Arguably most exciting is that Holland America Line is including Alaska cruises and Alaska Cruisetours in the sale – and the Carnival-owned cruise line is gearing up for a big Alaska season.
For over 75 years, Holland America has been carrying travelers to Alaska, usually sailing from Vancouver and Seattle. In addition to traditional cruises, the cruise line also offers popular land and sea combinations in Denali and Yukon that vary in length from nine to 18 days.
The cruise line, which operates medium and large-sized ships, is expecting 2024 to be one of its busiest Alaska seasons yet – and will be sending six of its 11 vessels to Alaska to prepare for the season, starting with Koningsdam on April 27, 2024.
Holland America has also upgraded the land portion of its Alaska Cruisetours with upgraded accommodations at the McKinley Chalet Resort, which is located within the Denali National Park, and a new Gold Rush-themed experience in Dawson City, Yukon.
