From Iceland’s fjords to Alaska’s glaciers, this exceptional 46-night voyage on board two Holland America Line ships sails from Amsterdam to Tokyo.

Begin with a hotel stay in Amsterdam before embarking the first of two Holland America Line ships for a voyage spanning three continents. Sailing north, towering fjords and cascading waterfalls define Iceland, while scenic cruising through Prince Christian Sound reveals Greenland’s icebergs and glaciers at their most humbling, a rare route few holidays can match.

After a further stay in Seattle, board your second ship and trace Alaska’s wilderness coastline, where snow-capped peaks frame ports such as Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan. Crossing the International Date Line, your voyage then carries you across the Pacific towards Japan. Calling at Kushiro, Aomori and Tokyo, Japan’s blend of tradition and modern energy brings this remarkable Amsterdam to Tokyo journey to its fitting finale.
