North America’s highest mountain peak looms more than 20,000 feet above sea level. Majestic in scope, mighty in power, the snow-capped ripples press into the cloud-streaked skies — overlooking the 6 million-acre landscape of Denali National Park. Dense taiga forests at the lower levels climb into a high alpine tundra, creating a spectacle of nature at every point of your journey. Let Holland America Line take you there on a nine- or 14-day Denali Land+Sea Journey.

The wonders of Denali National Park are at your doorstep on these journeys. Roll through the landscape on the glass-domed McKinley Explorer^® to stay up to three nights at the exclusive McKinley Chalet Resort, a 60-acre property that sits just 1 mile from the park’s entrance. Rustically charming and filled with luxuries, Swiss-style chalets look onto the Nenana River. Welcome to your home away from home in one of the world’s most spectacular settings.

Only Holland America Line offers up to three nights near Denali, setting the tone for a break that connects elements of sheer relaxation with exhilarating discoveries. All two- and three-night stays include a Tundra Wilderness Tour — a 62-mile journey through Denali National Park where wildlife is the main attraction. Unpredictable yet plentiful, creatures such as Dall sheep, moose, caribou, wolves and grizzly bears — aka Denali’s “big five” — are roaming in the wild. On clear days, continue on to Stony Hill Overlook for epic views of Denali that extend from base to summit.

While exploring the wilderness will restore your sense of wonder of the world, there’s also plenty of time to recharge. Hang out in Holland America Line’s Denali Square to savor local fare, shop for handmade souvenirs and get to know Alaska artists through its summertime Artists-in-Residence program. Kick back in the evening by the firepit roasting s’mores and recounting your day’s adventures.

Let us create your ultimate adventure by pairing a visit to Denali with a journey into the Yukon — a combination that is only available on Holland America Line. You’ll travel through Canada’s remote and rugged terrain to experience all of its gems, like historic Dawson City in the heart of Gold Rush Country.

As part of your journey through the Yukon, you’ll board the narrow-gauge White Pass and Yukon Route railroad. From your perspective within a vintage rail car, you’ll feel completely connected to the sweeping vistas — rumbling through the mountains with soaring peaks piercing the skies and wildlife traipsing through the lush forested land before you.
