Creator's Key Takeaways
We leave from Seattle and we're going to head to Japan and then circle the islands.
One thing we're thrilled about is the retractable roof because we'll be able to use it on this trip with the cold weather.
We can recommend it though.

Thinking about cruising from the U.S. to Japan instead of flying? In this first episode of our Seattle to Japan cruise vlog, we kick things off with embarkation day in Seattle, a full ship and stateroom tour, and a deep dive into dining—from Dutch tea to Alaska brunch and main dining room favorites. We are aboard the Holland America Westerdam ship for 28 days straight We also share a quick port stop in Juneau, Alaska, including a visit to the iconic Red Dog Saloon and a wander through downtown. The next seven days will be at sea, and with inclement weather on the horizon, we’re leaning into ship life—entertainment, activities, and whatever surprises the Pacific throws our way. Subscribe and follow along as we cruise across the ocean toward Japan! We’d also love your feedback adding to our Westerdam “must do” since we have so many sea days in front of us to get to Japan so please drop your tips and tricks in the comments! 0:00 - Introduction 0:59 - Embarkation 1:19 – Lido Pool 1:45 – Balcony Room tour 4149 3:30 – Library 3:57– Rolling Stone Lounge 4:49 – Galley & Billboard bar 5:59– Theater 6:27 – Pinnacle Bar & Lincoln Ctr 6:48 – Main Dining Room 7:09 – Food 13:00 – Entertainment 13:31 – Juneau 21:15– Wrap A unique "cruise vlog" journey from Seattle to Japan, showcasing the "cruise ship" amenities and scenic views.
