Holland America Line is offering a full season of cruises and Land+Sea Journeys in 2021 that showcase the cruise line’s more-than 70 years of experience, insider knowledge and preferred access.
From April to September, Eurodam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Oosterdam and Volendam, pictured, will provide guests with authentic Alaska experiences.
Itineraries sail roundtrip from Seattle, Washington, and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, or one-way between Whitter (Anchorage), Alaska, and Vancouver.
“We’re seeing strong interest for next summer’s Alaska season as people anticipate being able to get out again, travel and spend time with family and friends,” said Gus Antorcha, Holland America’s president.
“Alaska has a natural beauty and an aura that are unmatched, and it’s right in our backyard. We’re ready to return with plenty of options for everybody from couples to multi-generational families.”
Alaska’s awe-inspiring glaciers and Glacier Bay National Park are best viewed from sea and Holland America offers more itineraries to Glacier Bay National Park than any other cruise line.
Every Alaska cruise includes a visit to one more of Alaska’s iconic glacier destinations: Glacier Bay National Park, Hubbard Glacier and the Twin Sawyer Glaciers of Tracy Arm.

All ships cruising in Alaska feature expanded onboard programming. Guests can engage with an Alaska naturalist, and cruises with Glacier Bay take on a National Park Ranger and Huna native speaker. Special presentations explore distinctly local topics such as Alaska’s bush pilots and the famous Iditarod race.
For explorers who want to travel further into the Great Land, 15 different Land+Sea Journeys combine a three-, four- or seven-day Alaska cruise with an inland exploration to spend more time – up to three nights – at Denali National Park and Preserve, the crown jewel of Alaska’s interior.
Holland America Line is the only cruise line that extends land tour options all the way to Dawson City, the heart of the Klondike Gold Rush, and the unspoiled reaches of the Yukon Territory. Every journey includes a train ride into Alaska’s interior on the line’s glass-domed McKinley Explorer.
