Holland America Line is guaranteeing that guests will see one or more glaciers on their cruise to Alaska, ensuring that all guests will be able to enjoy viewing the majestic natural wonders.
Called the Glacier Guarantee, the promise is going on now through September 2025. If guests aren’t able to view at least one glacier during a Holland America Line cruise to Alaska, they’re eligible to receive a Future Cruise Credit equal to 15 percent of their original cruise fare.
Holland America Line has more permits to visit Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve than any other cruise line, and also offers opportunities to visit College Fjord, Dawes Glacier, Hubbard Glacier and the Tracy Arm Fjord’s Twin Sawyer Glaciers.
Also new for its 2024 Alaska season, Holland is debuting “Glacier Day” on Alaska cruises as part of its “We Love Alaska” onboard experience. Glacier Day includes sighting times, scenic commentary, presentations, viewing stations, photo opportunities, talks by Glacier Bay National Park Service Rangers and more.
"Our guests, and especially first-time guests, are understandably as obsessed with Alaska's glaciers as we are, and our new Glacier Guarantee underlines our confidence in providing unforgettable glacier sightings on our Alaska cruises and Cruisetours," said Kacy Cole, chief marketing officer, Holland America Line. "We know our guests are going to return home from their cruise with special memories of these icy wonders. In fact, we guarantee it."
In 2024 and 2025, the line will offer six ships sailing along the scenic Alaskan coastline: the Eurodam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Westerdam and Zaandam.
