$4999—21-nt spring fly-stay-cruise to Tokyo, Alaska & Canada

Few ocean journeys rival the scenic drama of this Japan–Alaska–Canada trans-Pacific sailing. From remote Pacific horizons to glacier-carved landscapes, this is one of the world’s most breathtaking routes. 

This 21-night fly-stay-cruise blends big-city culture, remote wilderness and an unforgettable ocean crossing. Your holiday begins with three nights in Tokyo, giving you time to enjoy spring warmth and vibrant neighbourhoods. (A Mount Fuji tour is included for Balcony and Suite guests.) April’s clear skies make it the perfect time to explore Japan before boarding Holland America’s Westerdam. Your first stop is Kushiro, gateway to northern Japan’s wild wetlands and distinctive birdlife. Then cross the Pacific toward Alaska, calling at Kodiak, Sitka and Ketchikan. Here you’ll encounter dramatic forests, wildlife and rich Indigenous heritage. Your journey continues into Canada via Prince Rupert, a calm coastal town framed by forested hills. From there, you sail the Inside Passage, famed for serene straits and forested cliffs. Snow-tipped peaks rise beside the water along this iconic route. With flights, transfers and your Tokyo stay included, simply sit back and watch beauty unfold daily.
