Our back to back cruises in the Caribbean on the Holland America ship Rotterdam really did exceed our expectations! We had previously prioritised sailing with Celebrity but the Rotterdam was more than a match on several counts.
The quality cabins, attentive crew and like minded passengers made the whole experience a joy. As always with Iglu the stays and transfers were smooth and of high quality only to be matched by the ship itself.
We had the 'Have it All' package that led us to experience exceptional cuisine along with interesting and exciting excursions that may have otherwise not invested in.
The food in all corners of the ship was special and the Dutch Cafe a pleasant retreat with bright and friendly service.
Entertainment by the BB King Blues Band was of the highest quality and performed by exceptional musicians. It was only in the World Theatre that the quality of some of the performers was lacking and the inclusion of live backing music was missed.
This was only our second cruise with Holland America and will not be the last!

The largest port in Europe, Rotterdam had much of its extensive history destroyed during the second World War, but you'll find glimpses into the past through fascinating museums and architecture. For shopping, bars and restaurants head to the Markthal, a unique building with plenty to enjoy. Meanwhile, families will love Rotterdam Zoo, as well as the Euromast Tower which provides stunning views across the city.
Things to do in Rotterdam:
Cube Houses
One of Rotterdam's most well-known landmarks is the Cube Houses (Kubuswoningen). These residential sets of buildings, created by Dutch architect Piet Blom, stand out because each home is cube-shaped. A unique place to visit whilst in Rotterdam, you can learn ore about the cube houses by visiting the Show Cube Museum.
Euromast
Designed by architect Maaskant, this 185-metre tower is one of the tallest buildings in Holland. Step into the elevator and head up the tower to enjoy breathtaking views over Rotterdam; and if it’s a clear day, you can even see the city of Antwerp in the distance.
Erasmusbrug Bridge
An iconic landmark in Rotterdam, the Erasmusbrug Bridge was constructed in 1986 and connects the north and south of the city. A striking feat of engineering, it’s surrounded by cafes, restaurants and hotels.

Oslo
DAY 3
02 Jun 2026
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 5 PM
As Norway's capital city, there's no doubt that Oslo is a hub of stylish architecture, Scandinavian culture and quirky art scenes, as well as plenty of traditional Norwegian cuisine. The renowned Opera House and Holmenkollen Ski Museum are just two examples of the fascinating and eye-catching attractions you'll find in this cosmopolitan city, while outdoor adventurers will love exploring Vigeland Sculpture Park.
Things to do in Oslo:
Akershus Fortress
Akershus Fortress is an amazing place to learn about Oslo's past. Under king Hkon V, construction on Akershus Castle and Fortress began in 1299. The 1300s saw the completion of the mediaeval fortress, which was strategically situated at the tip of the headland and resisted several sieges throughout the centuries.
The Vigeland Park
A bus ride away from the cruise port, Vigeland Park is an incredible sculpture park and museum that displays an array of exhibitions and pieces, including from the park’s namesake, Gustav Vigeland. A beautiful, tranquil park it spans an impressive 80 acres.

