This summer, if you're on a Holland America cruise ship leaving from Seattle, you have an opportunity to see an onboard presentation from one of our rangers. On embarkation day, Klondike Gold Rush park rangers will be talking at 1:30 pm on the Westerdam, Amsterdam, and Oosterdam. Check your ship's daily activity sheet for the location for the 30 minute long program about the Klondike Gold Rush, Seattle history, and Inside Passage.
