guided tour.
Every Alaska cruisetour includes 1–3 nights at Holland America Denali Lodge. This private riverfront wilderness retreat nestled in the foothills of Denali National Park & Preserve serves as your base camp for Denali adventures.
Holland America is also the only cruise line offering overnight stays in Canada’s remote Yukon Territory. In addition to 1- to 3-night stays at Holland America Denali Lodge, every Alaska, Denali & Yukon itinerary is fully escorted by an expert local Tour Director and includes 2–3 nights in Dawson City, where Klondike Gold Rush history seems to come alive along the banks of the mighty Yukon River.
Holland America’s immersive 360° Alaska programming brings the Great Land on board with expert-led presentations, locally inspired cuisine, and thoughtfully curated shore excursions.
From storytelling and cultural insights to wildlife education and regional cuisine, every detail is designed to deepen your connection to Alaska — whether you’re relaxing at sea or exploring ashore.
