More cruises, enhanced cruisetours headline Holland America’s 2027 Alaska Season

As it prepares to celebrate 80 years of exploring Alaska, Holland America Line is unveiling more than 100 cruises that are now available for booking as part of its 2027 anniversary season.

The cruise line also announced newly enhanced Cruisetour experiences, designed to connect guests to the heart of the Great Land in even more meaningful ways by land and sea.

From April through September 2027, Holland America Line will deploy six ships to Alaska, offering a range of immersive itineraries that bring travelers up close to glaciers and iconic wildlife.

Guests can choose to sail roundtrip from Seattle, Washington; roundtrip from Vancouver, British Columbia; or between Vancouver and Whittier, Alaska, with voyages ranging from seven to 28 days — including a popular monthlong “Legendary Alaska Arctic Circle Solstice” and a new eight-day option roundtrip from Vancouver. With more than 175 shore excursions, including a new Reindeer Encounter at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, Holland America Line features more wildlife and wilderness tours than any other cruise line.

Dan Rough, vice president of revenue management for Holland America Line, observed that: “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. 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.”

In the lead-up to the milestone 80th anniversary, Holland America Line will roll out enhanced “Ultimate Alaska & Denali” in 2026.

These Cruisetours offer travelers an expanded way to experience the Great Land by combining multi-day inland adventures — including a two-night stay at Holland America Denali Lodge, and a visit to iconic Alyeska, Seward or Homer — with an unforgettable 7-Day “Glacier Discovery” cruise. Each “Ultimate” Cruisetour itinerary will now feature a dedicated Tour Director to provide insights and ensure a seamless journey. Guests will also enjoy a new complimentary visit to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center to meet moose, bison, bears and more while learning about the care and preservation of these iconic species.

Holland America Line’s 2027 Alaska cruises and 2026 Cruisetours are now open for booking.
