Next up is Aaron, who sailed aboard Koningsdam in 2023... 👇

📍 Favourite Port: Skagway

Steeped in Gold Rush history and surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery, Skagway is one of Alaska's most iconic ports. Whether it's riding the world-famous White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad, discovering the town's fascinating frontier past, or taking in incredible wildlife and glacier views, there's adventure around every corner.

Aaron loved the perfect balance of history, scenery and authentic Alaskan charm that makes Skagway such a memorable stop.

The one week countdown to Alaska 2028 launch is ON! 🙌🙌

Today we're spotlighting on Laura Hough, HAL's UK Marketing Executive's extensive experience in Alaska - she was lucky enough to work onboard Holland America Line before joining the UK team 🚢

I first stepped foot in Alaska 10 years ago during summer. I was working onboard Westerdam as a photographer, which meant every Glacier Bay day was spent out on deck, soaking up the breathtaking scenery, sharing unforgettable moments with guests, and capturing memories that would last a lifetime. While I was preserving their first Alaska memories, I was making my own too. 💙
I spent the entire 2016 Alaska season sailing these incredible waters, and before I knew it, Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan felt like my second home. I wandered Creek Street in the sunshine, enjoyed countless bowls of clam chowder in Sitka's welcoming communities, and took every chance I could get to go whale watching in Juneau. I also spent plenty of time posing with our Alaska characters after stepping off the gangway and into a new adventure each week!
Since then, Alaska has truly become a home away from home, with another four seasons spent there throughout my career. For me, it remains one of the most special places on Earth. It's a place where I felt safe, inspired, and completely connected to nature. No matter how many times we returned, every week brought a brand new adventure and a fresh reason to fall in love with Alaska all over again.
With Alaska 2028 just around the corner, I can't wait to see future guests create their own unforgettable memories in this incredible destination. 🏔️🐋✨

As excitement builds for our Alaska 2028 launch next week, we're taking a trip down memory lane and sharing Emma's photos from her very first Alaska FAM back in 2018! 🏔️🐋

"My first Alaska experience was nothing short of incredible! Cruising through Glacier Bay was a real goosebump moment and my photos simply don't do it justice. There is a vibe in Alaska like no other and it is utterly stunning.
Sitka was one of my favourite port days, especially a Zodiac tour where I saw orcas and sea lions in their natural habitat. I also loved Juneau, where we did a Bike & Brew tour. What a combo, a crisp Alaskan beer after cycling through the mountains!
Alaska really is a destination that stays with you long after you've left and I can't wait to go back with my family one day and visit Denali."

⏳ Only 2 Weeks Until Alaska 2028 Launches!

The countdown is well and truly on! With just two weeks to go until our Alaska 2028 launch, we're continuing to share some of the team's unforgettable Alaska memories, favourite moments and insider tips from this incredible destination.

This week, we're spotlighting Serena, who went on holiday to Alaska last month aboard Koningsdam with her husband.

While there were countless memorable moments throughout the trip, one experience stood out above all others: Glacier Bay National Park.

As the ship opened its bow for scenic cruising, Serena and her husband wrapped up warm and headed out to take in the breathtaking views. Surrounded by towering glaciers and pristine wilderness, they were treated to an incredible display of Alaska's wildlife, spotting whales, otters, sea lions and seals throughout the day.

And the wildlife encounters didn't stop there... one of the most exciting sightings came from the comfort of their own verandah when they spotted a bear roaming along the shoreline! 🐻

🔭 Top Tip from Serena: Don't forget to pack a good pair of binoculars. You never know what wildlife might appear, and they'll help you make the most of every sighting.

📸 Check out Serena's photos below!

Guests Wowed by Eclipse Views; Holland America Prepares for More Astronomical Voyages in 2027 ☀️🌑

Eclipse cruises offer travellers more opportunities to experience nature’s most extraordinary phenomena from sea.

Seattle, Wash., Aug. 13, 2026 — Thousands of Holland America Line guests gathered on decks across three ships to witness the rare phenomenon of a total solar eclipse Aug. 12, 2026. Clear skies and strategic positioning led to breathtaking views for guests aboard Nieuw Statendam, Oosterdam and Zuiderdam.

“Watching a total solar eclipse unfold at sea was an unforgettable experience” said Captain Werner Timmers of Nieuw Statendam. “One of the advantages of viewing an eclipse from a ship is the ability to carefully position the vessel for optimal conditions. Combined with an unobstructed horizon, it created a remarkable way to experience this rare phenomenon and was one of the highlights of my career as a captain.”

The 2026 eclipse sailings allowed two Holland America ships to position off the coast of Iceland with a third positioned off the coast of Spain, providing two very different perspectives to the eclipse. Eclipse experts gave viewing guidance to guests ahead of time, along with glasses and advice to view the eclipse safely.

Guests seeking to experience this in 2027 can sail aboard Nieuw Statendam’s 28-Day Legendary Solar Eclipse & Cosmic Port Explorer, departing July 9, 2027. Sailing roundtrip Dover, the voyage explores 13 ports across Denmark, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar and Morocco, including an overnight stay in Barcelona.
