Holland America Line Unveils 2027 Alaska Season, Celebrating 80 Years of Unforgettable Journeys in the Great Land
SEATTLE, Aug. 7, 2025 /CNW/ -- Holland America Line is preparing to celebrate 80 years of exploring Alaska with more than 100 cruises now available for booking as part of its 2027 anniversary season. The cruise line, known as the leader in bringing guests closer to Alaska's wildlife, also announced newly enhanced Cruisetour experiences, designed to connect guests to the heart of the Great Land in even more meaningful ways by land and sea.
From April through September 2027, Holland America Line will deploy six ships to Alaska, offering a range of immersive itineraries that bring travelers up close to glaciers and iconic wildlife. Guests can choose to sail roundtrip from Seattle, Washington; roundtrip from Vancouver, British Columbia; or between Vancouver and Whittier, Alaska, with voyages ranging from seven to 28 days — including a popular monthlong " Legendary Alaska Arctic Circle Solstice" and a new eight-day option roundtrip from Vancouver. With more than 175 shore excursions, including a new Reindeer Encounter at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, Holland America Line features more wildlife and wilderness tours than any other cruise line.
"As we approach our 80 th year exploring the Great Land, we're proud to offer cruises and Cruisetours that deepen our legacy of expertise and enrich every guest's experience," said Dan Rough, vice president of revenue management for Holland America Line. "From tasting locally sourced seafood and engaging with park rangers at Glacier Bay, to watching bears roam under the guidance of wildlife experts — our Alaska cruises and Cruisetours are crafted to be unforgettable."
In the lead-up to the milestone 80 th anniversary, Holland America Line will roll out enhanced "Ultimate Alaska & Denali" in 2026. These Cruisetours offer travelers an expanded way to experience the Great Land by combining multi-day inland adventures — including a two-night stay at Holland America Denali Lodge, and a visit to iconic Alyeska, Seward or Homer — with an unforgettable 7-Day "Glacier Discovery" cruise. Each "Ultimate" Cruisetour itinerary will now feature a dedicated Tour Director to provide insights and ensure a seamless journey. Guests will also enjoy a new complimentary visit to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center to meet moose, bison, bears and more while learning about the care and preservation of these iconic species.
Holland America Line's 2027 Alaska cruises and 2026 Cruisetours are open for booking now, offering unforgettable journeys into the Great Land. For those looking to pair their 2027 cruise with an inland exploration, 2027 Cruisetours will be available for booking later this fall.

What every first-time traveller should know Français
OTTAWA, ON, Aug. 21, 2025 /CNW/ - Travelling outside Canada for the first time, whether you're going by yourself or in a group, can be an exciting, but nerve-racking experience. Visiting new countries and encountering different cultures for the first time can be a challenge, let alone navigating massive international airports on your own. To help you ease into international travel and stay safe throughout your life as a traveller, remember the 3 Rs: Read up, Register with us and Reach us. To learn more and discover other important advice to keep in mind for every trip, read on! Read up on your destination Make the Government of Canada's Travel advice and advisories an essential part of your trip-planning process. Take note of important information for your destination(s), including: entry and exit requirements, including whether you need a visa or electronic travel authorization (ETA) potential safety risks and scams of which to be mindful laws and customs that could impact your experience vaccinations or medications that may be required or recommended weather trends that could affect your packing list and travel plans If you plan on renting anything, from a scooter to a car, check to see whether your destination requires that you have an International Driving Permit or whether they will accept your Canadian driver's license. Don't forget to look into whether your destination is credit-card friendly, cash-dependent or a mix depending on the vendor or service. Take note of currency conversion rates, automated teller machine (ATM) fees and bank charges for a currency exchange to avoid surprises. Be aware of potential money-exchange scams and card skimmers. You should also find out what kind of adapters you will need for your electronics and whether a voltage converter will be necessary where you are going. Bring power banks for charging on the go and avoid bringing larger electronics if possible. Planning your trip Consider what travel documents you will need for your trip. If you haven't yet travelled internationally and need a passport, make sure you submit your application early enough that it will be processed and delivered to you in time for your trip. Remember to allow time for getting visas, if needed. If you already have a passport, check your destination's passport validity requirements to make sure it doesn't expire during that period. When booking air travel, remember to give yourself plenty of time before your flight and during any layovers so that you have time to go through security screening and any immigration checkpoints, and to find your departure gates. Research carry-on and checked baggage regulations for your airline(s) as well as limits for liquids, aerosols and gels because going over the limit may result in having to leave products behind at the airport or paying for an extra bag. It is also essential that you get comprehensive travel insurance for the length of your trip and that you understand what it does, and does not, cover. If you like activities such as scuba diving, biking and surfing, or even riskier sports such as mountain climbing or sky diving, make sure your insurance covers adventure tourism and includes helicopter rescue and medical evacuation. Stay connected Make sure you register with us through the Registration of Canadians Abroad service before you leave Canada. This way, you'll get important updates from the Government of Canada if something serious happens in your destination country—such as a natural disaster or a large protest—or if something happens back home. Plus, you'll get alerts about any changes to the official travel advice so that you can make safer decisions while travelling. It is also important to stay in regular contact with your loved ones back home so that they know you are safe. Leave behind a detailed itinerary and make sure you update them if anything changes. Before using free public Wi-Fi, make sure you understand the associated cyber security risks. Research whether you can and should use a virtual private network (VPN) for secure Internet access and take other measures to protect your information. You may want to consider getting an eSIM (an electronic, rather than a physical, SIM card for your mobile device) with data or adding roaming to your Canadian data plan as an alternative. Finally, find the Canadian office nearest to your destination(s) and save the contact information somewhere easily accessible. Knowing how to reach us can be crucial if you need assistance while abroad. For emergency assistance while outside of Canada, you can contact the Emergency Watch and Response Centre, which is in Ottawa and available 24/7.

