In the Winter of 2007, my wife and I came upon the idea of taking an around the world cruise. Our reasoning: most importantly, we were both in good health and were not limited physically from enjoying all the experiences such a trip could provide; we were both retired and could reasonably afford such a trip if we were prudent in selecting among all of the add-on options. We had taken multiple Caribbean cruises over the years and were "ship ready" and we had great curiosity about the numerous variances in world cultures as well as topographies. We decided upon a Holland America cruise upon the flag ship Amsterdam. The route was a sleep friendly west to east, leaving and arriving from Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Our cruise de-parted on January 4, 2008 and arrived back at Ft. Lauderdale on April 27, 2008 -- a total of 113 days, covering 35,936 nautical miles and stops at 41 ports. An itinerary of our cruise is included as an appendix. As we concluded the arrangements for our cruise, we promised our friends and relatives to send regular emails of our adventures. We gathered information from various sources to compose our emails as the cruise progressed. The normal course of accumulating historical facts and descriptions of current culture and local customs were gained in advance from highly educated speakers brought aboard ship prior to each disembarkment. Typically, these speakers were natives of the countries or environments they described. We closely followed and took copious notes of these presentations, delivered in the ship's auditorium. A second source of information along a broad spectrum of topics were the native guides assigned to our groups on shore excursions, be they by foot, bus or water craft. Without excep-tion, the local guides were invaluable in presenting the realities of their countries, environments and life styles. Lastly, each of our shore excursions produced vivid and unique impressions of our environments that would be in addition to, and sometimes counter, to our on board presenters and our shore guides. Little did we know that our collection of emails and photos would later become chapters in a book. Our advice to our readers -- it is better to experience it live than read about it. Should you decide to take such an around the world cruise we wish you Bon Voyage. Jim & Connie Cameron

More than 150 years ago in the port city of Rotterdam a group of business companions and steamship pioneers had a bold vision: to establish a steamship connection that would be ?a bridge across the Atlantic Ocean? between The Netherlands and North America. They founded a company with two steamships in 1871 and although the company achieved some success it was dissolved two years later. In April 1873, a new company was established with four steamships. This company, ?Netherlands-American Steamship Company? (NASM), was better organised and financed, allowing it to quickly expand to offer steady and regularly scheduled services. In 1896 the company added ?Holland America Line? (HAL) to its name.00From 1873, 150 years of exciting maritime history followed, created by a versatile shipping company that would evolve into one of the world?s most successful cruise lines. Those 150 years are vividly described in this richly illustrated book which covers many topics readers will not find included in previous books about HAL.00Despite the challenges to the cruise line industry caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, Holland America is still on the rise. HAL creates new ?bridges across oceans? and reconnects current and future cruise guests to the company?s fleet of magnificent ships. Today, the same spirit of persistence of its founders remains the cornerstone of HAL?s corporate policy and will continue to guide it into the future.00This book, with a foreword by Gus Antorcha: President of Holland America Line, is the first volume in a set of five to be published during Holland America?s 2023 Jubilee Year.

The true story of the Holland America cruise ship Zaandam, which set sail with a deadly and little-understood stowaway—COVID-19—days before the world shut down in March 2020. This riveting narrative thriller takes readers behind the scenes with passengers and crew who were caught unprepared for the deadly ordeal that lay ahead. In early 2020, the world was on edge. An ominous virus was spreading on different continents, and no one knew what the coming weeks would bring. Far from the hot spots, the cruise ship Zaandam, owned by Holland America, was preparing to sail from Buenos Aires, Argentina, loaded with 1,200 passengers—Americans, Europeans and South Americans, plus 600 crew. Most passengers were over the age of sixty-five. There was concern about the virus on the news, and it had already killed and sickened passengers on other Holland America ships. But that was oceans away, and escaping to sea at the ends of the earth for a few weeks seemed like it might be a good option. The cruise line had said the voyage (three weeks around the South American coastline to see some of the world’s most stunning natural wonders and ancient ruins) would carry on as scheduled, with no refunds. And it would be safe. Among the travelers there is a retired American school superintendent on a dream vacation with his wife of fifty-six years, on a personal quest to see Machu Picchu. There is an Argentine psychologist taking this trip to celebrate her sixty-fourth birthday with her husband, though she finds herself fretting in her cabin on day one, trying to dismiss her fears of what she’s hearing on the news. There is an Indonesian laundry manager who's been toiling on Holland America cruise ships for thirty years, sending his monthly paycheck to his family back home. Within days, people aboard Zaandam begin to fall sick. The world’s ports shut down. Zaandam becomes a top story on the news and is denied safe harbor everywhere. With only two doctors aboard and few medical supplies to test for or treat COVID-19, and with dwindling food and water, the ship wanders the oceans on an unthinkable journey.
