Holland America Line is kicking off its 2025 Alaska cruising season on Saturday, April 26.

Six Holland America ships will sail round-trip from Seattle, Washington; Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and between Vancouver and Whittier (Anchorage), Alaska.

"Alaska offers many memorable experiences, from getting close to glaciers and seeing animals in the wild to learning about the unique culture," said Robert Morgenstern, senior vice president, Alaska Operations.

He added, "We are ready to explore this majestic region, and Alaska is ready for us. We've received a lot of questions about staffing in the parks, but we can confirm that from Glacier Bay to Mendenhall Glacier to Denali National Park and Preserve, our guests can expect to fully experience the wonders of Alaska."
