Holland America Line is headed to the ‘Last Frontier’ in a big way for 2024. The cruise line has announced its Alaska itinerary plans for the upcoming season, which will include 117 weeklong journeys, longer 14-day voyages, as well as the debut of a 28-day Arctic Circle itinerary that includes 12 Alaska ports. 

From April through September 2024, guests can embark on Holland America Line's cruises to Alaska aboard the Eurodam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Westerdam, and Zaandam. Holland America offers more sailings to Glacier Bay National Park than any other cruise brand, and is the only line to include the Yukon region on its itineraries, and offer tours in the Denali via its overland Cruisetours. 

"Holland America Line is proud of our rich history of bringing the best service at sea to Alaska, and we're excited to reveal details of our 2024 season including a new monthlong Arctic Circle itinerary that is the most immersive we've ever offered in this region," said Beth Bodensteiner, chief commercial officer of Holland America Line. "With six ships serving Alaska and the only cruise line with owned land operations in Denali and the Yukon, no one does Alaska better than Holland America Line."
