This collaboration provides travelers with the tools to capture the stunning landscapes, glaciers, and wildlife of Alaska, all while benefiting from expert photography guidance to ensure every moment is preserved in vivid detail.
Capture Alaska Through Your Lens” Contest: Your Personal Alaskan Adventure
At the heart of this partnership is the “Capture Alaska Through Your Lens” photo contest, inviting guests on 2025 Alaska cruises to showcase their personal perspective of the region’s natural beauty. Travelers will have the opportunity to capture Alaska’s majestic glaciers, abundant wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes, sharing their favorite images for a chance to win exclusive prizes. This contest aims to inspire guests to connect with the beauty of Alaska and document their journey in their own unique way.
To enter, participants can upload their photos on social media using the hashtags #AlphaHALcruise and #Sweepstakes or visit the Sony Alpha Universe website. The grand prize features an extraordinary Holland America Line Alaska cruise for two, complemented by a Sony Alpha 7R V camera and a pair of high-end G Master II lenses, providing winners with the tools to capture the continued beauty of Alaska and beyond, long after their voyage ends.
Onboard Photography Workshops: Learn, Create, and Capture
Beyond the contest, this partnership offers guests an exceptional opportunity to refine their photography skills onboard.

These pop-up workshops, led by professional photographers, will help guests hone their skills, learning how to capture Alaska’s awe-inspiring glaciers, stunning coastlines, and rich wildlife using Sony’s cutting-edge equipment.
Sony’s Creators’ Cloud will be available for guests, enabling them to instantly transfer photos to their smartphones for easy sharing with friends and family. For those unable to attend the live workshops, a condensed version will be available on stateroom TVs throughout the fleet, ensuring that every guest can benefit from expert advice and photography tips, regardless of when they sail.
