Holland America Line Unveils 2027 Alaska Season, Celebrating 80 Years of Unforgettable Journeys in the Great Land
Guests can experience enhanced 'Ultimate Alaska & Denali' Cruisetours that highlight unmatched expertise and deeper immersion into Alaska's wilderness and culture SEATTLE, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 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 80th 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 80th 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. Alaska 2027 Season Highlights Six ships will explore Alaska: Eurodam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Westerdam and Zaandam. New in 2027, an 8-Day 'Alaska Inside Passage' sailing takes guests roundtrip Vancouver through the storied Inside Passage before a visit to iconic Glacier Bay and calls to Skagway, Ketchikan, and British Columbia's Prince Rupert. The itinerary also includes a late-night departure from Juneau, Alaska's capital city. The popular 28-day 'Legendary Alaska Arctic Circle Solstice' cruise returns for a third year. Departing June 6 in time for the Summer Solstice, the voyage aboard Noordam sails roundtrip from Seattle to the Bering Sea and into the Arctic Circle to celebrate the Summer Solstice. The ship visits 11 Alaska ports, plus Prince Rupert and Vancouver. Guests will enjoy an overnight call at Anchorage and late-night departures from Juneau and Valdez, as well as scenic cruising through the historic Inside Passage and Great Bear Rainforest. Seven-day 'Alaska Inside Passage' cruises sail roundtrip from Vancouver on Koningsdam and Zaandam. A Sept. 12 departure is available aboard Westerdam, sailing from Vancouver to Seattle. The voyage takes guests to ports including Skagway, Ketchikan and Juneau, where they can immerse themselves in the history of the Gold Rush, as well as further explore the history, wildlife and glaciers of America's 49th and largest state. Seven-day 'Alaska Explorer' cruises sail roundtrip from Seattle aboard Eurodam and Noordam, and include calls at Victoria, British Columbia (evening visit); and Ketchikan, Juneau and Sitka. Eurodam also includes Alaska's Icy Strait Point and Glacier Bay; Noordam explores Dawes Glacier. Seven-day 'Northbound Glacier Discovery' and 'Southbound Glacier Discovery' itineraries cruise between Whittier (Anchorage) and Vancouver aboard Nieuw Amsterdam and Westerdam. Ports include Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway. Both itineraries include stops at Glacier Bay; the northbound itinerary includes a visit to College Fjord and the southbound includes a visit to Hubbard Glacier. The 14-Day 'Great Alaska Explorer' sails roundtrip from Seattle aboard Noordam, calling at lesser-explored ports like Kodiak, Valdez and Prince Rupert. It includes scenic cruising of Hubbard Glacier. Guests looking to combine Alaska with more of the wildlife and the rugged nature of British Columbia can embark on a 7-Day 'Great Bear Rainforest' cruise aboard Noordam sailing roundtrip Seattle or choose between two sailings of an 18-Day 'Great Bear Rainforest & Alaska Explorer' aboard Zaandam sailing roundtrip Vancouver. The seven-day visits Ketchikan, Nanaimo, Prince Rupert (overnight) and Victoria, with scenic cruising through the Great Bear Rainforest, while the 18-day visits nine ports — including lesser-called-at Kodiak and an overnight in Anchorage — and includes two days of scenic cruising in the Great Bear Rainforest and the Inside Passage. Glaciers Guaranteed on Every Alaska CruiseHolland America Line offers more opportunities for glacier viewing than any other cruise line. Every Alaska cruise includes a scenic visit to Alaska's iconic glaciers, where the ships sail up to the face of the ice formations and rotate for a 360-degree view. Holland America Line is confident that guests will have an unforgettable glacier experience and offers a 'Glacier Guarantee' program that pledges glacier viewing on every Alaska cruise and the majority of Cruisetours. Glaciers visited along the journey may include Glacier Bay National Park, College Fjord, Dawes Glacier, Hubbard Glacier and Twin Sawyer Glaciers of Tracy Arm. During Glacier Bay scenic cruising, Holland America Line continues to bring on a Glacier Bay National Park Ranger for the day to engage with guests. In addition to scenic viewing from the ship, guests can get up close to the ice on shore excursions featuring glaciers, including the 26 Glaciers Cruise from Whittier, Glacier Discovery Helicopter Tour in Skagway and the Mendenhall Glacier Float Trip in Juneau. More Ways to See Alaska's Wildlife in the WildBeyond providing more than 175 tours to see Alaska's wildlife and wilderness, Alaska ships also carry a wildlife expert on board to help guests witness the majestic animals found in the region, and a Wildlife Spotting Guide points out the native animals found along the cruise route and includes a map with the best places to see each species.

