Welcome to Holland America Line’s Alaska! We look forward to seeing
you in 2017 as we celebrate 70 years of showing guests the marvels
of the Great Land. That’s longer than any other company, even longer
than Alaska has been a state! You’ll see those years of experience
reflected in our Alaska cruises and Land+Sea Journeys, all carefully
curated to ensure that you enjoy the very best of Alaska — from
magnificent Glacier Bay to the untamed beauty of Denali National Park.
Whether you choose an Alaska cruise or a Land+Sea Journey in Alaska
and the Yukon, you’ll enjoy all the hallmarks of a Holland America Line
cruise: elegant mid-sized ships, impeccable service and classic style.
We’re particularly excited about recent enhancements and exclusive
partnerships, including BBC Earth Experiences and Destination
Guides in partnership with AFAR. We’ve been rolling out extensive
updates to our already luxurious suites. And, on select ships, guests
can now enjoy Lincoln Center Stage, with nightly chamber music;
B.B. King’s Blues Club, the best of Memphis music at sea; and Billboard
Onboard, featuring 50 years of chart-topping hits.
Holland America Line’s engaging experiences and gracious amenities
extend to our overland journeys as well. So even at the gateway
to Denali National Park, you’ll relax in the comfort of our private
60-acre McKinley Chalet Resort and enjoy fine dining, shopping and
entertainment in Denali Square™, a Holland America Line exclusive.
Let us show you the Alaska we have known and cherished for seven
amazing decades. We promise you’ll love it as much as we do.
Sincerely,
Orlando Ashford
