Creator's Key Takeaways

TWO VOLCANOES IN ONE DAY - and Jerry is absolutely in his element! Watch as we tender ashore in Taormina, Sicily for a HAL excursion up Mount Etna at 6,000 feet - where snow in May, volcanic rock collecting, canoli inside a crater, and a very willing Jill exploring the Sylvestri Craters make for one of the most unforgettable shore excursions of our cruising lives. Then back onboard for dinner before Holland America deliberately sails AROUND Stromboli volcano at sunset so the entire ship can watch live eruptions from the crow's nest.
