August 2016 Onlookers at the Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade in downtown Seattle watched Holland America Line’s Koningsdam cruising down the street. At 45 feet long and 11 feet tall, the detailed float required 30 employees to guide it through the 2.5-mile route. Holland America Line has been a sponsor and participant of the parade for many years, and employees previously carried an orca balloon to highlight cruises to Alaska.
