With a Dutch worldwide exploration theme, the decor of the ms Ryndam features art and artifacts from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Guests aboard this spacious ship encounter elegance at every turn - from a string quartet serenade in the splendid Rotterdam Dining Room to the two-deck Vermeer Show Lounge. At the heart of the ms Ryndam a three-story atrium features a monumental fountain created by sculptor Gilbert Lebigre in Pietrasanta, Italy. And with a gracious and unobtrusive crew, the superior service that is signature Holland America Line is never far away.
Like her sister ships, the ms Ryndam is designed to provide more space for fewer guests than other ships in her class (149 of her staterooms feature private verandahs). The ms Ryndam completed all Signature of Excellence enhancements to public rooms and staterooms in Spring 2005.

Alaska Inside Passage

Sailed out of Vancouver for the Inside Passage. Ship was full, just over 1200 passengers, yep, most over 65... but all seemed to enjoy the cruise.First stop was in Juneau, arrived at 2:00 p.m., we took the tram up to the 1800' level on Mt. Roberts. Viewed the movie about the native indians, etc. Carried our coats, shirt sleeves only, even when we sat in the snow banks. The view to the ship below, and the snow capped mountain ranges is breat takeing. Was able to see the highlights on a walking tour of the city, St. Nicholas Church, the totem at the capitol, and even the Red Dog Saloon. Did not have time to visit other sites, but took the tour to the Salmon Bake. If you go, be sure to have plenty of that sweet sauce on the fish, and go back for more. A very short walk to the small water falls, but is a nice photo op. Skagway was the next stop, and took a bus, there at the docks for $1.00 to the city. Tho a short walk, not much to see on that walk. Numerous "trinket" shops, and all folks friendly. I think I read the population is about 800, and about 700,000 tourists visit each year!. Took the bus back to the ship for lunch. Then boarded the White Pass & Yukon train at 1:30. Climbed up about 2200 feet, and the snow was about 6' deep, but was out side the train (in between cars) to shoot video. Had sleeves rolled up most of the way. Sailed at night to Glacier Bay, fantastic to see the ice calf, and the thunder as it hits the water. Hat, gloves, and something to cover the ears is a must. Ketchikan is the place to shop, numerous stores, within 3 or 4 blocks, and fair prices. Take advantage of discount coupons available in Canada Place while waiting to board ship. Had great weather, no rain, a few clouds. Was able to see, and video quite a few eagles as they flew in this area. Cabin 023 is on the Navigation deck, with full verandah, whirpool tub/shower, king size bed, and were we ever spoiled. Service was excellent, room as well as dining room staff. Natch... food was tops. Cruise director was knowledable and entertaining. Shows in good taste, colorful, and peppy. There was a magician, a banjo player, and a comic... all were most enjoyable. Click on the Alaska folder. Shot over 150 digital, and perhaps two dozen on 35mm. The video runs 3 hours, tho! My wife is already thinking of our next cruise... New England or back to Alaska? Yes we are over 65! It was the first time I have ever walked a mile befor breakfast! Four times around the main deck. Nugh of this, hope everyone will enjoy their cruise as much as we did, our first. |
