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!Read More

Things to do in Invergordon (tours to Inverness or Loch Ness):
Loch Ness
Stretching around 23 miles in the Great Glen southwest of Inverness, Loch Ness is the second-largest Scottish loch by surface area and the largest loch by volume in Great Britain – though, it’s undoubtedly the most famous thanks to the infamous Loch Ness Monster, and Urquhart Castle. Overlooking Loch Ness, this castle is one of the largest in Scotland; built throughout the 13th century to the 16th century, these ruins offer incredible views of the surrounding Loch and a unique insight into the history of the Highlands. As for Nessie, this mysterious creature was reportedly first spotted in the 6th century, with the most recent spotting reportedly captured by drone footage in 2021.
Inverness Castle
Overlooking the River Ness in the heart of Inverness, Inverness Castle is the latest in a succession of fortifications that have stood on this elevated site since 1057. Constructed in a similar style to the original Inverness Castle using the same red sandstone, the current Inverness Castle dates back to 1836 – which still makes the condition it’s in today an impressive feat. Now home to the Inverness Castle Experience, you’ll have the chance to learn more about the landscape, heritage, and culture of the Scottish Highlands on an interactive journey through the castle and its grounds.

DAY 12
17 Jun 2027
Time at Port: from 8 AM to 6 PM
A historic city in North East Scotland, Aberdeen is one of the most architecturally distinctive cities in Europe and boasts some of the best coastline in the British Isles.

The weather may be a little colder than what you would experience in England, but it’s more than temperate enough to enjoy spending a day exploring this remarkable city when you arrive. Old Aberdeen, in particular, is worth spending some time in; you’ll find the Powis Gates, King’s College, and Cruickshank Botanical Gardens among the landmarks in this area.
Things to do in Aberdeen:
Slains Castle
Despite technically being known as New Slains Castle, in order to distinguish it from Old Slains Castle, Slains Castle is a 16th-century ruin in Cruden Bay, just a short drive from the city of Aberdeen itself. Built by the 9th Earl of Erroll, the castle itself is featured in Bram Stoker’s The Watter’s Mou and The Mystery of the Sea, and it’s believed that parts of the castle provided a visual palette for Stoker’s Dracula – an octagonal hall, particularly, features in the novel.
Provost Skene’s House
The oldest surviving town hours in Aberdeen, Provost Skene’s House – which was first constructed circa 1545 – is a museum on local history and prominent figures in popular culture who were born, lived, or worked in Aberdeen. While it was remodeled slightly in the mid-18th century, this is a fantastic example of Aberdeen’s unique burgh architectural style and offers an interesting insight into the period.
St. Machar’s Cathedral
In Old Aberdeen, St. Machar’s Cathedral was founded as a site of worship in around 580 – with a Norman cathedral replacing the original church circa 1131 before being rebuilt and repaired numerous times over the years. The current church, which is actually a high kirk (not a cathedral), is primarily 17th century, but remains an important cultural landmark and a stunning structure. Reportedly, the left quarter of William Wallace was buried in the walls of the cathedral following his execution in 1305.
South Queensferry (For Edinburgh)
DAY 13
18 Jun 2027
Time at Port: from 8 AM to 11 PM

However, it’s also just a short trip to Edinburgh city centre, and the Scottish capital is one destination you don’t want to miss out on visiting when you have the chance; the entire city is a picture, and home to an abundance of breathtaking sights and incredible experiences. You’ll find some of the most significant Scottish landmarks here, from the ever-iconic Edinburgh Castle to the stunning Palace of Holyroodhouse – and indeed the Royal Mile that connects the two, cutting through the heart of the city centre. That’s not all, though. From atop Calton Hill – which is home to the National Monument, the Nelson Monument, and the City Observatory (among other landmarks) – and Arthur’s Seat – an ancient extinct volcano in Holyrood Park – you’ll have the chance to admire sweeping panoramic views of the city and beyond. The Scott Monument, St. Giles’ Cathedral, and Royal Botanic Gardens are all excellent options when it comes to sightseeing too. When you combine all of this with the incredible food, charming cafes, lively pubs, and other fantastic experiences available across the capital, there really is an abundance of things to enjoy when you’re in Edinburgh. So, while South Queensferry has its charms, the Scottish capital really is the highlight here.
Things to do in South Queensferry (For Edinburgh):
Forth Bridge
An iconic single cantilever railway bridge stretching across the Firth of Forth, connecting South Queensferry with North Queensferry, Forth Bridge is an UNESCO World Heritage Site widely considered one of the best man-made wonders in Scotland; a symbol of the nation, and an impressive feat of human engineering, the bridge was completed in 1889 after seven years of construction. It spans over 8,000 feet across the waterway and was the longest single cantilever bridge in the world at the time of completion; this remained until 1919, where it was bested by Quebec Bridge in Canada. It remains the second-longest single cantilever bridge in the world, though, and an impressive sight to see first-hand.
Edinburgh Castle
Sitting atop Castle Rock – an area that has been inhabited by humans since the Iron Age – Edinburgh Castle, in some form, has overlooked the Edinburgh area since the 11th century. Starting out as a royal residence for Malcolm III, the castle eventually became a military garrison from circa 1633, and has since become an important part of Scotland’s national heritage. It played an active role in the Wars of Scottish Independence throughout the 14th century, the siege to free James III of Scotland in 1482, and the Lang Siege from 1571 to 1573 – while also being an important site during the Jacobite rising of 1745, among other Scottish conflicts. Now a tourist attraction with historical displays, several shops and cafes, and some sensational views of the city, a visit to Edinburgh Castle is not to be missed.
Calton Hill
This hill in central Edinburgh is home to a number of important landmarks and monuments, making it a fantastic place to visit when you’re in Edinburgh. Standing over 150 ft high over the Scottish capital, you’ll find the following monuments on this UNESCO World Heritage Site: the National Monument, the Nelson Monument, the Dugald Stewart Monument, the old Royal High School, the Robert Burns Monument, the Political Martyrs’ Monument, and the City Observatory. With some of these monuments as old as the 18th century, there’s a lot to learn about Edinburgh and Scotland’s history just from this one hilltop – that, and some stunning views of the city surrounding you.
The Scott Monument
A stunning Victorian Gothic monument in Edinburgh’s Princes Street Gardens, an area where you can see Edinburgh Castle atop Castle Rock rising in the distance, the Scott Monument honours Scottish novelist, poet, and historian Sir Walter Scott – who authored Rob Roy (1817), Waverley (1818), and Ivanhoe (1819), among others. At over 200 ft tall, it’s the second-tallest monument to an author in the world after the Jose Marti Monument in Havana, Cuba. While breathtaking to see from street level, you can also climb up this intricate tower monument to enjoy panoramic views of Edinburgh from viewing platforms. Inaugurated in 1846, the monument itself is adorned with visages of Scottish writers, poets, and other notable figures.
