Richard
Meadows, Holland America Line's executive vice
president, marketing, sales and guest programs. "Cruises are an
incredible value and now families can make their vacation dollar go

With families spending time together during summer break and
multigenerational travel increasing in popularity, guests looking
for a family-friendly vacation can book a cruise to Alaska,
Europe or Canada/New

These idyllic regions offer memorable experiences for the whole
family with a variety of shore excursion adventures and cultural
encounters to make it an exciting and educational holiday.
Travelers looking for an extended trip beyond their Holland
America Line cruise can take advantage of the Alaska Land+Sea
Journeys that combine a Holland America Line cruise with an
overland tour of Alaska and the Yukon. By
adding extra vacation days on land, travelers will have more time
to explore a region that is abundantly rich in flora and fauna. In
summer 2014, the line will have seven ships sailing a variety of
Alaska itineraries as well as 12
Land+Sea Journeys that combine a Holland America Line cruise with
in-depth overland tours to the Yukon and
Denali National
Park.
In Canada and New England, ms
Maasdam and ms Veendam cruise this beautiful region
throughout the summer. Guests can witness the rugged cliffs, scenic
villages and migrating whales of Saguenay Fjord, enjoy scenic
cruising on the St. Lawrence River, and marvel at the wild beauty
of Acadia
National Park. For the fall foliage period, ms
Eurodam joins the two ships sailing between New York and
Quebec on four cruises.
For the summer Europe season, seven Holland America
Line ships sail unique itineraries that visit northern Europe and
the Mediterranean. Each itinerary is filled with opportunities to
experience some of the most historic and popular sites in the
world. From "The Little Mermaid" in Copenhagen,
Denmark, and the grand Hermitage Museum in
St. Petersburg,
Russia, to the windmills of Mykonos, Greece, and
canals of Venice, Italy, guests are sure to enjoy
walking through history while making unforgettable family
memories.
