YouTube Video Description

In our last episode of our Holland America Oosterdam Malta and Aegean Jewels Cruise, we arrive in Turkey. We go on a very interesting excursion to Ephesus, St John Basilica, and Virgin Mary's House in the blazing heat! We do some cruise ship spotting in Kusadasi, enjoy the wrap around promenade on Oosterdam, experience the varying types of entertainment on board, and try something we have never done before on a cruise! This was our 3rd cruise on Holland America. Will it be our last? 🌎 We cruised on Oosterdam in September 2024. Disclaimer: - We were guests of Holland America Cruise Line.
