Creator's Key Takeaways

we recently sailed aboard Holland America's impressive Conan Stam for an unforgettable seven eight Cruise of Alaska's Inside passage

the Vista Suites are only slightly larger than the ship's standard balcony cabins which Holland America calls Veranda staterooms

we never heard any noise from the restaurant below and it actually proved to be a very convenient location

this is an incredibly thoughtfully designed space there's loads of storage

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider the Vista Suite layout if you prefer more open space and a bed against the window.
Take advantage of the ample storage options in the cabin for your belongings.
If you want a significant upgrade, look at Holland America's signatory Suite level.

YouTube Video Description

In May 2023, we set sail on Holland America Line’s Pinnacle Class ship the Koningsdam for a 7-night cruise of Alaska's Inside Passage. We were booked into an aft-view Vista Suite, which provided us with gorgeous views of the stunning Alaskan scenery. But is the Vista Suite worth the extra money over a standard Verandah balcony cabin? For this tour, we’ll take you around the cabin, including the bathroom and aft-facing balcony. And we'll highlight the impressive storage options this cabin has to offer. The Vista Suites are very similar to Holland America's Verandah Staterooms, though they will cost on average $400 more for a 7-night cruise. Is this "suite" worth the extra cost? Watch to find out!
