| Many Cruise Options… |
-
The classic Alaska cruise: threading through the Inside Passage where fir forests slip by seemingly close enough
to touch; exploring rustic frontier towns like Skagway and Ketchikan; marvelling at the shimmering centrepiece of
each itinerary…Glacier Bay.
- Head northbound or south on one-way cruises that explore the spectacular sights of the Inside Passage, as well
as the glacier-clad shores of southcentral Alaska. Highlights: a day amidst the silence and beauty of Glacier Bay,
or cruising past the colossal face of Hubbard Glacier - six miles wide and 300 feet high; exploring charming Juneau,
Sitka, Skagway and Ketchikan; glacier watching in College Fjord.
- Inland, beyond the reach of our ships, lie North America's tallest mountains, vast tracts of pristine wilderness
and legendary national parks. For 2005 Holland America offers three types of cruisetours designed to best showcase
these sights. From the wonders of Denali and Kluane National Parks to "caribou country" in the Far North by Prudhoe
Bay or Tombstone Territorial Park, extend your vacation a few days and come with us for an unforgettable adventure.
