Holland America Line offers you the largest quantity of tour options for a Ketchikan Alaska Cruise as their 7 cruise ships are in port almost 140 times a season!  And luckily, every ship makes a stop in Ketchikan!

Holland America Cruise Alaska is known for their classic style of cruising.  They were the first cruise line to offer Alaska cruises and have been perfecting the art of Cruising for close to two thousand years!

While Holland America Line's clientele is typically wealthy and conservative, they are working hard to encourage a younger crowd by offering features that are most requested on cruises - internet access, 'As you Wish' dining, and more.

While each Holland America Cruise Alaska Ship has a unique theme, they are all colorful and feature a substantial art collection onboard.  Be sure to take a self-guided iPod tour, available at the concierge desk.

Children are welcome aboard and there are kids clubs available.  However, unlike the Disney Cruise Line's Kids club, Holland America Line divides the kids up by age groups.  The three age groups are 3 to 7, 8 to 12 and 13 to 17.
