With the launch of Holland America’s 2027 programme, you can be part of their long-standing Alaskan legacy. For eight decades, they have crafted journeys that go beyond the expected, connecting you to the heart of the Great Land with unmatched expertise. This is your chance to experience Alaska with the pioneers of the region, on voyages designed to bring you closer to its glaciers, wildlife, and storied past.
Unrivalled expertise in the Great Land
When you travel with Holland America Line, you are benefiting from 80 years of passion and knowledge. They first began sharing the wonders of Alaska in 1947, even before it was a state. This long-standing presence gives them a unique perspective and allows them to offer privileged access to some of the region's most cherished sites. Their deep relationships, such as their partnership with the National Park Service, mean you get more from your visit. This includes unique experiences such as National Park Rangers boarding the ship in Glacier Bay to share their insights and Huna Tlingit guides offering a local perspective on their ancestral homeland.
You have an equally authentic dining experience as Holland America are the first and only cruise line triple certified for serving only 100% fresh, sustainable, and traceable wild Alaskan seafood. Sip on glacial ice cocktails and dine on delicious reindeer sausage and Salmon Bake, you can even reel in your own fresh catch and have it prepared and served to you on the same evening.
A guaranteed glacier encounter
Seeing a glacier is a fundamental part of any Alaskan voyage. Holland America believe this experience is so essential that they offer a Glacier Guarantee™. On every Alaska cruise, they promise you will see a glacier. They offer more glacier viewing opportunities than any other cruise line and their itineraries are carefully planned to include scenic cruising in places like Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve, Hubbard Glacier, and Tracy Arm. You can watch these icy giants from the comfort of the ship's deck or get a different perspective through their varied shore excursions. Choose to paddle a kayak near the ice, take a helicopter for an aerial view, or even dogsled across a glacier's surface.
Discover Denali & Yukon Cruisetours
Combine the best of an Alaska cruise with an unforgettable journey into the heart of Alaska's interior. A highlight of these journeys is the time spent at Denali National Park & Preserve, through a complimentary guided tour with chances to see Alaska's "Big 5" up close with the cruise line that's #1 in Alaska Wildlife & Wilderness Tours. The exclusive Holland America Denali Lodge sits at the gates of the park, providing a comfortable basecamp for exploration. Travel to the lodge is an experience in itself, aboard the glass-domed McKinley Explorer® railcars, offering panoramic views of the passing scenery.
Beyond Denali, they are the only cruise line that takes you into the Yukon Territory. Follow the footsteps of prospectors on the Klondike Gold Rush route, with overnight stays in the historic town of Dawson City. These escorted tours delve into the legends and landmarks that shaped the North. From riding the historic White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad to exploring the frontier spirit of the region, this is an immersive journey into a celebrated chapter of history.
A journey for every explorer in 2027
The 2027 season presents a wide selection of itineraries designed to suit every traveller. Choose from seven-day roundtrip sailings from Seattle or Vancouver, or one-way voyages that let you spend more time in the state. For those seeking a deeper exploration, their 14-day Great Alaska Explorer visits less-common ports, and the 28-day Arctic Circle Solstice cruise is a legendary journey under the midnight sun. New for 2027, they’ve introduced an eight-day roundtrip itinerary from Vancouver and two 18-day Great Bear Rainforest sailings, offering even more ways to experience the coast.
