7 Night Glacier Discovery Cruise aboard the Holland America Westerdam

Share

Get ready for seven nights of leisurely sailing through the sea when you embark on the Holland America Westerdam from Vancouver to Whittier.

This sailing is special because you will exclusively spend time at less common destinations such as Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan. This route is a rare one for the Westerdam.

This includes all all taxes and fees. No surprises! Offered at less than $140 per day, this is a strong value.
