Europe, long and short with Holland America

Holland America has come up with a great idea for those planning a land trip to Europe that would like to mix in a short cruise.

Short cruises are extremely popular out of North America. In season several short cruises are avaialbe up and down the coast from Californian to Seattle and Vancouver as the ships get ready to start or depart the Alaska summer season.

The Caribbean and Mexico have plenty out of the coastal ports across the southern half of the U.S.

All of these below are on their new Signature class ship Eurodam—which I will have a full review for you in about two weeks time.

The first four-day itinerary departs July 2–from Copenhagen to Dover (London). Along the way, the ship will call at Oslo, Norway, with a late-night departure. The ships second stop before Dover will be at their original home port of Amsterdam
 
The second four-day cruise departs July 6 and sails round-trip Dover.
 Eurodam first calls at Zeebrugge (Brussels), Belgium–next, the vessel calls at Cherbourg, France, where it stays until midnight allowing for plenty of extra time to explore the Normandy port.
St. Peter Port, Guernsey, is the final call en route to Dover.
 
Eurodam sails a two-day mini-holiday—all at sea– from Dover to Copenhagen, departing July 10.

I assume you could buy the 4 day and the 2 day and make a 6 day journey
 
 
The 12-day Collectors’ Voyage actually combines the two-day Eurodam sampler cruise departing July 10, and continues on its Copenhagen round-trip journey to Warnemünde (Berlin), Stockholm, Helsinki, St. Petersburg (overnight), Tallinn and Kiel.
 
Cruise fares are per person, double occupancy, and rates start at $239 for the two-day mini-holiday departing July 10;
$449 for the four-day voyages departing July 2 or 6;
$1,599 for the 12-day Collectors’ Voyage departing July 10 from Dover

Prices are U.S. with fuel and taxes extra
