In celebration of Alaska Statehood Day and in anticipation of America’s 250th anniversary, Holland America Line has announced a special collaboration with 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.
According to a company statement, the throw reflects Pendleton’s legacy of craftsmanship, translating American landscapes into a timeless design.
Designed exclusively for Holland America Line, the limited-edition throw will be available for purchase onboard the cruise line’s ships sailing in Alaska in 2026.
“As we mark Alaska Statehood Day and look ahead to America’s 250th anniversary, we are thrilled to bring together American heritage brands to celebrate the shared spirit of ingenuity, honored traditions, and craftsmanship,” said Kacy Cole, Holland America Line’s chief marketing officer. “Pendleton was the perfect brand to partner with on Alaska, having been founded in 1909 and bringing milled textiles to the pioneer days of the great American West.”
Rooted in heritage and authenticity, and inspired by the breathtaking beauty of a Holland America Line Alaska cruise, this heirloom-quality blanket captures the essence of the Last Frontier. Its design unfolds as a striking panorama of rugged peaks, towering forests and vast skies, accented by iconic wildlife — a moose, whale and eagle — beneath the shimmering Northern Lights. Rendered in deep ocean blues and Holland America Line’s signature orange, with touches of gray, yellow, brown and natural neutrals, it reflects the grandeur of Alaska and the shared heritage of two iconic brands.
“This limited-edition throw is a reflection of Pendleton’s legacy of craftsmanship and weaving storied landscapes through our designs,” said Bob Christnacht, EVP of Sales and Marketing at Pendleton. “Our partnership with Holland America Line is a natural fit — rooted in our shared connection to Alaska and a long-standing commitment to honoring place, history and craft.”
