Seward Holland America Line Oosterdam Cruise Reviews

After my 3 day land tour and torture of the 10 hour bus ride from Denali I was looking forward to just relaxing on the ship. I was not disappointed. The cruise was everything I wished for - relaxing, good food and plenty of things to hold my interest. We landed in Anchorage and spent an extra day before heading to Denali. Stayed at the Hilton which was very nice. The train to Denali was ...

We began our cruise tour in Fairbanks. I must say that the land and sea portion were done very well by Holland.

We had good service and good food if you eat in their places that are available. Loved the Riverboat tour and lunch tour ...

Let me say that the land tour was outstanding although the Westmark Hotel in Anchorage was far below average compared to the hotels in Fairbanks, Denali, and Alyeska. The day long trip on The Mt. McKinley ...

Let me preface this with the admission that I know this review is long but I prefer to think of it as comprehensive! About us: My husband and I are in our 60’s and this was my fourth Alaskan cruise (his third) but our first land journey. We are self-employed and were a little hesitant to be away from the office for so long but it all worked out well. Because we need to stay in touch while ...
