Tuesday, 29 June 20043 min read

If your clients want a shorter Alaska cruise, Holland America has added a five-day offering that starts 24 September from Vancouver, British Columbia.

“This shorter Alaska cruise is ideal for people who want a relaxing, long-weekend, or for first-timers wanting to try a premium cruise experience, said David A. Giersdorf, executive vp, marketing and sales.

The 1,259-passenger Ryndam has an itinerary that includes scenic cruising along the Inside Passage, which offers a panorama of cascading waterfalls, virgin forests and glacier-carved fjords.

The cruise also visits Sitka, which showcases Tlingit Native American and Russian czarist-era culture in a rain-forest setting.

Outside staterooms for the cruise start at $589 per person.
