As Holland America Line (HAL) prepares to celebrate 80 years of taking guests to Alaska in 2027, Canadian Affair is highlighting a range of cruise-and-tour packages designed to help agents capitalise on growing demand for immersive holidays to this awe-inspiring   destination.
With one of the widest selections of Alaska cruise itineraries available, HAL offers agents a trusted product that consistently delivers exceptional guest experiences. The cruise line sails to Glacier Bay National Park more often than any other major cruise operator, giving clients access to one of Alaska’s most spectacular natural wonders.
For agents looking to maximise sales opportunities in this high-demand destination, Canadian Affair combines HAL’s award-winning Alaska cruises with expertly crafted land programmes, creating seamless coast-to-interior holidays that offer clients the very best of Alaska and Canada.
Bringing the destination to life with Alaska Up Close
What sets HAL apart is its commitment to destination immersion. Through its Alaska Up Close programme, guests gain a deeper understanding of the region through onboard experts, cultural presentations and local insights that enhance every stage of the journey.
Guests also benefit from the expertise of onboard Park Rangers, who provide fascinating commentary as ships sail through Alaska’s iconic wilderness areas. From spotting whales and bears to understanding the region’s rich history and geology, travellers are connected to the destination in a meaningful way throughout their cruise.
These immersive experiences help agents sell more than just a holiday – they create memorable journeys that clients will talk about long after they return home.
HAL and Canadian Affair – creating the ultimate Alaska adventure
Increasingly, clients want to experience more than Alaska’s coastline alone and HAL’s Alaska Cruisetours provide a seamless way to combine a cruise with inland adventures, allowing travellers to experience the state’s dramatic landscapes from multiple perspectives. Canadian Affair can then build a bigger package around these Cruisetours.
Highlights include stays in Denali National Park, scenic rail journeys through breathtaking wilderness, time exploring Denali Square and accommodation in exclusive lodges. With all connections carefully coordinated, clients can enjoy a stress-free journey from ship to land.
For agents, these itineraries offer an excellent opportunity to increase booking value while delivering an unforgettable holiday experience.
Standout packages for 2027
Canadian Affair offers a range of Holland America Line holiday packages, taking in Alaska and Canada.
The Yukon & Denali itinerary is ideal for travellers looking to venture beyond the coastline and explore Alaska’s spectacular interior. Alongside a cruise, guests travel deep into the wilderness on scenic rail journeys, spending time in the heart of Denali National Park and the Yukon.
Perfect for repeat cruisers, wildlife enthusiasts and clients seeking a more adventurous and in-depth Alaska experience, it showcases a side of the destination that many visitors never get to see.
For clients wanting a premium, bucket-list journey, the Rail & Cruise Rockies & Alaska Cruise Extravaganza combines two iconic North American travel experiences in one itinerary. Guests travel through the majestic Canadian Rockies aboard the world-renowned Rocky Mountaineer, taking in dramatic mountain scenery, glacier-fed lakes and picturesque towns before joining a HAL Alaska cruise.
The itinerary showcases the best of both destinations, from Canada’s spectacular interior landscapes to Alaska’s rugged coastline, creating a multi-centre holiday packed with unforgettable moments, for example for honeymooners or premium customers seeking multiple iconic experiences in one seamless, expertly planned holiday.
