A memorable cruise experience! 9 , VIC, Australia, Jul 2023
Our Holland America cruise ship Koningsdam was wonderful in all aspects! Balcony stateroom, food & beverage options catered for all! Staff and service was excellent. We believe the number of cruise ships allowed to berth in the Alaskan small towns was excessive.
Alaska cruise with Holland America Line 7 , VIC, Australia, Aug 2022
Holland America is only 1 of 2 cruise lines that is permitted to head into Glacier Bay, a highlight of the Alaska cruise that is not to be missed. Apart from that, the cruise line offers numerous dining options, many of which are fine dining selections. The wine packages that were for purchase featured high-quality wines from around the world.
