Holland America announces Alaska schedule
Holland America Line’s Alaska plan calls for seven ships on 134 cruises in 2005.
The year marks the cruise line’s 57th in Alaska, according to Richard D. Meadows, senior vice president, marketing and sales.
“We offer attention to detail in everything from the caliber of our shore excursions to the traditional split pea soup that we serve on deck during our Alaska cruises,” he said.
Starting in May, Glacier Bay Inside Passage cruises will depart on round-trip, 7-day voyages from Vancouver aboard Holland America Line’s twins – the 1,440-passenger ms Zaandam and ms Volendam. Each cruise features a day of cruising Glacier Bay National Park.
Cruise-only fares begin at $799, per person, double occupancy.
The 1,848-passenger ms Oosterdam and the 1,380-passengers ms Amsterdam cruise roundtrip from Seattle on Alaska Voyager Explorer voyages. Port calls include Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan and Victoria.
Cruise-only fares start at $934.
