What's your pleasure?  Holland America
offers you two wonderful choices
for cruising to Alaska. Both itineraries
include the incomparable Inside Passage, an incredible waterway through some of the world's most spectacular scenery. You
see it all from the vantage point of
your fabulous floating resort. |
| A Classic Cruise Our Glacier Bay Inside Passage Cruise is a favorite of cruise connoisseurs. In seven days, you will sail round-trip from Vancouver, B.C., with a day in Glacier Bay at the midpoint of the voyage. You go ashore and get close to the real Alaska at the ports of Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan, where you may add new dimensions to your holiday with dozens of optional adventures like flightseeing, river rafting, canoeing, fishing and touring to native villages. Everything about the Glacier Bay
Inside Passage Cruise is unforgettable, but nothing will live as long in
your memory as the magical day cruising Glacier Bay National Park. As you
sail even deeper into the fjord, densely forested slopes change to rugged,
rocky crests; this is the newer part of the bay, where nature has not yet
had time to clothe the land exposed by retreating glaciers. Like frozen
rivers, glaciers flow to the bay, where the icebergs they have spawned bob
and float. The National Park Service Rangers who have joined the ship point
out harbor seals sunning on ice floes, mountain goats like balls of fluff
high on the cliff. Maybe you'll see a humpback whale breaching, or a school
of leaping orcas. |
| Discover the Glaciers Choose the Glacier Discovery Cruise between Vancouver, B.C. and Seward/Anchorage if you wish a leisurely seven-day voyage, highlighted by the dazzling glacial giants of Southcentral Alaska. Feast your eyes on the multiple glaciers of remote College Fjord, and the massive icy face of Hubbard Glacier in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. On some cruises you're privileged to visit Valdez with its picturesque backdrop of mountains -- the "Switzerland of Alaska." Some include a day cruising Glacier Bay National Park. Every cruise includes stops at Ketchikan, Juneau and Sitka, where you have ample time for a variety of shore excursions. And every Glacier Discovery Cruise takes you through the enchanting Inside Passage, with maximum opportunity to enjoy the delights of cruising. |
