Sail roundtrip from Vancouver aboard Holland America Line’s elegant Koningsdam and experience the very best of Alaska’s Inside Passage. This 7‑day journey blends breathtaking scenery, rich Indigenous culture, wildlife encounters, and charming coastal towns — all from the comfort of a premium, mid‑sized ship designed for immersive exploration.

Your voyage includes a full day of scenic cruising through the Inside Passage, where calm waters and dramatic fjords set the stage for spotting whales, eagles, and glacier‑carved landscapes. Explore the vibrant ports of Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan, each offering unforgettable excursions such as glacier helicopter tours, historic rail journeys, wildlife viewing, and authentic cultural experiences.

A highlight of the itinerary is the spectacular day of cruising in Glacier Bay National Park, accompanied by onboard park rangers who share insights into its towering glaciers, icy blue waters, and abundant marine life.

Onboard Koningsdam, guests enjoy world‑class dining, live music venues, spacious decks for scenic viewing, and Holland America’s signature service. This itinerary is ideal for travellers seeking a classic Alaska experience with comfort, culture, and adventure woven into every day.
