If you are an adventurer like myself, and a cruise to Alaska is on your bucket list, now is a great time to begin researching itinerary options. I\u2019ve always enjoyed my stays on Holland America Line\u2019s ships which is why the cruise line is one of my top choices when it comes to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/cruisetour\/holland-america-cruisetour.php\" target=\"_blank\">Alaskan cruise<\/a> get-away. Plus, its recent Denali Square development located at the entrance of Denali National Park gives it an edge over other options.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaska-cruises-Denali.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><picture data-avif-picture=\"1\"><source type=\"image\/avif\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaska-cruises-Denali-200x200.avif 200w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaska-cruises-Denali-400x163.avif 400w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaska-cruises-Denali-400x163@2x.avif 800w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaska-cruises-Denali-1024x417.avif 1024w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaska-cruises-Denali-1024x417@2x.avif 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><img data-avif-wrap=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-51941 size-large\" title=\"Alaskan Cruise\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaska-cruises-Denali-1024x417.jpg\" alt=\"Alaskan Cruise\" width=\"1024\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaska-cruises-Denali-1024x417.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaska-cruises-Denali-400x163.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaska-cruises-Denali.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/picture><\/a>Right now, you can choose from a variety of Alaskan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/cruisetour\/holland-america-cruisetour.php\">Land &amp; Sea Journey itineraries<\/a> that include a 2- or 3- day stop at Denali National Park. During this stay-over, you can explore Denali Square, which is situated on the cruise line\u2019s 60-acre McKinley Chalet Resort property. Here, at the gates of the Denali National Park, you can rest, shop, dine, and even catch a dinner theater show. The development has been designed to literally offer everyone something to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I am excited to visit Holland America\u2019s new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollandamerica.com\/pageByName\/Resp.action?requestPage=Basecamp\">Denali Basecamp <\/a>because I love to be surrounded by nature and away from massive crowds. Denali Square includes numerous walking paths that show off the area\u2019s mountainous landscapes and offers great views of the Nenana River. If you too are a nature-buff, maybe I will catch you on one of the trails!<\/p>\n<p>If cuddling up near a fire interests you more, the opportunity awaits with several cozy fire circles that offer a way to enjoy the outdoor scenery with your loved ones but still stay warm on a cool Alaskan night. During the day, catch a demonstration, musical performance or lecture from a park ranger at the Denali Square amphitheater. Then, if you are a shopping fan like myself, you won\u2019t want to miss the Artists-in-Residence Cabin. It\u2019s no secret that artists have been visiting Alaska\u2019s national parks for inspiration for ages. Now, at the in-residence cabin, you can actually drop in and watch the artists live as they create Denali-inspired treasures. Talk about bringing home one-of-a-kind souvenirs!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaskan-cruises-Denali-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><picture data-avif-picture=\"1\"><source type=\"image\/avif\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaskan-cruises-Denali-2-200x200.avif 200w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaskan-cruises-Denali-2-400x216.avif 400w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaskan-cruises-Denali-2.avif 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><img data-avif-wrap=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-51950 size-full alignleft\" title=\"Alaskan cruises - Denali\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaskan-cruises-Denali-2.jpg\" alt=\"Alaskan cruises - Denali\" width=\"800\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaskan-cruises-Denali-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Alaskan-cruises-Denali-2-400x216.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/picture><\/a>Another stop I can\u2019t wait to check out on my upcoming cruise to Alaska is the Gold Nugget Saloon.
