Cruise aboard the Holland America Line

With over 50 years of operation in Alaska, Holland America Line is the true pioneer of cruising in the region. Enjoy a cruise that is small enough to embrace the little luxuries, while large enough to offer award-winning onboard entertainment and a range of culinary options, developed by a team of world-class chefs. Holland America Line ships are refreshingly uncrowded and perfectly sized to cruise Alaska’s Inside Passage and picturesque Canada and New England.

Come onboard the Rocky Mountaineer

Take your seat for the glass-domed adventure of a lifetime and get comfortable as your world-class train rolls through rugged wilderness, passing forested cliffs, alpine rivers and snowy peaks. And because APT provides the luxury of GoldLeaf Service on every Rocky Mountaineer holiday in Canada, the five-star views will, of course, be matched by five-star service.
