Vancouver is a fascinatingly multifaceted city. Trendy neighborhoods meet historic districts, boutiques and restaurants meet parks and gardens, and the mountains meet the sea. Spend the day exploring the city's many sites before embarking in the evening.

Glaciers carved the Inside Passage more than five million years ago. This full day at sea provides beautiful views of rugged fjords and cliffsides cut by ice.

The route navigates the twists and turns of Tracy Arm till it reaches the rambling Sawyer Glacier. In the afternoon, passengers disembark in Juneau for their first port call of the trip. The city offers a warm Alaskan welcome and ample shore excursions highlighting the area's history and diverse natural surroundings.

Cruise days in Skagway harken back to the town's boom time during the Klondike Gold Rush. There's an energetic buzz as visitors fill the historic streets. While in town, take an excursion into the mountains for a closer look at the area's history. For those seeking a mellower experience, take a ferry to visit the charming nearby city of Haines.

The route returns to the water for a second full day at sea. Throughout the day there is something astounding to see in every direction, from tidewater glaciers, to aqua-blue bay water to 15,000-foot peaks. Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The route returns to shore for one last port call of the trip. Ketchikan is a vibrant little town known for its collection of hand carved totem poles and for its abundant fishing opportunities. Passengers have plenty of time to enjoy both before bidding a fond farewell to Alaska in the evening.

The route heads south through the Canadian Inside Passage for the itinerary's final day at sea.

The cruise returns to Vancouver for a convenient disembarkation in the morning.

Serving Fresh Fish in Alaska Holland America continues to build on its groundbreaking Global Fresh Fish  program, which includes being the only cruise line with Alaska seafood certified sustainable  by the Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) and bringing locally sourced fresh fish from port to plate in less than 48 hours. In addition to the seafood and other local delicacies served on the menus, ships in Alaska will serve three exclusive dishes created by the brand's Fresh Fish Ambassador Chef Morimoto: Fresh Black Cod Yuzu, Morimoto Epice Lobster and Fresh Halibut XO.

A new Alaska Seafood Boil will be offered once per cruise in Lido Market for a surcharge. The foodie feast will serve Ivar's Northwest-Style Clam Chowder, Dungeness Cruise Clusters, Alaska Salmon, Penn Cove Clams, Penn Cove Mussels and a Shrimp Bucket, with Triple Berry Crisp and vanilla ice cream for dessert.

The beer was produced in collaboration with Pike Brewing – Seattle's oldest craft brewery – and features notes of honey, citrus and tropical fruits. The label artwork was created in collaboration with Native Artist Rico Worl , a member of the Tlingit and Athabascan community, who also designed the Native artwork featured on the Alaska menus. The Killer Whale Pale Ale label represents the food chain in the Pacific Northwest, with a seal deftly maneuvering out of the grasp of a killer whale.

More Wildlife Viewing than Any Other Cruise Line Alaska is synonymous with stunning wilderness, and Holland America Line offers more ways to see wildlife  in its natural habitat. Alaska ships carry an expert on board to help guests witness the majestic animals found in the region, and a Wildlife Spotting Guide points out the native animals found along the cruise route and includes a map with the best places to see each species. Ashore, Holland America Line offers nearly 180 shore excursions to see species of all kinds.

On Deck for a Cause Continues to Support Alaska's Parks Holland America Line will continue to donate proceeds from its "On Deck for a Cause" charitable event aboard ships in the region to Alaska Geographic , the nonprofit education partner of Alaska's parks, forests, refuges and conservation lands. Called "On Deck for a Cause: Alaska's Parks," guests on all Alaska cruises will be invited to donate $25 to participate in a noncompetitive 5K fundraising walk aboard every sailing. Funds raised through "On Deck for a Cause: Alaska's Parks" will go to support education, science and research in Alaska's parks. The 2023 Alaska season raised more than $100,000 for Alaska Geographic.

Standby Program Offers Reduced Rates for Seattle and Vancouver Cruises Guests with easy access to Seattle or Vancouver have an opportunity to cruise to Alaska at a reduced rate of $49 per person, per day with Holland America Line's Standby  program. Travelers who sign up for a cruise are alerted between seven and two days before departure if they will be sailing.
