Alaska & The Yukon

At 365 million acres, Alaska is so large that if you saw 1 million acres per day, it would take you a year to see all of the state. Thirty-nine mountain ranges, 100,000 glaciers, 16 national parks, 17 of the tallest peaks on the continent, and incredible wildlife; now that’s overwhelming! You want to see the best of it all, but there’s so much information.

One of the main reasons why we choose to partner with Holland America Line is that Glacier Bay is an all-day stop on all three of their major cruise itineraries.  While incredible, Hubbard Glacier should not be the only glacier that you see on your cruise to Alaska.  If that's so, you haven't seen glaciers.

Below, check out the reasons why you should make it a priority to have Glacier Bay National Park on your cruise itinerary.

  1. Glacier Bay National Park has four major glaciers.  Hubbard Glacier is only one.
  2. The Glacier Bay National Park experience with Holland America Line is an ALL DAY experience.  The tour of Hubbard Glacier is only three hours.
  3. You will experience more wildlife and whale watching in Glacier Bay National Park.
  4. National Park Service park rangers board to provide a narrative about important aspects of the visit, give a presentation about the park, and answer your questions while at Glacier Bay National Park.
  5. The Fairweather Mountain Range is the backdrop for the glaciers, creating majestic views of snow-wovered mountain peaks.
