Alaskan cruise options open up

Two cruise operators are this year upping their Alaskan itineraries.

Holland America Line is introducing new 14-day Alaskan Adventurer cruises which will sail roundtrip from Seattle and include a port call at Anchorage for the first time in Holland America Line’s history. Holland will also introduce three off-the-beaten-track wilderness itineraries highlighting the Kenai Peninsula, Denali's backcountry and the Yukon.

In additon, Disney will begin bringing ships to Alaska for the first time in 2010. The seven-night cruise aboard the Disney Wonder begins in Vancouver, Canada and travels up the Inside Passage ending in Juneau. Families will discover glaciers, wildlife, Alaska's gold rush history and more.
