Join us on a spectacular 7-night to Alaska . . . round-trip from Seattle aboard Holland America Line’s flagship, Amsterdam . . . watch in wonder as whales, puffins and Glacier Bay National Park’s active tidewater glaciers come into view.

Widely acclaimed as Alaska’s premier glacier-view experience, Holland America shows you Glacier Bay National Park, a World Heritage Site, like no one else. With U.S. park rangers on board to narrate and provide reference materials, your ship becomes your floating Visitor Center. Huna Totem interpreters add insight culled from centuries of tribal lore. And naturalists help you spot eagles, seal pups and the occasional whale.

Each time a glacier calves is like the first—the sound thunders; the impact shoots water hundreds of feet into the air. Hold your breath as you catch the moment with your camera. Then wait for it all to happen again. Glacier Bay National Park boasts more actively calving tidewater glaciers than any place else in the world!

Enjoy $25 per person stateroom credit and other onboard amenities!

Holland America Line

Holland America Line has a grand tradition of more than 130 years of ocean travel. Today it continues to uphold the high standards of quality established at the beginning, offering guests classic elegance, gracious and unobtrusive service, a vast and satisfying array of itineraries, award-winning enrichment programs and activities, and sophisticated five-star dining on some of the most special and graceful ships afloat.

Because Holland America ships carry fewer passengers for their size than many other ships in their class, guests experience relaxed, refined surroundings with an extra measure of personal space. With wrap-around promenade teak deck and classic deck chairs, Holland America ships offer passengers the luxury of time alone on deck, a quiet drink in any one of the many lounges on board, and a sense of un-crowded comfort throughout the ship.

·          Oversized staterooms, especially the spacious ocean-view and verandah cabins and luxurious suites, allow guests more comfort when enjoying the privacy of their cabins.

·          Service is personal; Holland America’s staff will provide a white-gloved escort to each stateroom, frequently address you by name, and make it a point to remember your preferences. By the end of your cruise, you’ll feel like family!

·          Holland America has been the leader in Alaska cruising for over 57 years, setting the industry standard with the most visits to Glacier Bay National Park and onboard naturalists.

ms Amsterdam

Built at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, Italy, the flagship ms Amsterdam sets the standard for Holland America’s fleet of five-star cruise ships. As the third ship bearing the name of the Dutch capital in the line's more than 130-year history, the ms Amsterdam blends the very latest in shipbuilding technology with the artistry, personalized touches, and superior service that has made Holland America Line one of the highest-rated cruise lines in the world. Traveling aboard her is world-class cruising at its finest.

At the heart of the ms Amsterdam is the Planeto Astrolabium, a specially commissioned signature sculpture suspended and soaring in a three-story atrium. The stunning Astrolabe tracks constellations, the planets, world time and ship time. Dutch heritage and tradition aboard the ms Amsterdam is clearly displayed in original Art Deco pieces that once graced the Nieuw Amsterdam of 1938. For a contemporary touch, works of the noted maritime artist Stephen Card adorn public spaces. With the capacity to carry 1,380 guests, the ms Amsterdam features 172 staterooms with verandahs. The ms Amsterdam completed all Signature of Excellence enhancements to her public rooms and staterooms in 2005.

Alaska

With 18-20 daylight hours each day in July, there will be a lot to see during your Alaska cruise vacation!

Juneau, Alaska—Located at the foot of grand mountain peaks on the Gastineau Channel, the town of Juneau has the massive Mendenhall Glacier and the immense Juneau Icefields at its back door. Juneau is the place to let your imagination run wild. Explore the lush Tongass National Forest. Visit the rustic shops in town. Or get out and kayak, dogsled, raft, hike, whale watch, flightsee or fish. There’s no end to the adventure because of the long daylight hours. Climb aboard the Mt. Roberts Tramway for a great spot to hike and shoot a souvenir photo.

Glacier Bay Scenic Cruising—As Biosphere Reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Glacier Bay National Park; protects a unique ecosystem of plants and animals living in concert with an ever-changing glacial landscape. How does it feel when a monumental chunk of ice splits off a glacier and crashes into the sea? The sound is like thunder. The impact shoots water hundreds of feet into the air. You hold your breath as you catch the moment on film. Then you wait for it all to happen again. And it does. Glacier Bay has more actively calving tidewater glaciers than anyplace else in the world.

Sitka, Alaska—The onion domes of St. Michael’s Cathedral are your first clue that Sitka was once a Russian settlement – the colonial headquarters of Count Baranof, no less. Discover the echoes of its heyday at a performance by the New Archangel Dancers. Be greeted by Tlingit native people, then stand on the spot where the United States took possession of Alaska in 1867 for $7.2 million, less than two cents per acre. The dramatic setting in the shadow of Mt. Edgecumbe is one of the lovliest in the Great Land. Take a stroll through old growth forest in Sitka National Historical Park, shop the downtown district, and poke around the Sheldon Jackson Museum for a close-up look at some of the city's most prized arts, crafts and Russian relics.

Ketchikan, Alaska—Built out over the water and climbing weathered stairways, Ketchikan clings to the shores of Tongass Narrows and drapes the mountains with a cheerful air. Besides the main attractions - Creek Street, the Tongass Historical Museum, Totem Bight State Park and Saxman Village, try a flightseeing trip to breathtaking Misty Fjords National Monument--a transformational adventure not to be missed. These deep water fjords left by retreating glaciers left granite cliffs towering thousands of feet above the sea and countless waterfalls cascading into placid waters. The souvenir photos you'll take from the pontoons of the plane are worth the trip alone.

Victoria, British Columbia—A touch of England awaits: afternoon tea, double-decker buses, the famed Butchart Gardens – a brilliant tapestry of color spread across 50 blooming acres.
