Our Alaska cruise is like a moving picture postcard. You’ll experience the splendor of the waterfalls, rainforests and unique wildlife. Daily excursions will allow you to explore the magnificence of the Pacific Northwest–each port teeming with its own unique charm, history and beauty.
As a special treat, we intentionally planned the cruise to take us over the Fourth of July holiday, so we can celebrate together in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
The Intentional Living® Cruise is a vacation intended for spiritual renewal and for building lifelong memories and friendships. While at sea, you'll enjoy times of worship and teaching on how the power of living intentionally can bring hope, freedom and joy each day and during each season of life. Intentional Living in Christ breathes life into good intentions for God’s glory in marriage, finances, work and families. Your mind will be renewed and your heart refreshed by our time together in spectacular Alaska.
Join Donna and me aboard Holland America’s first Vista-class cruise ship, the MS Oosterdam. Enjoy newly renovated suites, exquisite dining and dynamic entertainment. Get away to get close to God. The wonder of God’s glorious creation, outstanding experiences, and Christian fellowship awaits you on our Intentional Living Cruise. There’s limited cabin availability, so reserve yours today.

America's Last Frontier
This is a land where ancient glaciers drop house-sized chunks of ice into the sea with a roar, where grizzlies fish for spawning salmon, where the lush green canopy of trees is offset by distant snowy mountains and where the word “majestic” is hardly enough to describe what you see. Nowhere else in North America is the scenery so spectacular and God’s creative wonder so vivid. From Juneau to Ketchikan, from caribou to king salmon, Alaska is the perfect place to reconnect with your Creator.
North American Animals
Have your camera ready as moose and bears wander through meadows and streams, whales burst from the ocean’s surface and eagles fly overhead.
Calving Glaciers
Watch in amazement as columns and shards of glacial ice shear off and splash into the ocean.
Towns on the Edge of the World
Explore the unique personality and learn the culture of cities and towns living on the border of the Alaskan wilderness.
