Holland America Line Offers “Alaska Up Close” Programming

Holland America Line is investing 75 years of Alaska expertise into an experience that focuses on culture, cuisine and immersive adventures designed to allow guests to discover, taste and experience the real Alaska. Cruisers won’t simply cruise Glacier Bay – they will discover its ecosystem from native tribe members and National Park Rangers. Similarly, they won’t simply eat seafood – they will taste the salmon they caught that day and have it prepared by Holland America Line chefs.

EXC Talks Focus on History and Culture:
Elevating the shipboard lecture, EXC Talks offer insight into local culture through the eyes of Alaskans with vivid imagery, compelling interviews and authentic stories:

• “Breaking the Ice Ceiling” features stories of Alaskan women working in fields traditionally dominated by men.
• “Ancestral Memories” tells the stories of native Alaskans keeping their culture and language alive.
• “Pacific Giants” describes the wonders, habits and future of Alaska’s largest inhabitants.
• “Iditarod — The Last Great Race” shares what it’s like to ride in the sled of this amazing Alaskan adventure.

Guests will learn the science and history of Alaska’s splendors as naturalists lead workshops and host wildlife spotting on deck. Itineraries that include Glacier Bay National Park will feature a Park Ranger and a member of the Huna Tlingit Tribe who will share their insights, offer commentary and answer questions.