In addition to the seafood and other local delicacies served on the menus, ships in Alaska serve exclusive dishes created by the brand's Fresh Fish Ambassador Chef Morimoto.

#SHOWBIZ: Hollywood rom-com highlights Malaysia's scenic gems
DIRECTED by Tom Lin, the man behind 'The Garden Of Evening' Mists, also filmed in Malaysia, 'Worth The Wait' is yet another Hollywood movie that stars our very own country's scenic beauty and colourful cultures. It features a predominantly Asian ensemble cast from Malaysia, Singapore, China, South Korea and the United States, all delivering strong performances. Their characters' lives intersect, evolve, and transform through relationships that nurture growth and healing. The story is loosely based on its producers, former Malaysian beauty queen turned filmmaker Rachel Tan and her Malaysian-American husband Dan Mark, and their heartwarming, long-distance love story years ago. It is also centred around four Asian-American couples based in Seattle. First there is Teresa (Karena Lam) and Nathan (Osric Chau), who are rebuilding their lives after a miscarriage. Second, there are the dashing lawyer Kai (Ross Butler) and nurse Leah (Lana Condor), who are struggling to maintain a long-distance relationship discouraged by his elitist father Yun Han (Lim Yu-Bing). Third, there is Amanda (Elodie Yung) and Scott (Andrew Koji), an action movie star and a suave director who are exes forced to work together on a new movie, despite their uncomfortable past. And, finally, there is Blake (Ricky He) and Riley (Ali Fumiko Whitney), a teenage couple who are being kept apart by Riley's overprotective guardian and uncle, Curtis (Sung Kang of 'The Fast And The Furious' fame). Featuring most of Malaysia's major tourist attractions, such as the Petronas Twin Towers, Petaling Street, Bukit Bintang, Batu Caves, Melaka and Penang, viewers get to enjoy the country's colourful landscapes, activities and nightlife. The characters' dialogues reference their Asian heritage, and this is best exemplified by Mary (Phua Chu Kang's Tan Kheng Hua), Teresa's wise and caring mother, who strongly believes that bird's nest soup and other herbal confinement dishes will help her postpartum daughter recuperate. What is interesting and refreshing here is that the usually shallow role of love-struck teenage girls is given more substance, courtesy of high schooler Riley. She is not depicted as a rebellious teen who just wants to pursue her love interest, but one who is aware of her need to excel in her studies and obtain a university degree. While Riley loves Blake deeply, much to her uncle Curtis' chagrin, she doesn't put him before her own goal of attending university, as this was her late parents' dream, which they didn't live to see. Just as the female leads have their moments of vulnerability, so do the men. Even no-nonsense Curtis admits to Riley that his controlling behaviour is the result of his fear of failing in his pledge to her late parents that he would take good care of her. Sisterly love between female friends is highlighted by the activities conducted by grieving Teresa and disturbed Amanda, who both enjoy cross country runs that take their minds away from daily woes. Amanda encourages Teresa to open up about her grief, and in observing Teresa's courage after she suffers the miscarriage, Amanda realises that she has to be bold in telling inflexible Scott that they need not rekindle their love and just be friends. As for Nathan, his dilemma is that he feels inadequate as a husband, not knowing what to do to comfort his wife. But with a little advice from Mary, he convinces Teresa to join Amanda's group for people coping with pain and loss. As for the parents, Curtis, Yun Han and Mary break the stereotype of the "tiger-like" Asian parent. Curtis and Yun Han initially sound intimidating, but when they get to know Blake and Leah better, their hearts gradually soften, and they reveal their own loves and losses. The most endearing scene for Malaysians is the night market scene, where Kai and Leah have durian. It happens to be Condor's first time eating the fruit and that makes her delighted expression genuine. 'Worth The Wait' realistically depicts first time parents, teens, celebrities and young urban professionals dealing with intense emotions and painful challenges. And while lots of tears are shed, they do their utmost to find the silver linings behind every cloud. WORTH THE WAIT
