Onboard Experience

Well suited to navigating Alaska's coastal waters, Holland America Line's Nieuw Amsterdam offers all the comforts of a refined floating resort. From the moment you step aboard, you'll feel welcomed and at home – pampered by a friendly staff that embodies true hospitality. A typical day on your Tauck Alaska cruise aboard Nieuw Amsterdam begins after a restful night on the signature Mariner's Dream™ bed with plush Euro-Top mattress, ensuring you awaken refreshed and rejuvenated. Start your morning as you prefer – whether it's a quick bite at the Lido Market or a leisurely breakfast in the elegant Dining Room, where a gracious wait staff caters to your every need. Your day may include exclusive Tauck excursions ashore – perhaps exploring a historic Gold Rush town, riding a vintage railway through the wilderness, or rafting through a bald eagle preserve. After a delightful lunch onboard, relax during an afternoon sail past glacial islands, keeping watch for orcas, humpbacks, seals, and seabirds. Alternatively, invigorate yourself in the fitness center, indulge in a soothing treatment at the Greenhouse Spa & Salon, or unwind by the Sea View Pool. As evening falls, Nieuw Amsterdam tempts you with a range of fine dining options offering tantalizing cuisine – from the Pinnacle Grill for steak to Tamarind for Pan-Asian delicacies. Later, try your luck in the casino, enjoy live music at B.B. King's Blues Club, or take in a show at the theater. And that's just one typical day's sail in Alaska with Tauck aboard Nieuw Amsterdam!
