Alaska Cruises Are Changing… And No One Is Talking About This

One of the most popular glacier destinations in Alaska may be disappearing from cruise itineraries… and almost no one is talking about it. In this video, I break down why Holland America Line has cancelled all visits to Tracy Arm Fjord, one of the most iconic scenic cruising locations in Southeast Alaska. This decision comes after reports of unstable conditions, landslide concerns, and even evidence of a tsunami caused by a rockslide inside the fjord. But here’s where it gets bigger. Holland America is owned by Carnival Corporation. That means this isn’t just one cruise line making a small itinerary change… it could signal a larger shift across Carnival-owned brands like Princess Cruises and Carnival Cruise Line. So the real question is: If one cruise line has already pulled out of Tracy Arm Fjord… how long before others follow? In this video, we cover: * What happened in Tracy Arm Fjord * The landslide and tsunami risk explained * Why Holland America cancelled all visits * What this means for Alaska cruise itineraries * Which cruise lines could be next to change their routes If you’re planning an Alaska cruise in 2026 or beyond, this is something you’ll want to understand before you book. --- 🚢 SEARCH & BOOK ALASKA CRUISES (NO FORMS, NO CALLS): 👉 https://www.midshipscruise.com Browse real prices, compare ships, and book your cruise instantly through my travel partners at Cruises It. 📍 About Tracy Arm Fjord Tracy Arm Fjord is located about 45 miles south of Juneau, Alaska, inside the Tongass National Forest. It’s known for its towering granite cliffs, floating icebergs, and the stunning North and South Sawyer Glaciers. For years, it’s been a highlight of many Alaska cruise itineraries. However, recent geological instability in the area has raised concerns about landslides and localized tsunami risks, leading to major itinerary changes. --- ⚠️ Alaska Cruises Are Changing Alaska is one of the most dynamic cruise destinations in the world. Glaciers are retreating, landscapes are shifting, and cruise routes are constantly evolving based on safety and environmental conditions. While there are still incredible glacier experiences like Glacier Bay, Hubbard Glacier, and Endicott Arm, this situation raises an important question about the future of Tracy Arm Fjord. --- 👍 If you found this helpful: Like the video, subscribe for more cruise insights, and drop a comment with your thoughts.
