Ashore, Holland America offers nearly 180 shore excursions to see a wide range of species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to these wildlife-viewing opportunities, the mission of the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Centre (AWCC) remains top of mind for Holland America. Guests on northbound voyages can visit the conservation centre between Whittier and Anchorage and see Eland the Moose on exclusive shore excursions, experiencing the peaceful setting surrounded by alpine glaciers and Alaska&#8217;s beautiful wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holland America Line&#8217;s 2026 Alaska cruise season features six ships: Koningsdam, Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Westerdam and Zaandam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sample departures&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Seven-day Alaska Explorer round-trip from Seattle aboard Eurodam and Noordam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seven-day Alaska Inside Passage round-trip from Vancouver aboard Koningsdam and Zaandam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nine-day Denali &amp;
