Join fellow community members as we traverse the Pacific coast by land and sea aboard one of Holland America Cruise Lines' lovely ships on a breathtaking journey that takes you from Alaska to Vancouver, British Columbia. This is Alaska as you always imagined.

Glacier Bay, a spectacular national park and preserve that is a treasure trove of tidewater glaciers and scenic coastal islands. Its rich world of marine life and large concentration of tidewater glaciers is Alaska at its best.

Transitioning from land to sea, you’ll savor the views from a luxury domed railcar on your way to Whittier to embark on a 7-night Holland America cruise. From the thundering ice of Hubbard Glacier and the serene beauty of Glacier Bay to the charming frontier ports of Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan, every moment is designed to immerse you in the majestic landscapes and rich culture of the Great Land.
Activity Level 1 - Light & Leisurely
You’re a leisurely traveler. You typically take it easy and discover the energy of a new place by people-watching or soaking in the atmosphere at a local café. You can climb at least one flight of stairs, board a coach, and walk unassisted at a relaxed pace for up to 60 minutes without difficulty. You can easily handle altitudes up to 5,000 feet.
