Cruise Alaska Your Way with Holland America Line

At New Horizons Travel, we know that Holland America Line is an ideal choice for discovering Alaska’s breathtaking beauty.

For the Adventure-Seeking Family

An Alaskan family vacation creates memories that last a lifetime, and a Holland America cruise makes it easy for every family member to join the adventure.

• What to do: Watch glaciers calve from the ship’s deck and embark on family-friendly shore excursions like dog sledding or gold panning. You can also spot eagles, whales, or bears from the comfort of the ship or on guided tours. Onboard, kids can take part in engaging programs while parents relax or join in on the fun.
• Travel tip: Book early to take advantage of amenities designed just for families. Holland America’s casual dining, swimming pools, and youth activities help everyone feel right at home.

For the Couple Seeking a Romantic Escape

Imagine cozying up by a fireplace with mountain views, or watching the Northern Lights sparkle above the sea. An Alaskan cruise has romance woven into every moment.

• What to do: Share quiet morning coffees on your private balcony as the ship glides past mountains and glaciers. Indulge in specialty dining, or enjoy a glass of wine while listening to live music in elegant venues. Choose shore excursions like kayaking or cultural tours for memorable days together.
• Travel tip: Visit during May or September for fewer crowds and a more intimate atmosphere. Upgraded suites and the line’s well-appointed amenities add a special touch to any couple’s getaway.

For the Solo Adventurer

Alaska is a place of introspection and grand adventure, an open invitation to explore at your own pace. Holland America welcomes solo travelers with thoughtfully curated experiences and a welcoming onboard community.
