We finally did it - embarked on our first ever cruise. We have done a European River Cruise but this is our first ocean going cruise - and to Alaska! We spend seven glorious nights aboard the Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam in mid June 2024.
We have booked a Verandah Stateroom - room 5181 to catch the gorgeous views of Alaska's Inside Passage, ports and glaciers.
We stop at the following ports:
- Ketchikan
- Juneau
- Skagway
Highlights include
- Goldbelt Tramway
- White Pass Rail Bennett Lake & Yukon Adventure
- Glacier Bay
- College Fjord
The video reviews the cruise from a first timers perspective. It covers all the main decks, best spots, food and dining, entertainment, cabin tour, ports visited, excursions and wildlife we see on board.
What an unforgettable trip!
