Everything and More   1 Alaskan Inside Passage , SA, Australia, Jun 2024
This was my first cruise and so pleased we were on a smaller ship and not a floating hotel. I managed the very slight roll well. The Zaandam was an older ship but more than made up for it with service, variety of shore excursions and itinerary. It still had everything you need for a relaxing and entertaining holiday. It was more than I imagined with read more glaciers 'calving', bus / train trip to the Yukon and a pub crawl in an old gold mining town. Food was good, and plentiful. I have a special diet and whether it was in the dining room, Lido Deck buffet or specialty dining, I always had a choice. I can certainly recommend Holland America.
Yukon + Denali Cruise Tour 4 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2024
The highlight for us was the land tour, especially Denali and Dawson City. The accommodation and transport was good and the excursions were great. We enjoyed going on the cruise for 4 days after the land portion. Holland America was an excellent cruise - the food, accommodation and staff were great.
Excellent Ports of call - Eastern Canada and New England 3 , WA, Australia, Aug 2023
Holland America were really good to travel with, we chose a smaller ship and enjoyed every minute. The passengers were friendly and the crew were excellent, the cabin neat and clean. We visited Boston, Portland, St John, Halifax, Cornerbrook, Prince Edward Island, Sagqueny, Qubec and Montreal, all great ports of call. Would highly recommend this trip.
