Holland America Line Facebook fans have a lot of love for Alaska. From the cuteness of sled dog puppies and the amazing animals found in the wild, what’s not to love? But one of the main reasons travelers choose to cruise to Alaska is for the scenery — much of which can only been accessed on a ship. Stunning glaciers, lush landscapes and awe-inspiring views are everywhere … from port to starboard, aft to bow.
A highlight of each cruise is scenic cruising that takes guests to majestic places such as Glacier Bay, Tracy Arm and Hubbard Glacier. And not all of Alaska‘s glorious scenery is made of ice. The state also has rolling hills covered in colorful flora as far as the eye can see.
Enjoy our Facebook fans’ beautiful scenic shots snapped on Holland America Line’s Alaska cruises. But beware, they’re sure to entice you to book an Alaska cruise!
