LAKE LOUISE This superb holiday takes you to the breathtaking grandeur of the Canadian Rockies and sophisticated Vancouver. With a wonderful cruise aboard Holland America Lines Statendam showing you the staggering beauty of Alaska  a true wilderness of dramatic landscapes and amazing wildlife  this really is a holiday to remember. CRUISE TO ALASKA By far the most dramatic and beautiful region of this vast state is the south-east coastline, known as the Inside Passage, with its myriad islands, channels and inlets. The only way to fully appreciate the natural wonders of this region is by ship. Indeed, there are no roads along this coast. We have chosen Holland America Line as our cruise partners for the second part of this tour. Aboard the Statendam you will glide into remote inlets and bays, call at picturesque and historic waterfront communities, and witness the spectacular birth of icebergs, crashing from the face of shimmering glaciers.
