Cruise Portion
Vancouver, British Columbia
In Vancouver, you never lose sight of the spectacular mountains or the glimmering sea. It is a prosperous city, with flowers adorning the streets and the lush greenery of Stanley Park, the third-largest urban park in the world, beckoning to travellers and locals alike. Museums offer fine collections of dramatic Northwest Native arts. Vancouver's Chinatown is the second largest in the world. Gastown, the waterfront district, recalls the city's colorful past as a premier port since the days of the Clipper ships.
Come see the natural beauties of Vancouver, which captured the prestigous title of the 2010 Winter Olympics' Host City.
Stretching from the Canadian border in the south, to the start of the Gulf of Alaska in the north, the Inside Passage runs through the area known as Southeast Alaska, just below Glacier Bay National Park. In the spring, the passage is blanketed with wildflowers and the whales are migrating. Come fall, the landscape is ablaze with fall foliage and the bald eagles are gathering. No matter what time of the season you choose to cruise, one can expect to see spectacular scenery, bountiful wildlife, picturesque Native cultures, amazing history and exceptional hospitality.
Accessible only by air or sea, Alaska's capital is surprisingly urban and cultured for such a remote destination. When you arrive by sea, you will be greeted dockside by numerous flags and an abundance of summer flowers. For further insight into the Inuit culture and crafts, visit the museum. Take the short drive to Mendenhall Glacier, the only glacier inside city limits! Take a helicopter ride for an amazing aerial view of Juneau and area, or go fishing for silver salmon. Then, just kick back and relax with a cool one at the famous and colorful Red Dog Saloon.
Skagway was born during the great Klondike gold rush. Those were the days when Skagway had 80 saloons and was known as "the roughest town on earth". The city's rip-roaring past will come alive when you walk down Broadway, a main street so authentic it is part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park!
The capital of Canada's Yukon Territory, Whitehorse is named after the White Horse rapids, which were said to look like the mane of a white horse. At the head of navigation on the Yukon River, the city was an important supply center during the Yukon Gold Rush. More recently, a $45 million multiplex center has been built to host the 2007 Canada Winter Games.
Just 90 miles south of the Arctic Circle, Fairbanks is known as the "golden heart" of Alaska. Founded on the banks of the Chena River in 1901, the town's colorful gold-rush history comes to life in its working gold mines and on the riverboat cruise.
Shopping includes gold nugget jewelry and Native handicrafts from the Interior, such as beaded slippers and gloves, birch-bark baskets and porcupine quill jewelry.
Stunningly beautiful and rich in wildlife, Denali National Park consists of six million acres of coniferous forest and open tundra. Looming high above the valleys is the 20,320 ft. Mount McKinley, commonly known as Denali, meaning literally, "The High One". It is the highest peak in North America. If you are fortunate enough to be there on a clear day, you can expect to see Dall sheep high on the hillsides and grizzlies fishing for salmon in the icy-cold streams of the park.
An Alaska adventure begins in Anchorage. The majestic mountains, glistening glaciers and crystal-clear streams and lakes beckon for exploration. Explore the rich culture of Alaska's first people and feel their pride. Savor the taste of fresh Alaska seafood. Cosmopolitan Anchorage is a city that has its own symphony and ballet, while offering rugged wilderness only minutes away. Art enthusiasts will enjoy the Anchorage Museum of History and Art, as well as many other galleries. Shoppers will discover unique native Alaskan arts and crafts. Anchorage is the place to tap into your sense of adventure!

Holland America Line Cruiseline Review
Sit back and enjoy the majestic scenery while your luxury "hotel-at-sea" takes you from one breathtaking place to another. You may sail roundtrip 7 night cruises from Seattle on the Amsterdam, Oosterdam, Zaandam and Rotterdam. The former two ships, departing on Sundays, will visit Glacier Bay, while the latter two ships, departing on Friday and Saturdays, will visit Hubbard Glacier. Or if you prefer a longer trip, a 14 night Seattle roundtrip cruise is also available on the Amsterdam. You can also choose to sail out of Vancouver (roundtrip) on a 7 night Glacier Bay Inside Passage voyages on the highly rated Zuiderdam and Volendam. Both ships visit Glacier Bay National Park and the Sawyer Glacier on every itinerary - more scenic cruising then any other roundtrip sailing from Vancouver! Finally, explore the Inside Passage and Gulf of Alaska on the 7 night Glacier Discovery cruises aboard Statendam, Ryndam and Veendam. This elegant trio sails northbound from Vancouver to Seward or southbound from Seward to Vancouver, offering guests a little more of Alaska. Add a land tour package to the Heart of Alaska on the Glacier Discovery cruises to explore Denali National Park, the scenic Kenai Peninsula and historical Fairbanks. So many choices at surprisingly affordable prices!
