Alaska Cruise on Holland America Koningsdam Cruise Ship
Cruising to Alaska has always been on our bucket list and we were so happy to tick this off our list. To date we have done 50 cruises and this cruise sits definitely in the top 3!
Our trip was booked through our travel agent Dan with Titan Travel and was called the Deluxe Alaskan Voyage and The Rocky Mountaineer. This escorted tour started in Calgary in Canada and for the first 3 nights we spent our time in Banff exploring the beautiful national park and catching up with one of our lovely Patreons Kevan! We then spent 2 nights in Jasper National Park before embarking the Rocky Mountaineer.
