Some people have asked me why we picked September, and why we picked Holland America. Well, here are the answers.

  1. Holland America is the leader in Alaska. They have been cruising there longer than anyone else. They are the experts in Alaska. Their headquarters is even located in Seattle. 
  2. Holland America ships are classified as mid-sized ships. While many other cruise lines have 3-5 thousand people on their ships, the ship we will be on in Alaska holds just 1,972 passengers.
  3. They are one of the very few lines which offer an optional full dining plan during the land portion. This will cover the meals at the lodges, hotels, and on the domed train.
  4. They have a higher quality dining experience with sterling silver, Riedel stemware, and Rosenthal and Bvlgari China.
  5. Over $150,000 a week is spent on fresh flowers on each ship.
  6. Exensive museum-quality collection of art and antiques on every ship.
  7. Stylish, spacious cabins, compared to the other cruise lines.
  8. Best Overall Cruise Value - 22 consecutive years ~ Ocean & Cruise News
  9. High Deluxe Five-Star-Plus Rating - World Ocean & Cruise Line Society
  10. Highest-rated Premium Cruise Line - Conde' Nast Traveller
  11. Brass finishes, expansive teak wood decks, including a wraparound Promenade Deck encircling the ship lined with teak deck chairs and wool blankets.
  12. This time of the season is when you can catch the salmon spawning upstream.
  13. And one of the biggest reasons is that in September you will have the best opportunity to see the "Northern Lights" during the land/train portion of the trip.
  14. Well I would say that about sums it up, wouldn't you.
