Seward Holland America Line Noordam Cruise Reviews

Have wanted to do an Alaskan cruise for years and this was just the right time for us to do the cruise. From planning the cruise with our travel agent, to embarkation, after the "land portion", to debarkation everything was well planned and taken care of. No worries and no stress made for an awesome vacation. Stateroom was just the right size for the 2 of us and what can one say about the food ...

Arrived in Anchorage on time and met at the airport by HAL staff and, after collecting checked bags, promptly ...
