The McKinley Chalet near Denali National Park will soon be under new ownership. On Wednesday, Holland America announced that they were purchasing the property from Aramark. Details of the deal are still being negotiated.
Also, in the same press release, Holland America Cruises highlighted their new Land-Plus-Sea packages that focus more on “marquee” destination, and less on overland travel. Holland America spokesman Erik Elvejord says that the cruise line is also doing away with its “Expedition Tours.” The Expedition Tours are Holland’s land tours that include Talkeetna as a stop.
