Holland America Alaska Cruise & Vancouver Stay

8 nights from £1,799 per person Including Flights

Overview

Cruising with Holland America, you’ll be treated to sensational views of Alaska’s striking scenery, sailing past 1000 miles of epic landscape – glaciated mountains, thunderous waterfalls and pristine forests. You’ll begin your trip with a night in Vancouver before embarking on your cruise through this amazing destination. We can add more nights in Vancouver if you would like, and perhaps a trip over to the charming city of Victoria on Vancouver Island. This holiday includes a short stay in Vancouver but we can tailormake this to include a trip across the Rockies, a visit to Toronto and Niagara Falls or a journey on the iconic Rocky Mountaineer train.

Highlights

  • Sail into Glacier Bay, the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site, where there are more actively calving glaciers than anywhere in the world
  • Visit the unique Klondike Gold Rush town of Skagway
  • Call at Ketchikan in Alaska, a town built out over the water it looks like it's clinging to the striking granite cliffs
  • Cruise the Inside Passage, past dramatic cliffs and spectacular scenery

"Highlights of our cruise to Alaska included whale-watching (with delicious hot chocolate!), walking to the glacier and waterfall at Mendenhall, visiting the Red Onion Saloon in Skagway and browsing the quirky boutiques of Creek Street in Ketchikan. Glacier Bay was also amazing - remember to wrap up warm as you'll want to be on deck all day and it does get chilly!"

Port of Call Juneau, Alaska

Set at the foot of grand mountain peaks on the Gastineau Channel, Juneau has the vast Mendenhall Glacier and Juneau Icefields at its back door. The scenery here is phenomenal – this is the perfect place for outdoor pursuits! Explore the Tongass National Forest, go whale watching, or hike and kayak through the landscape.

The Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park provides restored buildings and boardwalks, inviting you to stroll into the past.

(Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)

Day 6

Glacier Bay

Glacier Bay National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve, acting as the preservation on a unique ecosystem of plants and wildlife. Be sure to remember the camera and listen out for the monumental chunk of ice splitting from a glacier as it falls into the sea, shooting water hundreds of feet into the air. Glacier Bay has more actively calving tidewater glaciers than anywhere else in the world.

(Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)

Day 7

Port of Call Ketchikan, Alaska

Built out over the water and climbing weathered stairways, Ketchikan can be found on the shores of Tongass Narrows. This cheerful town clings to the mountains and has a tranquil vibe. While you’re here, take time to visit Creek Street, the Tongass Historical Museum, Totem Bight State Park and Saxman Village. Striking granite cliffs and deep water fjords overlooking the sea by thousands of feet have been created over the years by retreating glaciers, creating a unique landscape.

"I loved the the shore excursion to Ketchikan - Creek Street is lovely for a stroll and there are great quirky boutiques to browse"
Donna, North America Specialist

(Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)