Canadian Geographic announces the winners of its Canadian Wildlife Photography of the Year competition
-based photographer Maxime Légaré-Vézina is the Canadian Wildlife Photographer of the Year and begins a two-year term as the Audain Emerging Photographer-in-Residence with Canadian Geographic OTTAWA, ON, Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - Canadian Geographic, Canada's #1 paid magazine has chosen the winners of its 2025 Canadian Wildlife Photography of the Year competition, which celebrates remarkable images of Canadian wildlife captured by Canadian photographers. Out of a total of more than 10,000 entries, nine photographers were honoured for their outstanding work. "Incredible wildlife photography is a pillar of our work at the magazine, and we're always on the lookout for emerging talent," said Canadian Geographic Editor-in-Chief Alexandra Pope. "The magazine team and our judges were impressed with the amazing diversity of species and scenes entered into the competition this year — from enormous polar bears to tiny fireflies and everything in between." Photos were entered into four categories — "Terrestrial life," "Aquatic life," "Flora and fungi" and "Things with wings" — and judged by Canadian Geographic 's editorial and design staff, as well as professional wildlife photographers Ryan Tidman, Jenny Wong and John E. Marriott. "Terrestrial life" winner Jean-Simon Bégin gave us chills with his shot of a family of Canada lynx making their way through a heavy snowfall in northern Ontario. "Aquatic life" winner Alex Côté offered us a compelling glimpse at the hidden world of freshwater with his atmospheric shot of a common merganser chick diving in Quebec's Lake Memphremagog. With wildfires once again dominating headlines this summer, "Flora and fungi" winner Jillian A. Brown captured the deadly beauty of a fire near Squamish, B.C. as the flames consumed moss on a cliff face. "Things with wings" winner Leslie Poulson wowed the judges with a macro shot of a northern spreadwing dragonfly covered in droplets of morning dew. One photographer's body of work stood out among all the entries. The 2025 Canadian Wildlife Photographer of the Year is Maxime Légaré-Vézina of Quebec City, who now begins a two-year term as the Audain Emerging Photographer-in-Residence with Canadian Geographic. Thanks to the generous support of the Audain Foundation, whose wildlife conservation mandate is focused in British Columbia, Légaré-Vézina will have the opportunity to shoot on assignment for Canadian Geographic in B.C. and participate in events promoting visual storytelling. Three years ago, Légaré-Vézina, 36, left his steady bank job to pursue photography full-time. "So far, so good. I'm not bankrupt yet!" he jokes. Since then, he's devoted himself to observing wildlife, learning animal behaviour and honing the patience needed to capture moments of piercing eye contact with different species. Being named the inaugural Audain Emerging Photographer-in-Residence is both an honour and an opportunity to keep exploring, he says. "There are so many places in Canada I want to photograph. My passion is still there: to travel, discover new places, new species and live this life of adventure." The winning images will be published in Canadian Geographic 's November/December issue, available on newsstands starting October 15. About the Can Geo Photo Club Canadian Geographic actively seeks out and nurtures Canadian photographic talent through its Photo Club, a free-to-join, 15,000-member-strong community of amateur and professional photographers. The Club hosts two competitions per year.

