Holland America Inside Passage Hubbard Glacier from Seattle

With a unique order of events, this Inside Passage with Hubbard Glacier route fits in plentiful time to enjoy the onboard cruise experience while still featuring four distinct ports of call. Along the way, the route visits Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, and Victoria. The Sitka port is a special highlight, as fewer cruises stop in this historically significant town. The cruise also spends several daytime hours making its way through the Inside Passage, and one exceptional day visiting Hubbard Glacier. Holland America Line offers this roundtrip itinerary from their homeport of Seattle.
