For those looking to save a few bucks, it’s tough to go wrong with these. From the Deck Chair will return […]
Click here to continue reading! →It’s Monday, and we’re going to start this last week of June off with a small taste of one of our upcoming new features this week: a tour of Holland America Line’s Zaandam.
Built in 2000 and dedicated by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the Zaandam is the direct sister-ship to the 1999-built Volendam. She’s […]

And in July, the fun starts all over again.
We’re excited to announce we’ll […]

Voyages beginning in January 2012 remain […]
Click here to continue reading! →Coming hot on the heels of some major ship refurbishments is the announcement by German-based Hapag Lloyd Cruises that their MS HANSEATIC has just returned from a nearly two-week refit at the Blohm + Voss shipyard in Hamburg.
With more than 780 individual tasks to accomplish in just 13 days, over 400 shipyard employees […]
