Have it All Early Booking Bonus for Alaska
Cruisetours offers crew appreciation and upgraded beverage package
and Wi-Fi
SEATTLE, Feb. 8, 2023
/CNW/ -- Holland America Line's 2024
Alaska Cruisetours are open for booking, and travelers who want to
head to Denali and the Yukon can
start planning their vacation with the leader in Alaska exploration. Leveraging more than 75
years of experience in the Great Land and a network of its own
hotels, railcars and motorcoaches, Holland America Line is the only
cruise line that extends the land tour to the heart of the Klondike
Gold Rush and the unspoiled reaches of the Yukon Territory.
"Holland America Line has dedicated decades
to perfecting Alaska travel for
our guests..."
With 16 different Cruisetours in 2024, guests can choose whether
to cruise to Alaska or go overland
first, and then decide to include one, two or three nights at
Denali National Park. Those who
want to explore farther into Canada can add a trip to the remote landscapes
of the Yukon with stops in
Dawson City and Whitehorse.
"Holland America Line has dedicated decades to perfecting
Alaska travel for our guests and
the result is an Alaska cruise and
overland experience that is unmatched in the industry," said
Beth Bodensteiner, chief commercial
officer, Holland America Line. "For travelers who are looking to
explore somewhere new or our guests who have already done an
Alaska cruise but want to see more
of this region, a Holland America Line Cruisetour makes it easy and
enriching. And with our Early Booking Bonus, now is the time to
plan ahead and lock in that space for a trip of a lifetime."
