Holland America Line is celebrating an 80-year legacy of sailing Alaska with over 100 cruises to the region available for booking in the 2027 anniversary season, along with new Cruisetour experiences. 

Holland America Line will be operating six ships in Alaska between April and September 2027, with opportunities to sail round-trip from Seattle or Vancouver or to sail between Vancouver and Whittier, Alaska. Itineraries range from seven to 28 days, including a monthlong "Legendary Alaska Arctic Circle Solstice" journey, which provides an opportunity for travelers to celebrate the longest day of the year in the Arctic. 

The Eurodam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Westerdam and Zaandam will sail the 2027 Alaska anniversary season. 

"As we approach our 80th year exploring the Great Land, we're proud to offer cruises and Cruisetours that deepen our legacy of expertise and enrich every guest's experience," said Dan Rough, vice president of revenue management for Holland America Line. "From tasting locally sourced seafood and engaging with park rangers at Glacier Bay, to watching bears roam under the guidance of wildlife experts — our Alaska cruises and Cruisetours are crafted to be unforgettable."

A new eight-day "Alaska Inside Passage" itinerary is a round-trip Vancouver journey with calls to Glacier Bay, Skagway, Ketchikan and Prince Rupert, along with a late-night departure from Juneau. 

The cruise line promises travelers will be able to see glaciers on every itinerary with its "Glacier Guarantee," with opportunities to view them at Glacier Bay National Park, College Fjord, Dawes Glacier, Hubbard Glacier and the Twin Sawyer Glaciers. 

Holland's Global Fresh Fish Program also ensures guests will enjoy the freshest, locally sourced seafood at sea: the program sources fresh fish caught in less than 48 hours. Holland is the only cruise line that has a triple certification for sustainably sourced, wild-caught, and responsibly farmed seafood.