Winter is Coming: Vail Resorts Announces 2025/26 Winter Opening Dates and What's Ahead for Upcoming Season
• Epic Pass Holders Now Get "Epic Friend Tickets;" Lowest Price of Fall Ends Sept. 1 BROOMFIELD, Colo., Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ -- Vail Resorts today announced target winter opening dates for the 2025/26 ski and ride season for resorts located in the North American Rocky Mountains and West, as well as Europe—plus a sneak peek at what's in the mix for guests this season. Guests get access to all of these resorts and more with the Epic Pass, available now at the lowest price of the Fall until September 1. Now is the time to mark your calendars, get the trip out of the group chat with new " Epic Friend Tickets," and unlock your adventure with five easy steps. 1. Pick Your Resorts The season is less than 75 days away, and the resorts are gearing up. Keystone will be blazing the trail, opening as early as possible in October with the help of Mother Nature and the resort's state-of-the-art, energy-efficient snowmaking system. The rest of Vail Resorts' larger resorts in North America and Switzerland plan to open in the weeks that follow, and the season will last more than half the year, going all the way to May at Breckenridge and Whistler Blackcomb. Target Opening Dates* *All opening dates are subject to change, based on weather and conditions Vail Resorts will announce opening day targets for its resorts in the East closer to the start of the season. Those resorts expect to open consistent with target dates shared in years past. 2. Pick Your Fun There's so much fun to pick from this year across Vail Resorts' portfolio, including guest experience enhancements, headline music acts, world-class competitions, signature dining experiences and more. Starting at Whistler Blackcomb, get ready to celebrate winter in a big way with the 60 th Anniversary of Whistler Mountain and the new Wonder Routes. Alpine Sampler? Going for Gold? Glade Stashes? Or, here for the Après? No matter your ski and ride style, Wonder Routes offers a network of trails, waypoints, and stops to help you discover all of the wonders and jaw-dropping experiences that make Whistler Blackcomb one of the best resorts in the world. When you're ready to call it a day on the mountain, the fun continues with a vibrant village and legendary après scene to carry the celebrations well into the evening. Park City Mountain is set to debut the new Sunrise Gondola for winter 2025/26, replacing the Sunrise limited-access lift with a high-speed 10-person gondola for faster, more reliable access out of Canyons Village all the way to the Red Pine Lodge area. Paired with upgrades to beginner terrain and the kids' Ski and Ride School area at Red Pine Lodge, these enhancements beckon guests to ignite their passion in a setting where they truly belong. Also returning this season, the new signature Orange Bubble Bite, a complimentary daily sweet treat made with orange, rosemary and honey, welcomes guests back to Canyons Village after a day on the mountain. Starting this December in Colorado, Vail Mountain, Beaver Creek Resort, Keystone Resort and Breckenridge Ski Resort will be launching a new technology in the My Epic app that takes Ski and Ride School to the next level. With innovative new features, parents and students can easily check in for lessons, receive real-time updates and photos, track progress, and celebrate milestones and skills with digital badges, all from the convenience of their phone. Keystone's River Run Village is set to debut the highly anticipated Kindred Resort at the base of River Run Gondola. Kindred Resort will open as Colorado's newest premier luxury development, featuring ski-in, ski-out residences along with a RockResorts-branded hotel. This new development will also be the new home of Keystone Ski and Ride School, and slopeside retail and rental. At Breckenridge, guests can expect the high-energy vibe and unique town-to-mountain connection to continue this season, with weekend concert series and high-level competitions to be announced closer to the season. Special celebrations for milestone anniversary years are coming together across a number of Vail Resorts' North American resorts. In addition to Whistler's 60th anniversary, Heavenly is celebrating 70 years of fun and iconic Lake Tahoe views. On the East coast, Okemo celebrates 70 years of Vermont adventure, while Liberty hits 60 years of carving memories in the snow. In Switzerland, Andermatt-Sedrun-Disentis is adding two new six-seater chairlifts for the upcoming 2025/26 winter season. These new lifts will better connect Val Val to Cuolm Val and Val Val to Calmut, significantly increasing uphill capacity and reducing lift wait times. Additionally, Crans-Montana Mountain Resort has invested in upgraded snowmaking throughout the Verdets area with new energy-efficient snow guns, elevating the slope and snow quality. Resorts across the portfolio will be celebrating this Olympic year with world-class competitions, including Birds of Prey at Beaver Creek, which will welcome back the U.S. Men's Ski Team and racers from around the world and act as an Olympic qualifier from December 4-7. Whistler Blackcomb will host the World Ski and Snowboard Fest in April once again, and more events will be announced closer to the start of the season. 3.
