SEATTLE — Bookings have opened for Holland America Line’s 2024 Alaska Cruisetours.

With 16 different Cruisetours on offer next year, guests can choose whether to cruise to Alaska or go overland first, and then decide to include one, two or three nights at Denali National Park. Those who want to explore farther into Canada can add a trip to the Yukon with stops in Dawson City and Whitehorse.

Holland America Line is the only cruise line that extends the land tour to the heart of the Klondike Gold Rush and the remote landscapes of the Yukon Territory.

“Holland America Line has dedicated decades to perfecting Alaska travel for our guests and the result is an Alaska cruise and overland experience that is unmatched in the industry,” said Beth Bodensteiner, chief commercial officer, Holland America Line. “For travellers who are looking to explore somewhere new or our guests who have already done an Alaska cruise but want to see more of this region, a Holland America Line Cruisetour makes it easy and enriching.”
