What's On Board
With over 75 years of operation in Alaska, Holland America Line is the true pioneer of cruising in the region. Enjoy a cruise that is small enough to embrace the little luxuries, while large enough to offer award-winning onboard entertainment and a range of culinary options, developed by a team of world-class chefs. Holland America Line ships are refreshingly uncrowded and perfectly sized to cruise Alaska’s Inside Passage and picturesque Canada and New England.
