Alaska & Yukon Cruisetours

Holland America Line has been sailing the Great Land longer than Alaska has been a U.S. state. Explore the premier combination of luxury ocean cruising through Glacier Bay National Park and overland Land+Sea adventures aboard custom glass-domed trains into Denali and the Klondike Yukon.

Glacier Bay Dominance & The Glacier Guarantee™

Holland America Line holds more coveted permits to enter Glacier Bay National Park than any other cruise line. While in the bay, National Park Rangers board the ship to narrate glacial geology and lead junior ranger programs, accompanied by indigenous Huna Tlingit cultural interpreters.

Every Alaska cruise is backed by the Alaska Glacier Guarantee™: guests are guaranteed viewing of one or more iconic tidewater glaciers (Glacier Bay, Hubbard Glacier, Twin Sawyer Glaciers, College Fjord) or receive a future cruise credit.

Joe Merendino's Alaska Tip:

"When sailing into Glacier Bay, the ship does a slow 360-degree rotation in front of Margerie Glacier so guests on both port and starboard sides enjoy full unobstructed views without ever leaving their private verandah."
