Alaska and its amazing glaciers, majestic mountains, pristine national parks, and storied frontier history are the cornerstone of our eight distinctive Alaska rail and cruise vacations. Each pair iconic train journeys and spectacular sightseeing with a breathtaking Holland America Alaska cruise to the state’s most popular destinations—as well as some that are off the beaten path—to create what is truly a trip of a lifetime.
Your vacation begins with a rail trip to your port of call on such famed trains as the Empire Builder, Coast Starlight, VIA Rail’s Canadian, and the Rocky Mountaineer—truly an adventure unto itself. Whether it’s the stunning Pacific coastline, the Space Needle, or Glacier National Park in the U.S. or Grouse Mountain, Lake Louise, and the Canadian Rockies in Canada, you will be dazzled by the spectacular sights. But that is only the beginning to your rail and cruise vacation.
Enjoy the luxuries of cruising, including gourmet dining and relaxing spa experiences, coupled with visits to the best “must-see” destinations on your Alaska cruise. Highlights include Alaska’s Inside Passage, the intercoastal waterway with thousands of islands, coves, and bays as well as porpoises and killer whales; Glacier Bay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the most calving tidewater glaciers in the world; the state capital of Juneau and the Juneau Icefields including the Mendenhall Glacier; Creek Street, the Tongass Historical Museum, Totem Bight State Park and Saxman Village, and Misty Fjords National Monument in Ketchikan; St. Michael’s Cathedral and the Sheldon Jackson museum in Sitka; Tracy Arm, the narrow 26-mile long fjord that ends at the twin Sawyer Glaciers; and, Skagway, a town rich in gold rush history.
Alaska rail and cruise vacations range from 10 to 19 days and start at $1,693 per person. Departures are available from May to September 2010.