Sandnes
DAY 5
04 Jun 2026
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 3 PM
Just a short distance from Stavanger, and sitting at the southern end of the Gandsfjord, Sandnes is among the most southern Norwegian cruise destinations, something that means it enjoys slightly more temperate weather throughout the year. Why is this important? Well, as a rather narrow city surrounded by an abundance of excellent hiking and walking routes, it makes exploring this remarkable region a lot easier. A fantastic cruise destination for travellers who want to get up and out to explore the great outdoors, you’ll find an abundance of breathtaking views when you head out on an adventure in Sandnes. Although, this destination isn’t just great for the hikers among you; you’ll find all the charm of a smaller Norwegian town, but all the amenities of a bustling city, in Sandnes. With fantastic restaurants and cafes, attractions like the Vitenfabrikken (Science Centre) and Atelier K. Fossum art gallery, and plenty of urban parks to stroll through, there are more ways than one to make the most of a visit to Sandnes while cruising Scandinavia.
Things to do in Sandnes:
Dalsnuten
One of the most popular hiking routes in the region is the hike to Dalsnuten, a peak by the Gandsfjord that stands over 330 metres above sea level; a reasonably accessible route that’s suitable for the whole family, views from Dalsnuten are stunning – and, if you want to spend a little more time exploring the area, there are plenty of ways to extend your hike on the way up. With routes affording you the chance to see the remains of the Lundane homestead, an old farm and its orchard, and more insights into what life in rural Norway was like, you’ll find an adventure here refreshing and rewarding.
Sverd i fjell
Known as “Swords in Rock” in English, Sverd i fjell is an impressive monument in Stavanger (which is just north of Sandnes) commemorating the historic Battle of Hafrsfjord, which took place in 872. The battle that resulted in King Harald Fairhair uniting all of Norway under one crown, the monument depicts three bronze swords – the largest of which representing the victorious Harald, while the other two represent the defeated petty kings. Planted in solid rock, so that the swords may never be removed and wielded again, the monument also represents peace.
Kongeparken
If you’re looking for something a little different, Kongeparken – which sits just south of Sandnes – is one of the largest amusement parks in the region and home to more than 50 rides, along with restaurants and other theme-park attractions. While largely aimed at younger children, from ages 3 to 12, you’ll find fun for the whole family here.
Scenic Cruising Sognefjord
DAY 5
04 Jun 2026
Time at Port: from 3:01 PM to 3:01 PM
The ever-impressive Sognefjord, which is nicknamed King of the Fjords, is both the longest and the deepest fjord in Norway. Cutting comfortably through Vestland county, with several sizable offshoots branching into smaller fjords as you head further inland, Sognefjord stretches roughly 127 miles and boasts some of the most breathtaking Scandinavian scenery you can see while sailing in Northern Europe. As wide as four miles at some points, and as narrow as 250 metres at others, this is a dramatic natural waterway where you can enjoy sensational views of snow-capped mountains stretching up into the sky, impressive icy glaciers, and vibrant forests while relishing in the comfort afforded by your cruise ship. With tumbling waterfalls, small coastal settlements, and impressive wildlife littering the shores, there’s always something interesting to spot while you’re enjoying this scenic cruising experience.
Skjolden
DAY 6
05 Jun 2026
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 3 PM
Skjolden is a picturesque village in Vestland County, Western Norway. It’s part of the Lustre municipality, and located at the head of the Sognefjorden, the longest navigable fjord in the world, making the sail there a spectacle in and of itself. With a small population of only 300 inhabitants, if the busyness of a major city is what you're looking for, you're in the wrong area; on the other hand, if you want peace and quiet together with a breathtaking landscape, you're in the perfect spot. With 3 national parks at its doorstep (Jostedalsbreen, Breheimen and Jotunheimen), alongside a variety of other attractions, you’ll have an unforgettable stop in Skjolden.
Things to do in Skjolden:
Wittgenstein Lodge
The Wittgenstein family was one of the most powerful in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in the second part of the nineteenth century. Hochreit, Karl Wittgenstein's hunting lodge, was furnished by Hoffmann in 1907 and is situated in a lovely area directly on the lake. Inside, feel like you've been transported back in time as you discover the historic future from the early 19th century.
Åsafossen
A stunning waterfall that is reachable on foot from the cruise port, the Asafossen waterfall is simply stunning. Measuring 180m, this impressive attraction rushes down the slope across the street from Vassbakken Kro & Camping in Skjolden. And over the years, Sherpas from Nepal have strengthened and protected the ascent to the waterfall, making it quite simple to walk up to it.
Skjolden Llamas
If you’ve ever wanted to meet or walk llamas, you’re in for a treat. At this scenic farm you can opt to walk along the lake and get to know these amazing animals. And with the farm being located just 500 metres from the centre of Skjolden, it’s perfectly located for those wanting to stay closer to the ship.
