Verstraete Travel Offers Escorted 16-day Viking Passage Cruise on Holland America Line

March 28, 2012 - PRLog -- As experts in escorted group travel, Baldwin and Lucy Verstraete have shared many journeys with their clients.  This year's offering is no exception.  The owners of Verstraete Travel & Cruises have selected Holland America's ms Eurodam for an unforgettable cruise which they will be escorting that includes the best of Northern Europe, a transatlantic crossing and North America's eastern seaboard.  

"The Viking Passage Cruise combines a professionally escorted cruise with a spectacular itinerary, relaxing days at sea and Holland America's award-winning service.  We are pleased to offer this winning combination for our clients to give them a memorable cruise experience this summer," says Baldwin Verstraete, owner of Verstraete Travel & Cruises (http://www.verstraetetravel.com).

Departing from Amsterdam on August 29, 2012, the 16-day cruise makes it way to Norway with the first port of call in Stavanger, a colorful town with cobblestone streets.   Onward toward Flam, the ship passes spectacular fjords and makes a stop at this lovely town.  

Scenic cruising past Sognefjord takes the ship to the next port of call, Lerwick, in the Shetland Island with its Bronze and Iron-age ruins and castle.  Reykjavik, Iceland is the next stop on the itinerary with its thermal pools, glaciers and spectacular scenery.     A relaxing day at sea follows as the ship journeys to Greenland with its rugged landscape, fjords and hot springs.

Leaving Greenland, the ms Eurodam passes Julianehabsfjord as it makes it way toward Canada's east coast and St. John's, NF, North America's oldest city.    The last port of call on this fabulous itinerary is Halifax, NS, a beautiful and vibrant city, known for its great natural harbour, Citadel fortress and nearby Peggy's Cove.   On Sept. 14, the ms Eurodam docks in New York City - the final stop on this unforgettable journey.

The ms Eurodam is one of Holland America's Signature-class ships, a mid-sized ship with 11 passenger decks and a new topside Pan-Asian restaurant with incredible panoramic views.  The ship also features an art collection based on the theme, "The Dutch Golden Age - An Inexhaustible Tradition" which highlights works by Dutch masters as well as contemporary artists.    This award-winning cruise line offers elegant fine dining, a multitude of shipboard activities, teak decks and nearly one crew member for every two guests.
