Set Sail on the Majestic Koningsdam
Get ready to embark, with us, on an unforgettable journey to the pristine wilderness of Alaska aboard the luxurious Koningsdam. Departing from the vibrant city of Vancouver on August 10th, this voyage promises breathtaking scenery, thrilling adventures, and the impeccable service that Holland America Line is renowned for. The Koningsdam, a pinnacle (See what we did there?) of modern elegance and innovation, offers everything we need for a perfect getaway – from world-class dining and entertainment to serene retreats and rejuvenating spas.
Ports of Call: Unveil Alaska’s Hidden Treasures
This seven-day voyage is packed with incredible ports of call, each offering unique experiences and stunning landscapes:
- Juneau: Together, we’ll explore Alaska's capital with a mix of historic charm and awe-inspiring natural beauty. Don’t miss joining us on the exhilarating helicopter ride over Juneau's rugged mountains, culminating in a thrilling glacier trek. Feel the crunch of ancient ice beneath our boots as we take in the vast, icy expanse – it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience we won’t forget.
- Skagway: We’ll step back in time to the gold rush era in this picturesque town. Let’s wander the charming streets, or for the more adventurous among us, hop on the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad for panoramic views of the mountains and gorges.
- Ketchikan: Known as the “Salmon Capital of the World,” Ketchikan offers more than just fish. We’ll explore the rich Native Alaskan culture at the Totem Heritage Center or embark on a wildlife safari to spot bald eagles, seals, and even bears in their natural habitat.
- Glacier Bay: We’ll witness nature's grandeur as we sail through Glacier Bay National Park. Let’s marvel at the massive tidewater glaciers and keep our cameras ready for sightings of humpback whales, sea otters, and maybe even a grizzly bear along the shoreline.
Onboard the Koningsdam: Luxury and Adventure Combined
When we're not exploring the Alaskan wilderness, the Koningsdam provides a luxurious retreat with a wealth of amenities and activities:
- Dining: We’ll indulge in a culinary journey with diverse dining options, from the elegant Pinnacle Grill to the relaxed ambiance of the Lido Market. We'll also sample some of the best seafood afloat at Rudi's Sel De Mer
- Entertainment: Together, we can enjoy dazzling performances at the World Stage, catch a movie under the stars, or dance the night away at B.B. King’s Blues Club. There's always something happening on board to keep us entertained.
- Relaxation: We can unwind at the Greenhouse Spa & Salon with a massage or facial, take a dip in the Lido Pool, or find our zen with a yoga session at the Fitness Center.
Our Maiden Voyage
This is our first time sailing with Holland America, but we’ve previously had the pleasure of visiting her sister ship, the Nieuw Statendam. Based on that experience, we have high expectations for this journey and are excited to see what the Koningsdam has to offer.
Join us for an unparalleled Alaskan adventure with Holland America Line. Whether we’re craving adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, this cruise on the Koningsdam has something for everyone. Pack your bags, bring your sense of adventure, and get ready to create memories that will last a lifetime!
Come set sail with us - Bon Voyage! 🚢
