Holland America Line has been designing industry-leading Alaska cruises and cruisetours since 1947. Our best advice: take the time to think about what you want to experience in Alaska and research the options to match your desires. Whether your schedule and budget is open-ended or finite, whether you are interested in wildlife, glaciers or the gold rush and whether you enjoy shopping, museums and guided tours or dog sledding, glacier hiking and sport fishing we have the perfect Alaska adventure to satisfy every need.

A great Alaska adventure can be had on both our cruise-only itineraries and on our many cruisetour itineraries. Both options offer spectacular views of Alaska: cruise-only itineraries focus on glaciers and frontier ports; cruisetours combine cruising itineraries with days of touring the vast inland wilderness of Alaska and the Yukon. The advantage of choosing a cruisetour is that you get a greater variety of Alaska attractions; a cruisetour is the only way to see Glacier Bay and Denali National Parks, the Yukon and the Arctic. Additionally, most cruisetours include the personal services of a tour director.

If creating a personal connection with nature is important to you, then you would enjoy a "Your Personal Wilderness" cruisetour. These exciting itineraries take you beyond Alaska's well-known attractions and give you extra time to explore exquisite and rarely visited national parks and wilderness areas off the beaten track. Travel with a small group of like-minded explorers and discover your own favorite spot to commune with nature in Kenai Fjords, Kluane, Gates of the Arctic, Tombstone, the Klondike and the Yukon River.

Time and Budget

We believe experiencing Alaska by sea and by land is a traveler's "must do" experience. Our cruisetour itineraries run from 11-day Economy Tours to our 20-day Great Land Grand Tours. If you are on a tight schedule or budget, our Economy CruiseTours were designed to maximize your Alaska cruise with minimal impact to your schedule and budget. With just a few extra days and a few more dollars you can include an exploration of Denali National Park, Anchorage and Fairbanks.
