Cue the Alaska cruisetour<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here are some quick travel tips to help you make the most of an epic journey on a cruisetour:<\/p>\n<\/div> When you embark on an Alaska cruisetour with Holland America Line, you\u2019ll be in the company of experts guiding your experience every step of the way. Kick back in our private railcars and luxury motorcoaches. Bask in Alaska\u2019s beauty at our McKinley Chalet Resort. Enjoy having luggage taken directly to your room. Savor the moments of witnessing Alaska wildlife in their own habitat with more than 175 sanctuary and sightseeing excursions. And if you\u2019ve ever wanted to visit a place unlike any other, make sure the Yukon<\/a> is on your itinerary. Surrounded by Canada\u2019s tallest peaks, this vast territory is home to small communities with big personality and breathtaking views, and Holland America Line can take you there.<\/p>\n New for 2024, the Navigator app brings your cruisetour itinerary details to your fingertips, ensuring you know what\u2019s happening, when and where.<\/p>\n It can be cool in Alaska even during summer months. Check the weather forecast ahead of your trip to help you pack accordingly. Keep essentials (e.g., medications, extra layers, camera, binoculars) with you during day activities when you\u2019re away from your room. That way you always have key items with you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> There\u2019s no need to transport luggage on your own once you embark on your journey. We\u2019ll take care of the luggage details between your destinations. If your vacation begins with the land segment of your cruisetour, you\u2019ll receive luggage instructions upon arrival in Alaska. If your journey begins with the cruise segment, you\u2019ll receive instructions the night before you disembark from the ship.<\/p>\n As you journey into the countryside of the Great Land, you\u2019ll experience multiple transfers, from motorcoaches to the glass-domed McKinley Explorer. Prepare for some quality R&R as you disconnect from the noise of the world and immerse yourself in nature. That means no Wi-Fi to distract yourself from the beauty that will surround you. Just enjoy the view while indulging in meals available on board for purchase.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t miss the chance to book unforgettable excursions during the land segment of your tour. Though this can\u2019t be done on board, you can book ahead of your trip at your hotels, including McKinley Chalet Resort.<\/p>\n Make the most of your trip by exploring our cruise deals<\/a> and opportunities for room upgrades<\/a>.
