Holland America Line is passionate about Alaska’s glaciers and guarantees you’ll see them on your cruise. They’ve been showcasing Alaska’s beauty since 1947 and understand how important seeing glaciers are to their guests. That’s why they offer the  Glacier Guarantee™: if you don’t see a glacier, you’ll get a 15% future cruise credit. Every Alaska cruise includes scenic glacier viewing, and Holland America Line has the most permits to visit Glacier Bay National Park. Park rangers even come onboard to share their knowledge. To further enhance your experience, they’ve introduced “Glacier Day” on 2024 cruises, featuring dedicated glacier sighting times, talks, activities, and delicious food and drinks – all centered around these majestic wonders.

More Opportunities to See Alaska Wildlife Than Any Other Cruise Line 

In addition to glaciers, Holland America Line offers more ways to see the wildlife of Alaska. Holland America Line carries a wildlife expert on board to help guests witness the majestic animals found in Alaska, including whales, eagles, bears, moose, otters, seals, sea lions and more. 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. Between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., wildlife sightings are announced for guest viewing. 

The wildlife experience continues ashore. With nearly180 animal sanctuaries and sightseeing opportunities, Holland America Line is #1 in Alaska wildlife and wilderness tours.
