Plenty of cruise lines offer ships, expeditions, routes and experiences that cater to family travel. This year, Holland America celebrates 75 years of exploring Alaska by offering special rates for kids.

 

On select Alaskan itineraries, travelers can enjoy $75 kids’ cruise rates in 2022. Families can explore the state’s unparalleled natural beauty, stunning glaciers and majestic wildlife. The kids can learn more about the culture of the Alaskan people while sailing the seas on the best cruise line in Alaska.

 

Travelers interested in this deal should book through March 31, for travel taking place throughout the rest of 2022.

 

Some of the selected itineraries include:

 

  • 7-Day Alaskan Explorer: Hop aboard a family adventure with stops in Ketchikan and Juneau. Families can even catch a glimpse of a whale at Glacier Bay National Park.
  • 7-Day Glacier Discovery: In the northern region of Whitter, travelers will get an unforgettable look at Hubbard Glacier, North America’s largest tidewater glacier.
  • 7-Day Alaskan Inside Explorer: On this trip, guests will stay closer to the mainland to learn about Skagway’s Gold Rush history, as well as enjoy the freshly caught fish in Juneau while cruising around Glacier Bay National Park.
