SEATTLE — Next year marks 75 years of Alaska exploration for Holland America Line – the most of any cruise line – and bookings are already open for both cruises and Land+Sea Journeys.
From April through October 2022, Holland America will sale to Alaska aboard the Eurodam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Oosterdam and Zuiderdam.
For those who wish to travel even further, there’ll be 16 different Land+Sea Journeys that combine a three-, four- or seven-day Alaska cruise with an inland exploration of Denali National Park. Holland America is the only cruise line that extends land tour options up to Canada’s Yukon Territory.
Plus, for a limited time, guests who book 2022 Alaska cruises and Land+Sea Journeys by Feb. 28, 2021 can receive up to $2,300 in amenities, including a free Signature Beverage Package, pre-paid gratuities, free Signature Package and 50% reduced deposits, plus free Wi-Fi for suites. Alaska cruise pricing starts at $899 per person, double occupancy, for a seven-day sailing (taxes, fees and port expenses are additional).
“It’s incredible to think that Holland America Line has been taking guests to Alaska longer than it’s been a state, and because 2022 is our 75th year we want to allow plenty of time for guests to plan ahead,” said Gus Antorcha, Holland America Line’s president. “Alaska is a destination where if you’ve never been, it’s on your bucket list and if you have been ,you’re eager to go back.”
