7 Night Alaska Explorer Cruise aboard the Holland America Westerdam

Share

Embark on the Holland America Westerdam and prepare for seven nights of refreshing sailing across the sea from Seattle and back!

Touring through once-in-a-lifetime ports such as Victoria, BC, Icy Strait Point, and Sitka makes this trip notable. This route is a common one for the Westerdam.

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