Holland America Line is set to celebrate 80 years of exploring Alaska with over 100 cruises available for booking in 2027. The cruise line is offering enhanced Cruisetour experiences, combining an Alaska cruise with an inland journey, to provide deeper immersion into the state's wilderness and culture. These experiences are designed to connect guests to the heart of Alaska through land and sea travel.

The enhanced Cruisetours, known as "Ultimate Alaska & Denali," will feature a two-night stay at Holland America Denali Lodge and visits to iconic locations such as Alyeska, Seward, or Homer. Each itinerary will be led by a dedicated Tour Director to provide insights and ensure a seamless journey. Guests will also enjoy a new complimentary visit to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center to meet moose, bison, bears, and more while learning about the care and preservation of these iconic species.

Holland America Line will deploy six ships to Alaska in 2027, offering a range of immersive itineraries that bring travelers up close to glaciers and iconic wildlife. The cruises will sail roundtrip from Seattle, Washington; roundtrip from Vancouver, British Columbia; or between Vancouver and Whittier, Alaska, with voyages ranging from seven to 28 days. The itineraries include a popular month-long "Legendary Alaska Arctic Circle Solstice" and a new eight-day option roundtrip from Vancouver.

The cruise line offers more opportunities for glacier viewing than any other cruise line, with every Alaska cruise including a scenic visit to Alaska's iconic glaciers. Holland America Line is confident that guests will have an unforgettable glacier experience and offers a "Glacier Guarantee" program that pledges glacier viewing on every Alaska cruise and the majority of Cruisetours.

Holland America Line also features more than 175 shore excursions, including a new Reindeer Encounter at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. The cruise line carries a wildlife expert on board to help guests witness the majestic animals found in the region, and a Wildlife Spotting Guide points out the native animals found along the cruise route.

The cruise line continues to build on its groundbreaking Global Fresh Fish Program, bringing locally sourced fresh fish from port to plate in less than 48 hours. Holland America Line is the only cruise line triple-certified for sustainably sourced wild-caught and responsibly farmed seafood.

Holland America Line's "We Love Alaska" program deeply immerses guests in the local culture with authentic onboard programming, cruise activities, and award-winning shore excursions. The exclusive experiences are delivered through experts leading workshops and lectures from those who know Alaska best, Alaska Up Close presentations exploring the stories of real Alaskans, tours highlighting the best of each destination, and fine dining events showcasing the culinary traditions of the region.

For a limited time, when guests book 2027 Alaska cruises with the Have It All premium package, the standard package amenities of shore excursions, specialty dining, a Signature Beverage Package, and Surf Wi-Fi are included, along with free prepaid crew appreciation, free upgrades to the Elite Beverage Package, and Premium Wi-Fi.

Holland America Line's 2027 Alaska cruises and 2026 Cruisetours are open for booking now, offering unforgettable journeys into the Great Land. For those looking to pair their 2027 cruise with an inland exploration, 2027 Cruisetours will be available for booking later this fall.
