Journeys that combine a Holland America Line cruise with in-depth
overland tours to the Yukon and
Denali National Park.
In Canada and New England,
ms Maasdam and ms Veendam cruise this beautiful
region throughout the summer. Guests can witness the rugged cliffs,
scenic villages and migrating whales of Saguenay Fjord, enjoy
scenic cruising on the St. Lawrence River, and marvel at the wild
beauty of Acadia National Park.
For the fall foliage period, ms Eurodam joins the two ships
sailing between New York and
Quebec on four cruises.
For the summer Europe season,
seven Holland America Line ships sail unique itineraries that visit
northern Europe and the
Mediterranean. Each itinerary is filled with opportunities to
experience some of the most historic and popular sites in the
world. From "The Little Mermaid" in Copenhagen, Denmark, and the grand Hermitage
Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia,
