It will be:
7-day Alaskan Explorer aboard Holland America Eurodam
8/24 – 8/31/2019
(Note: It’s next year (2019) and not this year (2018)…

This cruise has an almost identical itinerary (except for Sitka) to our first ever cruise aboard Norwegian Pearl. The reason we decided to do another Alaska cruise was that:

1. We just wanted to do another cruise!
2. It’s a quick 7-day round-trip from Seattle. (Since we live in Seattle area, no flights involved.)
3. We still work, so we can’t take long vacations every year.
4. Glacier Bay was nice enough that we don’t mind seeing it again.
5. There’s another HAL 7-day round-trip from Seattle, which goes to Sawyer Glacier instead of Glacier Bay, but it’s on Oosterdam (sister ship to Westerdam) and we wanted to try a different ship.

It would be interesting to see how things have changed in the cities we’ve visited before (or how much the glaciers have receded…!)

It’s still a looooong time away… Can’t wait!
