7 Night Alaska Inside Passage Cruise aboard the Holland America Zaandam

Share

Prepare yourself for seven nights of refreshing travel across the sea when you step aboard the Holland America Zaandam from Vancouver and back again.

This trip is particularly exciting because you will exclusively visit uncommon ports such as Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan. This is a standard route for the Zaandam.

At under $130 a day, this represents a solid bargain. We include all entertainment, meals, port fees, and taxes in the price, so that you can compare trips easily.
