Holland America’s relationship with Alaska is long-standing—so long, in fact, that the line was sailing here before Alaska even became a state. With decades of experience under their belt, HAL has an intimate understanding of the region’s wildlife patterns, weather, cruising routes, and port communities.
This history translates into carefully crafted itineraries that maximize time in the most scenic areas, offer longer port days, and prioritize authentic, local experiences. HAL’s deep-rooted presence in Alaska is also reflected in their community engagement efforts. During the 2025 season alone, the cruise line contributed more than $100,000 to Alaskan nonprofits, supporting trail preservation, arts programs, rescue services, and environmental conservation organizations.
For travelers who care about meaningful tourism, HAL’s ethos ensures your visit contributes positively to the communities you explore.
