14 Night Cruise sailing from Ft Lauderdale to San Diego aboard Statendam.
The ms Statendam is a masterpiece of the shipbuilder's art. Luxurious, technologically advanced, and, because she carries fewer guests than other ships in her class, truly spacious. Experience a soaring atrium lobby, where guests pause for espresso, shop exclusive boutiques, send e-mail and meet friends for drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Spectacular views of the sea and horizon are everywhere - from the two-tiered dining room to suites and deluxe staterooms with private verandahs.
Panama Canal
A world of wonders awaits your exploration
Every mile of the massive Panama Canal represents a hundred stories of extraordinary human vision, tragedy and triumph. One of the greatest achievements of the 20th century, the Panama Canal remains an engineering marvel and one of the world's most vital trade routes. Transiting the Panama Canal is a traveler's "must do" adventure and is just the beginning of the wonders you'll experience on a Holland America Line Panama Canal cruise vacation.
Ft Lauderdale
There is an abundance of things to see and do in the Ft. Lauderdale area: visit the newly redesigned Ft. Lauderdale Beach and cafes, stroll the historic Riverwalk, shop the luxurious stores on Las Olas Boulevard or venture to the Everglades for an intriguing air boat excursion.
Oranjestad
Colorful floating markets, wondrous coral reefs and landscapes dotted with curiously bent divi-divi trees await on this, the "A" of the Netherlands Antilles' famous ABC islands. (Bonaire and Curacao round out the trio.)
Acapulco
A world-class resort town renowned for its beaches, magnificent tropical villas and hotels, and, of course, the daring cliff divers of La Quebrada.
Cabo San Lucas
At the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the blue Pacific mingles with the Sea of Cortez in a whirl of watercolors. Even more spectacular: waters teeming with marlin, swordfish, sailfish, tuna and other fighting fish. Feast your eyes on exquisite black coral; take in the annual migration of the gray whale.
San Diego
Sunshine and fun are business as usual in San Diego. Walk on Coronado Island's sandy beach, take in the Old Town that brings the city's early Spanish days to life, have a wild time at the famous San Diego Zoo or a whale of a good time at Sea World.
