In a Sea of Sparkle, Effy Jewelry Shines Brighter

Exciting preparations are underway for Effy’s epic jewelry cruise to Alaska in August 2024, showcasing the largest collection ever at sea. Join us for the 7-day sailing adventure, where the sparkling beauty of the gems onboard will rival that of the icy-blue glaciers you can see from your stateroom balcony. In a first for both jewelry and cruising, Effy has chartered an entire Holland America ship for this extraordinary week-long sailing vacation. 

The Alaska glaciers you'll see from the Holland America cruise ship rival the Effy Jewelry onboard.

In previous postings, we’ve detailed the cruise comforts of everything you’ll find onboard the Westerdam — including spacious suites, a large menu of dining options, and pickleball at sea — as well as all the fun things to do in Alaska ports of call.

Here is where we highlight the star of our sailing: the jewelry.

A Jewel in the Crown of Cruise Vacations

Think the Alaskan glaciers are impressive? Wait until you see the opulence Effy will showcase on this high-end jewelry cruise to Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, and Tracy Arm Fjord. The Seattle-to-Alaska voyage is set to spotlight the largest jewelry collection ever presented at sea. Guests will have rare, privileged access to pieces that are not only stunning in their craftsmanship, but monumental in their size. More than just accessories, these are wearable works of art with museum-grade carat weights.


With millions of dollars of jewelry onboard this cruise, Effy is planning a week-long itinerary to spotlight it all, packed with shopping parties and try-on events where you can drench yourself in diamonds. Slip on a $5 million ring for size. Sample the 15-carat sapphire necklace. Mark the memory of this cruise vacation with a priceless princess cut. 


Exclusivity, Only Onboard

In a celebration of exclusivity, your 7-day Alaska cruise will feature a collection designed just for this voyage, beyond anything available in an Effy boutique or online.
