OUR SIGNATURE STYLE
welcome to
OUR ALASKA We look forward to welcoming you to the Great Land in 2016 and
sharing an incomparable vacation experience together. We’ve been
showing guests the wonders of Alaska for nearly 70 years . . . longer
than any other company, and even longer than Alaska has been a state.
Our cruises and Land+Sea Journeys have been carefully curated to
reflect that vast experience.
Cruising, of course, is our specialty and our elegant, mid-sized ships —
with their spacious decks and sophisticated ambiance — are made for
viewing Alaska’s pristine fjords, abundant marine habitat and friendly
frontier towns.
Glaciers are the centerpiece of every Alaska cruise, and we’re proud
to present the twin Sawyer Glaciers of Tracy Arm, mammoth Hubbard
Glacier (the largest tidewater glacier in North America) and spectacular
Glacier Bay National Park. All breathtaking.
We are also passionate about overland journeys. Come with us to
discover must-see sights like Denali National Park — the centerpiece
of every Land+Sea Journey — as well as seldom-seen highlights such
as Dawson City in the heart of Klondike Gold Rush Country.
At the McKinley Chalet Resort on the banks of the Nenana River,
we offer a unique base camp near the gates of Denali National Park
from which to experience this magnificent wilderness area. Look for
newly updated accommodations along the river, an amphitheater for
interpretive talks, on-site raft departures, and much more.
Alaska by itself is nature’s miracle. The Holland America Line
difference is the way we showcase it. A Tundra Wilderness Tour in
Denali that takes you deep into the park for the best wildlife viewing.
A paddlewheeler cruise on the Yukon River. Extra-long days in port.
And professional Alaska experts whose knowledge is broad and whose
enthusiasm is infectious.
Are you ready to feel your jaw drop? Join us, the leader in Great Land
travel, and experience the ultimate Alaska vacation.
Sincerely,
Orlando Ashford
President
