11 day Alaska Land/Sea Tour-Denali National Park
My significant other wanted to see Glacier Bay and this was the main reason we took this cruise along with seeing Denali. It was an omen-we got to OAK 2 1/2 hrs early. Gate change and we missed our flight. Someone was trying to tell us something! Unfortunately, we got booked on a later flight. Saw Denali....
Fast forward to the cruise-upon ...

This was our 10th cruise, first on HAL and first to Alaska. We are active 60+ "young adults". We traveled with my brother and his wife. Their first time on HAL and in Alaska. Trip started at Anchorage airport with bus to Westmark Hotel for a night. Would not stay there again. Think Motel 6. HAL should be ashamed to put customers up there. Next day took a bus to McKinley Resort Chalet at Denali. ...

My wife and I had scheduled a New Zealand cruise twice but the covid hoax messed it over two years in a row. As a result, we returned to Alaska for the third time.
It was actually preceeded by a fantastic Tripple Denali land tour.
The entire experience was great. Uniglobe Ohio Valley Travel put together the perfect vacation package.
If you can, do the glacier helicopter landing. Being on ...

Picked up the 18 day Land and Sea Tour a few months ago. Great deal! We accepted a partially obstructed ocean view room. Just wanted to share what that means on deck 4. Overall we thought the experience was great. The land tour was wonderful. Just an FYI, the Holland Landmark Hotel is really showing it’s age It was clean but it is dated.
The ride from Denali and from Anchorage were the best. ...

My husband and I had cruised Alaska in 2019. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to go again, but to do a land/sea tour. Holland American seem to have the best reputation for this. The land tour was great. But Holland America should be ashamed to put their guest in one of their motels, The Westmart in Anchorage that they use for their one night stay was dirty. The hotel was in need of updating ...

We chose Holland America because of their long experience in Alaska and were not disappointed. The scenery was as spectacular as we had hoped for and the ship docked in the most favourable berths at the three ports. The cruise director was both efficient and knowledgeable. The wildlife expert, Kurt, was highly approachable and available outside on the expansive open stern deck 9 whenever there ...

We chose the Southbound Glacier Discovery cruise on the Noordam because we wanted to see as much as possible of the great Alaskan coastline in a 7-day period. This included both Hubbard Glacier and Glacier Bay National Park.
If you are doing this cruise, I would venture to say that arriving at least one day early is almost essential for most people in the lower 48. Connections are not great if ...

So Alaska was beautiful. It was amazing. Our original trip was supposed to happen in June of 2022. Our family members had just gotten off of the same cruise on the same ship. They had a great time. Days before our trip was supposed to happen, we received an email that the entire trip (land and sea) was cancelled due to crew shortages. We were a little confused since our family members had just ...

To be fair the Holland America Alaskan Cruise trip was very nice. However, the process and the people you had to deal with to start the cruise were prohibitively painful.. First of all we understand that Holland America is short staffed and their people are under trained. However, almost no one has authority or the desire to help others or to do the right thing.
There is an old adage that I ...
