Alaska Discovery Land & Cruise featuring a 7-night Holland America Cruise

We enjoyed the entire trip, accommodations, excursions, food, tour manager, tour guides, the coordination and handling of luggage...we feel we got our money worth!

Horrible experience. Unsafe conditions to be traveling down the coast. Didn’t get to see excursions. Ship should have gone into port; 13’ waves. Have never felt unsafe before on a trip, but I certainly did this time. Never want to travel on any Holland America line again.

Bad weather didn’t help but disappointed in Holland. I heard from a neighbor when I returned that they went on Princess 2 weeks prior and Holland on a beautiful day didn’t go to Big Glacier when Princess and Norwegian’s did. Wish I had known Holland appears to be third in Alaska. And disappointed in our cruise director Chris. He said he would be sending emails out and a picture of group. Picture of group he sent in a format you can’t open. Heard from few I do have contacts of they could not open either. We emailed Chris a few times and nothing back from him.

My most memorable experiences were the train from Denali to Talkeetna, and the cruise in Glacier Bay. We were blessed with exceptionally good weather.

I would have liked the option of upgrading my room and was not informed of many options on my cruise. In addition I would have liked Collette to have used my global entry information. You organize many tours and to not even ask for that information is unacceptable.

All was great, with the exception of the fact I caught a cold. That slowed me down for a couple of days. Don't know what we did to have such great weather.

Excellent tour. Great accommodations, excursions and included land excursions were excellent. Your guide was very organized and handled everything well

We flew to Fairbanks a day early, so we had a free day to explore Fairbanks on our own. We had a fun visit to the Fairbanks Ice Museum followed by lunch at The Crepery, all within walking distance to the Westmark Fairbanks. After lunch we strolled along the Chena River viewing the Golden Heart Plaza, the Land Lease Monument, and the Antler Arch. We then visited the impressive Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center with its interpretive exhibits and displays. As we walked back to the hotel, we stopped in at the Humble Roots Beer Project for some locally brewed beer. A great way to start our trip.
