7-Day Southern Caribbean

Fort Lauderdale, FL to Fort Lauderdale

Few destinations boast the cultural diversity, colonial history and natural wonders that define the Caribbean. Calypso rhythms fill the air. Warm breezes beckon. Mayan ruins, colonial cities, volcanoes and coral reefs beg exploration. Soft white beaches and blue lagoons promise perfect, easy sun-soaked days. Holland America Line Caribbean cruise vacations offer all this and more.

Willemstad, Curacao: Amsterdam-like canals, gabled Dutch colonial buildings, an exotic floating market. This bustling duty-free port has it all. Plus the world-famous Curaçao Liqueur Distillery and an intriguing coral reef teeming with parrotfish and queen angelfish.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas: Holland America Line's pristine private island offers everything you need for a day of play in paradise: a two-mile crescent of perfect beach; an interior lagoon; private beachside cabanas with butler service, showers and misters; and all manner of watersports and activities, including a children's aqua park and a buoyed personal watercraft course.

Prices are per-person based on double occupancy, unless otherwise noted.

ms Westerdam

The ms Westerdam is the third in Holland America Line's series of Vista-class ships. As such, she embraces the latest industry and environmental technologies such as her use of a diesel-electric power plant for optimal energy efficiency and an Azipod propulsion system. Most of her staterooms have ocean views and many have private verandahs.

The theme of ms Westerdam's art collection is Dutch heritage in the New World. Art ranges from paintings of historic Dutch ships, such as Henry Hudson's Half Moon, to a huge Indian silver-overlaid wood palace doorway, a bone tobacco pipe carved in the shape of a woman's head to a collection of 5,000-year-old pre-Columbian carved limestone figures from Ecuador. Contemporary pieces include an original Andy Warhol portrait and signature sculptures by Sedona artist Susanna Holt.

Holland America Line

All cruise lines in the world will tell you they're the best. That they offer the best food, the best entertainment, the best ships. But there is one cruise line that lives up to its boast: Holland America Line... recognized time and time again as the "best premium cruise line" and "best overall cruise value." What must a cruise line do to earn such acclaim? Big things you would expect of a great cruise line. And little things that make Holland America Line the Premium Cruise Line.

Escape depends on leaving a world of routine, regiment and restrictions behind and entering a carefree, graceful world where everything seems to exist for you alone. Such is the world of Holland America Line, recognized time and time again as the "best premium cruise line" - and for seven years running, the "best overall cruise value."

High praise, indeed. Yet, we earn every accolade with the kind of service you simply won't find on any other cruise line. When, for instance, was the last time a bartender poured your favorite beer into a tall glass, frosted as it should be? When a waiter dutifully noted that you prefer regular coffee with breakfast, decaf after dinner, and served both in a Rosenthal china cup? When someone brought fresh fruit to your room every day, and turned down your bed each night, placing a chocolate medallion on your pillow?

In addition to the big things you would expect of a great cruise line, these are some of the little things that make Holland America Line the Premium Cruise Line.
