Small ships- whether expedition or luxury ships - are wildly popular worldwide now- Alaska to Antarctica to Norway and Northwest Passage! European River cruises are also a large part of my practice. I look forward to helping you plan your luxury/adventure small ship adventure.

Holland America in Alaska-Classic Mid to Large Sized Ships (not Megaships!)
for those who want lots of choices, amenities, and even luxury for their Alaska cruise, combined with lower prices than the small ships (with specials, it's downright cheap!). Holland America has been in Alaska longer than any other company, and owns not only the ships, but many hotels, railcars, motorcoaches, and more. I can highly recommend Holland America in Alaska for both adults and families.
I worked for Holland America Line for 10 years, including 2 years at sea, so I know these ships very well. If you are considering a combination cruise & tour, allow my experience to help you sort through all of the choices- it gets so confusing! I also have access to the best prices and amenities (most departures).

7 and 14 day cruises of the Inside Passage and across Gulf of Alaska (the 14 day itinerary is awesome and goes to Kodiak Island and Homer in addition to the famed Inside Passage- unpack once!)
-
10-14 day combination cruise and Denali land journey
-
10-20 day combination cruise, Denali, AND the Yokon- see it all!

" We had never really considered a cruise vacation but it seemed the best way to see the Inside Passage of Alaska. The small ships were out of our budget, so you recommended a balcony cabin on Holland America. We were SO pleased with our cruise- so much to see and do, and wonderful accomodations. Alaska from our balcony was stunning. The shore excursions you recommended were awesome. We had so much fun we're now thinking of a cruise through the Panama Canal on one of Holland America's other ships. Thanks for everything!"
