Witness each extraordinary moment from the expansive deck of your Holland America Line ship. Glacier Bay National Park. There are more active tidewater glaciers in this UNESCO World Heritage Site than anywhere else on Earth. And we offer greater access and more visits to it than any other cruise line. Learn more about the park, its glaciers and its history on board from a National Park Service ranger and a Huna Totem member. Hubbard Glacier. Select itineraries give you a once-in-a-lifetime view of this towering glacier, which is nearly six miles wide, 76 miles long, 30 stories tall and advancing. Sawyer Glaciers. Wind through primeval nature as you cruise up narrow, jade-colored Tracy Arm Fjord and get so close to the twin glaciers here you can feel the cool air coming off them.

Step back in time in this frontier town, the jumping-off point for prospectors bound for the Yukon gold fields.
MORE OF ALASKA Get the inside story from people who have a history here. Thanks to many years of working in this area, we've developed a keen insight on the Alaska you most want to see. Our carefully selected cruise itineraries reflect that with more choices for seeing G lacier Bay, Ketchikan, Sitka and Seward than any other cruise line. We offer calls to lesser-known ports, too, such as Homer and Kodiak, for a complete and authentic view of Alaska.
WELCOME TO A MOUNTAIN OF ADVENTURE Hang on tight as you shoot through Coffee Grinder and Royal Flush, riding the Nenana River's white water aboard an expertly guided 18-foot raft. Climb high above the clouds in a twin-engine Piper Navajo in search of a close-up view of Denali's 20,310-foot summit. Aspiring photographers can learn about optimal exposure and selective focus from a pro who will take you into the wild to snap the perfect shot. Every two- and three night stay includes a Tundra Wilderness Tour: an eight-hour guided journey deep into Denali, where you may spot grizzlies, caribou and other wildlife. Rediscover the romance of travel by train as you journey to the park on our own glass-domed McKinley Explorer railcars where you can admire the panoramic view up top or step down below to breathe the fresh alpine air on an open deck. Only Holland America Line stays this long and goes this far into the park, with Triple Denali Land+Sea Journeys that give you the time to take it all in. And every Denali trip includes a different sort of adventure: a relaxing 7-day Glacier Discovery cruise, where you'll be treated to the wonders of Alaska best enjoyed by sea. Spend more time in the park. Design your perfect Denali adventure. Begin and end your days in rustic comfort. If you've been dreaming of the perfect Alaska adventure, don't miss the number-one reason why visitors are drawn to the Great Land: Denali. Our Denali Land+Sea Journeys offer the most authentic and immersive way to combine the ultimate Alaska cruise experience with the wonders of Denali National Park.
MORE TIME TO EXPLORE With our Double and Triple Denali Land+Sea Journeys, you'll have more time to enjoy all that Denali has to offer. Choose from itineraries ranging from 9 to 14 days, beginning or ending with the pleasures of seven days at sea. Discover the difference an extra day or two will make in your enjoyment of the park more time for river rafting, zip lining or flightseeing the mountain.
WILD FOR DENALI Even by Great Land standards, Denali is impressive. Equally impressive are the wildlife that call it home. On the Tundra Wilderness Tour, you'll venture deep into the park, watching for grizzlies lumbering across the tundra. Also keep an eye peeled for moose, caribou or Dall sheep grazing in the high reaches. And, weather permitting, the Great One will appear in all its glory. No wonder Denali is on everyone's Alaska must-see list.
YOUR DENALI HOME BASE Set in a premier location on the banks of the Nenana River just outside Denali National Park is our own McKinley Chalet Resort. Timbered beams, native stone and soaring open spaces bring the feel of the outdoors inside. One of the many appealing room styles available are the new Junior Suites, complete with your own private balcony. And, at the heart of our resort is Denali Square™. Here you can compare the day's wildlife sightings over a locally brewed beer at Karstens Public House. Enjoy an open-air concert in the amphitheater. Shop for locally made keepsakes, then gather with friends around the fire pit and thank your lucky stars for this time, this place.

Nowhere on earth is as diverse as The Last Frontier as seen in the summertime. Oh, and do not forget to pack your sun block.
