Why Holland America Line loves Alaska
After taking travellers to Alaska for 75 years, we’ve come to know this land intimately. It’s spectacular scenery, wildlife and native cultures. We want travel partners (and their clients) to discover the best ways to get to know and love it as we do.
Nothing tops a HAL cruise for the best introduction to Alaska’s ice-age glaciers, Inside Passage ports and marine life, our perfectly-sized ships taking guests closer to every calving glacier, every whale splash, every tranquil inlet.
Travellers can combine their cruise with a stay at our McKinley Chalet Resort in Denali National Park and hike through taiga forests, spot caribou and grizzlies on an included Tundra Wilderness Tour.
