7 Night Alaska Explorer Cruise aboard the Holland America Westerdam

Share

Reserve your cabin on the Holland America Westerdam and prepare for seven nights of relaxing cruising across the sea from Seattle and back!

Stopping in very uncommon ports such as Victoria, BC, Icy Strait Point, and Sitka makes this sailing particularly interesting. This route is a frequent one for the Westerdam.

We include all meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes in this price, so there are no surprises.

Based in Alaska and refurbished only three years ago in 2023, over 1,900 guests can cruise on this highly-rated Vista class vessel.
