New Glacier Guarantee™ allows guests to sail
with confidence, knowing they're guaranteed to see Alaska glaciers
SEATTLE, May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Holland America Line
loves Alaska. Since 1947, the
cruise line has led the way in showcasing the majesty of the state
— including its magnificent glaciers. In fact, Holland America
Line's passion for Alaska's
glaciers runs so deep that the cruise line now guarantees guests
will see one or more glaciers on their cruise in the region.
Holland America Line Strengthens Love for
Alaska with Guarantee of Glacier
Viewings on Every Alaska Cruise
With guests citing seeing glaciers as one of the top reasons for
choosing an Alaska cruise, the
Glacier Guarantee™ assures travelers they won't return home
disappointed. The Glacier Guarantee™ is offered on Alaska departures from now through
September 2025. Under the guarantee,
if Holland America Line does not visit an Alaska glacier, guests are eligible to receive
a Future Cruise Credit equal to 15 percent of their cruise fare.
"Our guests, and especially first-time guests, are
understandably as obsessed with Alaska's glaciers as we are, and our new
Glacier Guarantee™ underlines our confidence in providing
unforgettable glacier sightings on our Alaska cruises and Cruisetours," said
Kacy Cole, chief marketing officer,
Holland America Line. "We know our guests are going to return home
from their cruise with special memories of these icy wonders. In
fact, we guarantee it."
Every Alaska cruise includes a
scenic visit to Alaska's iconic
glaciers during which the ship sails up to the face of the ice
formations and then rotates for a 360-degree view. Holland
America Line has more permits to
visit Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve than any other
cruise line, and other glacier visits including College Fjord,
Dawes Glacier, Hubbard Glacier and the Tracy Arm Fjord's Twin
Sawyer Glaciers.
During Glacier Bay scenic cruising, Glacier Bay National Park
Service Rangers visit Holland America Line ships for the day to
engage with guests and talk about Alaska's most famous national park.
'Glacier Day' Puts a Spotlight on Alaska's Majestic Glaciers
New for the 2024 season, Holland America Line also debuted "Glacier
Day" on its Alaska cruises as part
of its "We Love Alaska" onboard experience. Leaning into the cruise
line's enthusiasm for glaciers, Glacier Day includes sighting
times, scenic commentary, presentations, informational viewing
stations, photo opportunities, Dutch Pea Soup on deck, Glacial Ice
cocktails, insightful talks by Glacier Bay National Park Service
Rangers, and an open bow for viewing.
More Opportunities to See Alaska Wildlife Than Any Other
Cruise Line
In addition to glaciers, Holland America Line offers more ways to
see the wildlife of Alaska.
Holland America Line carries a
wildlife expert on board to help guests witness the majestic
animals found in Alaska, including
whales, eagles, bears, moose, otters, seals, sea lions and more. A
Wildlife Spotting Guide points out the native animals found along
the cruise route and includes a map with the best places to see
each species. Between 8 a.m. and 5:30
p.m., wildlife sightings are announced for guest
viewing.
The wildlife experience continues ashore. With nearly180 animal
sanctuaries and sightseeing opportunities, Holland America Line is
#1 in Alaska wildlife and
wilderness tours.
Alaska Features Six Ships Exploring The Great Land
In 2024 and 2025, guests can embark on Holland America Line's
