Review: 7 Day Alaska Cruise Round Trip Seattle
By: Angel Green, Senior Manager Sales & Marketing Integration
What an awesome opportunity it was to sail aboard the luxurious Holland America Eurodam. We sailed the Alaska Inside Passage with endless miles of untouched wilderness. The Eurodam is a very elegant midsized ship with lots to offer. This ship is beautiful with very comfortable beds and the staterooms are immaculate.
