Cruise Line Duo Pledges $175K to Rebuild Alaskan Veterans’ Facility

  • April 21, 2026
Princess Yakutat Bay

Princess Cruises and Holland America Line are joining forces to provide $175,000 in 2026 to help rebuild an American Legion Post in Ketchikan, Alaska.

After more than 85 years at the same location, the Joseph T. Craig, Post 3 building was destroyed by arson in September 2023, according to a statement.

The organization provides support to Ketchikan’s veterans, their families and the broader community.

“At Princess Cruises, we are deeply connected to the communities we visit, and Ketchikan holds a special place in our Alaska program,” said Gus Antorcha, Princess Cruises president.

“We are honored to support the rebuilding of American Legion Post 3 and to stand alongside the veterans and families who rely on it as a place of connection, remembrance, and service.”

The $100,000 portion will come from the Princess Foundation, while Holland America has committed $75,000, including contributions from its On Deck for a Cause program in Alaska.

Both brands have also pledged to continue supporting the rebuild of the facility in the years ahead, with additional details to be announced in 2027.

“American Legion Post 3 represents resilience, service, and community—values that deeply align with Holland America Line,” said Beth Bodensteiner, Holland America president.

“We are proud along with our guests to support the rebuilding of this historic post and to help ensure it remains a place of connection and support for Ketchikan’s veterans and families for generations to come.”
