Canada and Alaska
South America
China
New Zealand
The Kimberley - Australia
Scandinavia
Canada, Alaska and New England
Nothing quite compares to the grandeur of the landscapes in Canada and Alaska - the untamed frontier spirit remains in this pristine place, with glaciers, fjords, mountain ranges and alpine lakes waiting to be discovered. Cruise the Inside Passage then discover the wild Alaskan interior or cruise the waters of the New England coast combined with a tour of beautiful French Canada and visit the thunderous Niagara Falls.
Vancouver and The Inside Passage
Marvel at the untouched wilderness of Alaska's Inside Passage, a magical cruise that is a highlight of the Alaskan experience and home to massive glaciers, quiet fjords and the frontier towns of Ketchikan, Skagway and Juneau. The gateway to British Columbia is Vancouver, a vibrant city.
Canadian Rockies and Denali National Park
The Canadian Rockies are home to some of the largest mammals on earth - enormous grizzly bears, wolves, moose and wolverines. You might see them all, plus many of the other animals that survive in the tough northern environment in Denali National Park, Alaska, a magnificent preserve north of Anchorage. During the summertime, Denali comes alive and you can perhaps spot your very own grizzly on the Tundra Wilderness Tour.
East Coast and Niagara Falls
Canada's east coast offers spectacular scenery, historical cities and the famous Niagara Falls, all on the one tour! Board the 'Maid of the Mist' cruise to see Niagara Falls. Explore the French Canadian towns of Montréal and Québec, then cruise on board your luxury Holland America Line ship around the New England coast to Boston, taking in white beluga whales at Saguenay Fjord, stunning Prince Edward Island and the city of Halifax.
