YouTube Video Description↓

This is our last day at sea aboard Holland America's Koningsdam. We are on our way back from Alaska after visiting Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Glacier Bay National Park. After you watch our last day at sea, we will tell you our thoughts about the Alaskan Cruise and give you our rating overall about the cruise. The Koningsdam is a stunning cruise ship operated by Holland America Line. It's the first in the Pinnacle class of ships and offers a mix of classic and modern elements. With a capacity for around 2,600 passengers, it features various dining options, entertainment venues, luxurious accommodations, and activities suitable for a wide range of interests. The ship has a reputation for its elegant design, exceptional service, and a variety of experiences, including music venues, culinary arts centers, and spa facilities. If you're planning a trip on the Koningsdam, you're in for a treat! Holland America Line (HAL) is a cruise line renowned for its premium cruising experience. With a rich history spanning over 145 years, it's known for its classic elegance, exceptional service, and a focus on destinations and enrichment. HAL offers a wide array of cruise itineraries, ranging from shorter trips to extended global voyages. The line is acclaimed for its spacious and well-appointed ships, featuring diverse onboard activities, entertainment, and dining options. It's a popular choice for travelers who appreciate a more traditional cruising experience with a touch of modern luxury. Holland America cruises often focus on enrichment programs, including culinary experiences, art workshops, and cultural activities, along with high-quality entertainment, making it an attractive choice for travelers seeking a refined and comfortable cruising experience. Alaskan cruises are incredibly popular and offer a unique way to explore the stunning and diverse landscapes of Alaska. These cruises typically navigate the Inside Passage, a coastal route known for its breathtaking scenery, including fjords, glaciers, and lush forests. Passengers on Alaskan cruises often get the chance to witness incredible wildlife, such as whales, eagles, bears, and various marine life. Ports of call might include places like Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, and sometimes stops in Canadian cities like Victoria or Vancouver. Shore excursions are a big part of these cruises, offering activities like whale watching, hiking, dog sledding on glaciers, or visiting indigenous cultural centers. The best time for Alaskan cruises is typically during the summer months when the weather is milder, and the wildlife is more active. The experience on an Alaskan cruise is not just about the destinations; the onboard experience, with lectures, entertainment, and dining, often complements the journey by enriching the understanding of the region's culture, wildlife, and history. #travelvlog #cruisereview #hollandamerica #koningsdam #alaskacruise #alaska πŸŽ‰πŸŽˆπŸ₯³Please subscribe to our channel to stay in touch so we can share what we are up to!πŸ•πŸŒ‹πŸŒ… https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYptpWdN5KNCq5pwdvGNrhQ?sub_confirmation=1 Facebook: Just Ramblin Around Instagram: @justrambinaround Email: jrawithronandjodi@gmail.com https://share.epidemicsound.com/cyumoq ****About**** We are Ron and Jodi. We have been together since 1992 and have been traveling and exploring around the Pacific Northwest and beyond the entire time. Please join us as we go rambling around our next 30 years while living our β€œwork hard, play hard” philosophy. We will try to show as much of our adventures, tips and reviews as we can through our journey practicing for retirement. This channel will be about adventures big and small, weekend getaways traveling in the motorhome exploring our region to flying away on extended vacations discovering new destinations. We hope to inspire others to make time to travel, explore and discover what our land has to offer. We love to check out breweries, restaurants, local hikes in the area as well as traveling away to see what other destinations have to show us. We take our dogs as much as we can, but some areas aren't made for our furry kiddos. Not every video will be an award winner but all we need is someone to laugh and enjoy the ride along the way.
