Holland America Line is offering an unmatched “Alaska: Up Close” experience for its 2025 season, with more Glacier Bay permits, glacier viewing experiences, and opportunities to see Alaska’s wildlife than any other cruise line.

The company is building on the top reasons travelers choose an Alaska cruise by offering nearly 180 shore excursions that take guests on a wildlife and wilderness encounter. Holland America Line has more permits to visit Glacier Bay National Park than any other cruise line, and the ships also visit several others along the journey.

A wildlife expert on board helps guests witness the majestic animals found in Alaska, and the daily program highlights designated times to meet the wildlife expert on deck to go in search of the animals in their natural environment. Holland America Line’s “Alaska Up Close” deeply immerses guests in the local culture with authentic onboard programming, cruise activities, and award-winning shore excursions. The line serves only fresh, certified sustainable, and traceable wild Alaska seafood.

The 2025 cruises are now open for booking, and guests can take advantage of Holland America Line’s Exclusive Mariner Society Early Booking Bonus. For more information about Holland America Line, consult a travel advisor, call 1-877-SAIL HAL (877-724-5425) or visit hollandamerica.com.
