Holland America Line to enhance Denali Lodge
Holland America Line plans to will invest $70 million in a multi-year expansion of its Denali Lodge and Alaska Cruisetours product.
The investment will be used to expand guest capacity and improve facilities at the Denali Lodge.
Work will start in 2025, with additional enhancements taking place in 2026 and 2027.
This year, enhancements to the riverside interpretive trail will take place, with scenic viewpoints, improved on-site wayfinding, refined menu offerings for restaurants and public space improvements for the Cottonwood and Canyon Lodge guest room buildings.
In 2025, work begins on remodeling 48 rooms in the Holland America Denali Lodge, and will see a new coffee shop and a remodeled Karstens Public House with expanded seating.
Construction in 2027 will begin on a new guestroom building with 120 suite and standard rooms as well as a main lodge renovation. This include a new restaurant concept and a new lobby bar.
Beth Bodensteiner, HAL president, said: “It’s truly special that we can bring guests to a lodge at the doorstep of Denali National Park. This investment is a win for Alaska, our guests and Holland America Line.”
Holland America Line’s 2025 and 2026 Cruisetours are available to book, allowing guests to combine an Alaska cruise with a journey into Denali National Park and Canada’s Yukon Territory.
The cruise line owns motorcoaches, railcars and hotels, providing preferential schedules for Cruisetour guests.
Each itinerary includes a scenic ride on the glass-domed McKinley Explorer train.
Select itineraries visit Dawson and ride through the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad from Skagway.
Other select itineraries offer a direct-to-Denali service, taking guests from the ship to their Denali hotel room on the same day.
