We are proud to partner with Holland America Line for this adventure because of its commitment to service and because we know and believe in the quality of its ships, programs and shore excursions. The ms Zaandam is a midsize ship which carries passengers with style and grace - it's large enough to offer a host of exciting amenities, but more personal and intimate than the "floating cities" of other cruise lines. Sailing from east to west provides you the advantage of getting the long, cross-country flight out of the way first, leaving just a short hop home from San Diego at the end of the cruise.

Designed to carry fewer guests while offering greater space, Zaandam is at once elegant and comfortable with a decor inspired by musical themes. While on board, rejuvenate with a spa treatment in the serene Greenhouse Spa & Salon, indulge in a tantalizing meal at a fine dining restaurant, enjoy daily shipboard activities and/or choose from a variety of optional shore excursions. Most of all, we invite you to simply relax. Is that what cruising is all about?

Prices start at $5,370 p.p./dbl. occ., $7,820 single for outside cabins; $4,960 p.p./dbl. occ., $6,890 single for inside staterooms.

Prices include airfare to Miami and return from San Diego, pre-cruise overnight, dinner and sightseeing; the services of a Sports Leisure Tour Director throughout your trip and airport transfers.
