Alaska & the Yukon - Insight Cruises

Kluane National Park
Canada’s crown jewel.
Visit part of the Great Land few ever see. Kluane may be far
off the beaten track, but it’s a must for adventurous travelers.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site encompasses towering
Mt. Logan, less than 800 feet shy of Mt. McKinley’s height, and
five of the seven next-tallest peaks in North America. It’s blessed
with magnificent wilderness and diverse and abundant wildlife.
And we show it to you like no one else can, with a customized
program of guided hikes we’ve partnered with Parks Canada
to provide just for you. You will also enjoy special presentations
that reveal why Kluane just shouldn’t be missed.
This rare and unique travel experience is designed especially for
Holland America guests with a wide array of activities — mild to
wild. You’re sure to find your perfect adventure. Break out your
hiking boots on the challenging ascent to King’s Throne. Test your
mettle in class III and IV rapids on the famed Tatshenshini River.
Stretch your horizons on a flightseeing trip over permanent
icefields. Enjoy a tranquil day of lake fishing or a scenic stroll
on the Rock Glacier Trail.
