Tour Highlights

These exclusive or unique events are designed to deepen your experience, taking you on an inspiring journey beneath the surface of local history, culture and traditions. What's more, these once-in-a-lifetime moments are often not available to a regular traveller. The following experiences are just a taste of what we have prepared especially for you.

Visit a Sugar Shack

Visit a local sugar shack, where you’ll learn how maple syrup is made and feast on traditional Québécois fare for lunch. These small wooden houses are built in maple forests, where sap is collected and boiled down to produce the sweet syrup that we all know and love.

Cruise aboard the Holland America Line

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.
