While the Alaska cruise season is coming to a close, we’re sure you’re already dreaming of booking your Alaska adventure for 2017. After all, Holland America Line is celebrating our 70th year in The Last Frontier next year so it’s the perfect time to go. One of the highlights of every Alaska cruise is the wildlife. Not only can you see amazing animals on shore excursions, but often you can see them from the decks of the ship – bears roaming the shoreline, whales swimming in the distance!
