Holland America Cruise Tour, Holland America Alaska Cruise Tour

Take your time ... and see it all. Holland America Line's expertly-guided Alaskan and European cruisetours – well-paced, well-planned, and designed to maximize your appreciation of both regions – extend your experience by adding a land component (available either pre- or post-cruise) to virtually any Alaska or Europe voyage. And these extra days deliver lots of additional value for little expense, whether your journey unfolds amid the Great Land's Gold Rush towns and national parks or the Old World's monuments and masterworks.

An enormous land of stunning natural beauty, Alaska offers travelers an opportunity to answer the call of the wild in an array of settings located just off the beaten path. Holland America's Alaskan cruisetours provide passengers access to many of these hidden destinations, blending intimate experiences ashore with visits to all of the region's major attractions via premium Alaska cruise itineraries voted the industry's best by the readers of Porthole Cruise Magazine.

Holland's Alaska cruisetours fall into one of three major categories (or "collections") and range anywhere in length from 10 to 20 nights. Great Land Klondike and Great Land Wilderness Cruisetours combine 3-night or 4-night Inside Passage sailings with comprehensive explorations of Alaska’s/Canada's premier national parks and the rugged Yukon Territory. Glacier Discovery Cruisetours pair 7-night voyages (highlighted by scenic cruising via either Glacier Bay and College Fjord or Hubbard Glacier) with extended land stays featuring visits to Denali, Fairbanks, and the Arctic Circle. Holland guests traverse the countryside in style courtesy of domed McKinley Explorer® railcars or in the comfort of exclusive Explorer Coaches™.

DENALI
Denali's National Park, home to Mt. McKinley and Alaska's legendary "Big Five" (caribou, grizzly bear, moose, Dall sheep, and wolf), consistently ranks as the region's most popular tourist destination.

FAIRBANKS
Dubbed "Alaska's Golden Heart", Fairbanks is located just 200 miles south of the Artic Circle. Highlights include a visit to the city's hottest and coolest destination – a museum created from over 1,000 tons of ice.

ANCHORAGE / SEWARD
Alaska's largest city, Anchorage offers something for everyone – from fine restaurants and frontier saloons to museums and mountains made for hiking. Seward serves as the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park.

For many, a cruisetour is the vacation of a lifetime. And the vacation of a lifetime requires special planning. Cruisetours are also an incredible value, particularly when you consider the time and expense involved in arranging all of the elements separately.

Our experts are here to help you design a cruisetour that includes everything you'll want to see both ashore and at sea. A land component can be added to virtually any 7-night Holland America Alaska sailing we sell, but cruisetours may only be booked by phone.
