I have experienced Alaska 6 times, 5 with Holland America and once with Carnival. Whether you are departing from Vancouver, B.C., or Seattle, WA, get ready to experience the peaceful fjords, enter North America's temperate rain forest of Southeastern Alaska and see an abundance of wildlife. Words cannot adequately describe the majesty of Alaska and pictures never do it justice. I am a Platinum Level Academy Graduate from Holland America, and will make sure your Alaskan experience is one you will never forget. From helicopter rides where you land on a glacier to eating crabs in Ketchikan, there is something for everyone in each port of call. My most recent cruise in August 2022 we experienced a zodiac tour out of Sitka where we were able to get up close to wildlife and then enjoyed a king crab/prime rib feast at Fin Island Lodge, an experience not to be missed.
