Sit back and enjoy the majestic scenery while your luxury "hotel-at-sea" takes you from one breathtaking place to another. You may sail roundtrip 7 night cruises from Seattle on the Oosterdam, Amsterdam or Noordam departing Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays. Or choose to sail out of Vancouver (roundtrip) on a 7 night Glacier Bay Inside Passage voyages on the highly rated Zuiderdam and Zaandam. Both ships visit Glacier Bay National Park and the Sawyer Glacier on every itinerary - more scenic cruising then any other roundtrip sailing from Vancouver! Finally, explore the Inside Passage and Gulf of Alaska on the 7 night Glacier Discovery cruises aboard Statendam, Ryndam and Volendam. This elegant trio sails northbound from Vancouver to Seward or southbound from Seward to Vancouver, offering guests a little more of Alaska. Add a land tour package to the Heart of Alaska on the Glacier Discovery cruises to explore Denali National Park, the scenic Kenai Peninsula and historical Fairbanks. So many choices at surprisingly affordable prices!

Holland America's own Grand Alaska Journeys Cruisetours will take you beyond the mere coastline and into the majestic mountain ranges, forests and tundra of this vast state. To help you experience all of Alaska, onboard naturalists are available on every sailing to educate and to identify the vast variety of flora and fauna every step of the way. Also featured will be a Native Artist in Residence on each ship who will demonstrate the traditional art forms of the prevalent Native Indian and Eskimo communities around the state.
