Rockies adventures meet legendary Inside Passage cruising.
Discover the Canadian Rockies and cruise Alaska's Inside Passage in one expertly crafted journey with Holland America Line and Inspiring Vacations — by road, rail and sea.
From the peaks of Banff and Jasper to the glaciers of Alaska, experience North America's greatest wilderness by land and sea. Every journey weaves together the three great ways to travel this part of the world.
Escorted touring through Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and Whistler, with an expert trip leader and the icons of Western Canada along the way.
Glide through the Rockies aboard the glass-domed Rocky Mountaineer and Alaska's scenic railroads — the McKinley Explorer, White Pass & Yukon Route and more.
Sail Alaska's Inside Passage with Holland America Line — Glacier Bay, Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan, in legendary comfort.
Holland America Line has been cruising Alaska for more than 75 years — and it shows. Sail the sheltered waters of the Alaska Inside Passage, cruise into Glacier Bay National Park, and call at Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan, all with the line's renowned service, fresh regional dining and expert onboard naturalists.
On our Denali journeys you travel deep into Alaska's interior aboard Holland America Line's glass-domed McKinley Explorer rail cars, for a two-night stay at the Holland America Denali Lodge — right on the edge of Denali National Park.
Board the luxurious single-level domed rail cars of the McKinley Explorer to Denali. With their great panoramic windows, they're the perfect way to see this magnificent part of Alaska — canyons, cascading waterfalls, glaciers and spectacular scenery at every turn. On a clear day, you can see Denali (North America's tallest mountain) shortly after departing Anchorage.
Arrive at your remote lodge and enjoy the evening at leisure. There's a range of activities on offer at the Holland America Denali Lodge — speak with the hotel concierge or your Journey Host to make the most of your stay.
A 5–6 hour fully narrated sightseeing excursion into the heart of Denali National Park. Standing 20,310 feet above sea level, Denali is the crown jewel of Alaska's interior. On this expertly guided adventure you'll likely encounter Alaska's "big five" — grizzly bears, caribou, moose, Dall sheep and wolves — before returning to the lodge for a cocktail reception with your fellow travellers.

"From Niagara Falls to Lake Louise and the Athabasca Glacier, then onto the Rocky Mountaineer. Finally a cruise to Alaska. This holiday has been absolutely brilliant — another ticked off the bucket list."
"We have recently returned from a tour of Canada and Alaska — a trip I would unhesitatingly award 5 stars! The tour guide was fantastic, the hotels 4/5 star and the sightseeing amazing… their tours are exceptionally reasonably priced. Five stars all the way!"
"We did the 16 Day Inspiring Canada and Alaska cruise with Rocky Mountaineer. An amazing experience — so much wildlife, the Rocky Mountains and Banff National Park was my fav. Lake Louise is a must. The Alaska cruise was a highlight too. My second trip with Inspiring Vacations — they're the best at what they do. We'll definitely book again."
