Most of our cruises have been 21 to 28 days but this was a 56 day adventure in the South Pacific. The itinerary was great although a couple of ports missed due to weather and the laid back South Pacific lifestyle! The crew so friendly, hard working, accommodating and caring. . Cruise director was outstanding as was the captain . After 56 days we were one big happy family. It is an older ...

We had an absolutely amazing, enriching and unforgettable time on the Nieuw Amsterdam. Everything was perfect; the staff with their caring attitude and always smiling faces- Riben, our cabin steward was wonderful! Megan & Meso at Photography, all the cleaners (everything was spotless, which is incredible given that 2000 passengers were onboard!) and Lido staff - how they manage to keep on smiling ...

I had traveled to Alaska with Holland America 10 years before. This time it was my wife, sister-in-law and myself. Fall can be tricky with weather going to Alaska, but we only had rain the first day in Juneau. By the next day the weather was mostly sunny, and our trip on the Yukon Pacific Railway shore excursion was the highlight of our trip. This is a MUST do if you take this trip. We hit ...

I have been on HAL ships 6 prior times and always impressed with the quiet elegance. This trip, I took an elderly gentleman fiend who wanted to go to Alaska, could well afford to go, but could not do it on his own. God must have been watching over us, because the views form the ship at the John Hopkins Glacier were amazing. The Park Service naturalist who boarded that day to narrate the ...

This was our 3rd time going to Alaska but our first time continuing on to Denali. We absolutely Love Alaska! and there is no better way than to travel than with Holland America! We sailed up several fjords to Harvard Glacier and many other glaciers (but I forgot all their names). The seas were very calm the weather was clear (luckily) and we even saw a pod of whales off our balcony! The staff ...

This is the second time we've cruised with Holland America (The first being in 2014 on the Niew Amsterdam) as a large family group. We had 22 family members on board this time around and 6 kids ranging from 3 to 11. We really enjoyed our cruise and thought the crew went above and beyond for us as a family. They always acknowledged our kids and did little things to make their experience extra ...

We wanted something different and sailing on The Koningsdam certainly filled the bill. From joining the ship in Vancouver, to disembarking there the following week, we had the most relaxing but fun filled time My stateroom on the sundeck was exceptional, as was the service from Ho Ho and Jo Jo,my stewards and Ana in laundry I ate breakfast mainly in The Lido or at the poolside bar , ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

This cruise was wonderful in every aspect. The food and service were exceptional in the Lido market, the scenery was magnificent, seeing whales and sea otters magical, and there were places to find early in the morning to be alone and take photos of the sunrise. We went on the Tracy Arm inlet excursion and it was breathtaking. We also took the train out of Skagway which I highly recommend. The ...

We arrived an hour before our set 12PM check in time, but since we were in a Neptune Suite, I knew we had anytime priority access. Access to pier 91/92 was easy, not much traffic considering both Westerdam and the Discovery Princess were disembarking/embarking at the same time. Short line to drop off luggage, then made our way through security and then a super short face recognition check-in ...

My wife and I had scheduled a New Zealand cruise twice but the covid hoax messed it over two years in a row. As a result, we returned to Alaska for the third time. It was actually preceeded by a fantastic Tripple Denali land tour. The entire experience was great. Uniglobe Ohio Valley Travel put together the perfect vacation package. If you can, do the glacier helicopter landing. Being on ...
