Holland America Line and Pendleton Woolen Mills Collaborate on Exclusive Blanket Inspired by Alaska for America's 250th

In celebration of Alaska Statehood Day and in anticipation of America's 250th anniversary, Holland America Line announces a special collaboration with heritage Pacific Northwest lifestyle brand Pendleton Woolen Mills: a custom-designed, numbered, Alaska-themed throw blanket inspired by the spirit and landscapes of the Great Land.

The Collaboration
- Holland America Line partnered with Pendleton Woolen Mills, a heritage Pacific Northwest lifestyle brand, to create a limited-edition Alaska-themed throw blanket.
- The blanket is custom-designed, numbered, and exclusive to Holland America Line ships sailing in Alaska during 2026.
- It celebrates both Alaska Statehood Day and the upcoming America’s 250th anniversary.

Design & Inspiration
- Inspired by the spirit and landscapes of Alaska, the blanket features:
- Rugged peaks, towering forests, vast skies
- Iconic wildlife: moose, whale, eagle
- The shimmering Northern Lights
- Color palette: deep ocean blues, Holland America Line’s signature orange, plus touches of gray, yellow, brown, and natural neutrals.
- Pendleton’s philosophy of “Heritage You Can Hold” is reflected in the heirloom-quality craftsmanship.

Heritage & Storytelling
- Pendleton, founded in 1863, is known for weaving iconic designs in its Oregon and Washington mills.
- Holland America Line has been exploring Alaska since 1947, longer than Alaska has been a state.

America’s 250th Celebration

- A 28-day Pan Am® 100th Anniversary Legendary Voyage in 2027, retracing historic Clipper routes.
