One was 14 days round-trip Seattle, stopping at some less-frequented ports like Sitka, Kodiak, and Homer. And it did stop in downtown Anchorage - contrary to previous posts there is a cruise port there. It was great to walk into town and do some sightseeing.

Homer was my favorite port - some of the crab boats from the Deadliest Catch tv show are in Homer. I went sea kayaking and it was really special.

Our 7-day itinerary was Ketchikan, Juneau and Haines, which is a quiet, rugged town near Skagway.
I really like that Holland goes to ports that are less crowded and less touristy.
Give Holland America a look for sure!
