7 Night Alaska Inside Passage Cruise aboard the Holland America Zaandam

Share

Prepare for seven nights of leisurely cruising across the sea when you set sail with the Holland America Zaandam from Vancouver and back again.

Touring through less common stops such as Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan makes this sailing particularly interesting. This route is a typical one for the Zaandam.

We include all meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes in this, so that you can compare trips easily. At less than $155 per day, this represents a strong value.

Over 1,400 guests can comfortably sail on this highly-rated Rotterdam class ship, based in Vancouver and refurbished just one year ago in 2025.

The Zaandam Holland America wows guests with a spa, a gym, two jacuzzis, a casino, and a basketball court.
