The Noordam sailed from Seattle earlier this month to kick off Holland America Line's 28-night Legendary Alaska Arctic Circle Solstice Voyage.
As one of the company's longest cruises in the region, the monthlong itinerary includes visits to a wide range of destinations across Alaska and British Columbia.
After departing from its homeport in Washington, the Noordam sailed to Ketchikan, Sitka and Icy Strait Point.
The 2006-built vessel then visited Valdez before calling at two of Alaska's less-visited destinations: Dutch Harbor and Nome.
Holland America is the only large cruise line visiting the latter through 2027, with a second visit scheduled for the Noordam next summer.
Continuing its cruise, the Noordam is now scheduled to visit Kodiak ahead of an overnight stay in Anchorage. Other ports of call include Haines, Juneau and Wrangell, as well as Prince Rupert.
The itinerary also features scenic cruising near Hubbard Glacier, the Inside Passage and Endicott Arm Fjord. Concluding the legendary voyage, the Noordam is scheduled to return to Seattle on July 5, 2026.
The 1,900-passenger ship will then offer Holland America's Alaska Explorer itinerary, which sails to Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan and Victoria over seven nights.
In early September, the vessel will offer another monthlong legendary voyage: the 27-night Glaciers & Volcanoes cruise.
It also sails roundtrip from Seattle, combining destinations in Alaska and Hawaii, including Anchorage, Sitka, Dutch Harbor, Honolulu, Kahului and Hilo.
Later this year, the Noordam repositions to Australia via a 34-night legendary voyage that will sail from Seattle to Sydney.
The vessel is scheduled to spend the 2026-27 winter season sailing to destinations in the South Pacific from Sydney and Auckland.
