Holland America Line
This tour is conducted at a medium-fast pace. Some long travel days may be required to complete this itinerary and you will typically spend two nights at each destination, with some one night stays required. This trip includes a mix of sightseeing and free time to explore at your own pace. You will be required to move about unassisted, including getting on and off vehicles, walking up and down stairs and some activities will be conducted on uneven or steep terrain. You will be required to handle your own luggage.
A portion of this tour runs as a group tour where you will be escorted by an expert tour leader. Another portion is self-guided, whether conducted by rail, cruise or land, and you will travel between destinations on your own, with free time to explore at your own pace.
With more than 70 years of operation in Alaska, Holland America Line are the true pioneers of cruising in the region. Small enough to embrace those little luxuries, but large enough to house a wide range of culinary options developed by a team of world-class chefs and exclusive award-winning onboard entertainment, Holland America Line ships are refreshingly uncrowded and perfectly sized sized to cruise Alaska’s Inside Passage and picturesque Canada New England.
