Have you wanted to take a Grand World Voyage but haven’t had the opportunity? Or even just a cruise to Alaska or Australia?

“Game of Thrones” ended its season yesterday, and fans of the show are sure to go into withdrawal at any moment. But Thronies have a new reason to celebrate!

Holland America Line has announced the transfer of ms Ryndam and ms Statendam to its sister company P&O Cruises in Australia.

Today is Earth Day, and it’s a day to work toward saving — and celebrating — the environment. Holland America Line is a company that strives for environmental excellence both ashore and onboard everyday through a variety of initiatives.

From a sunset in the Med and the fjords of Norway to the glaciers of Alaska and lush landscapes of the South Pacific, the world is full of beautiful scenery.

If you thought Ireland’s landscape was as green as it gets, pack your bags for a cruise to New Zealand and see why this beautiful island country should earn the name Emerald Isle as well.

Since departing the South Pacific, ms Amsterdam has sailed a westerly course toward Australia. Here is a recap of Captain Mercer’s blog posts. You can read them in their entirety on his blog, www.captainjonathan.com.
