Alaska Cruise Tours: Now Is The Time To Buy!

If you have been considering doing an Alaska Cruise Tour then now is the time to buy. Prices on Holland America Cruise Tours are very low. For $1,088 (which includes taxes and fees) you can book a 12-day Holland America Cruise Tour for several dates in June 2010.

We did the Holland America 12-day tour (Tour Number 3) last year on the Volendam and paid slightly more. The reason we really like this tour is the combination of a 3-day cruise, 3 different train rides, a boat ride up the Yukon River, luxury buses and a very well organized trip. We highly recommend this itinerary.
