7 Night Alaska Explorer Cruise aboard the Holland America Westerdam

Share

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

This cruise is particularly interesting because you will exclusively stop at exotic ports such as Victoria, BC, Icy Strait Point, and Sitka. This is a typical route for the Westerdam.

This is the total you pay, no sneaky extra fees.

Based in Alaska and refurbished less than three years ago in 2023, over 1,900 guests can sail comfortably on this top-rated Vista class ship.
