SEATTLE, July 9, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ ----Considered a leader in Alaska tourism with more than 60 years experience in the region, Holland America Line's 2009 Alaska cruise lineup includes eight ships sailing three different itineraries with 158 total departures. The premium line's three major cruising itineraries -- Glacier Bay Inside Passage, Glacier Discovery and Alaskan Explorer -- showcase the highlights of Alaska gleaned from decades of experience.
A longtime tour operator, Holland America has again been awarded the most Glacier Bay permit entries of any cruise line. On many people's "must see" list, Glacier Bay is a 65-mile long fjord with spectacular tidewater glaciers.
"We've arranged our ships and itineraries for 2009 to ensure that everyone who sails, even if they are on board for only three days as part of a CruiseTour, will visit a tidewater glacier," said Richard D. Meadows, CTC, executive vice president, marketing, sales, and guest programs. "Seeing a glacier calve in front of you and hearing the thunderous cracking of ice is a thrilling experience every traveler should have at least once in a lifetime."
