We were offered a good deal on this 10-day Boston to Montreal cruise on the Holland America Volendam. Though we’ve done a similar route before, we decided to book this trip because it offered three ports we have not experienced, and we could celebrate Chuck’s birthday. I was able to celebrate my birthday on a cruise earlier this year, so this cruise was his turn.
The Volendam is one of the two smallest ships in the Holland America (HAL) fleet. We have never sailed on the Volendam, but we have sailed several times on its sister ship – Zaandam. So, we knew the Volendam would not have all the amenities of the larger ships, but it would still offer great service, good food, and enjoyable activities/entertainment. And its small size allows it to sail into ports that larger ships cannot as well as being very easy to navigate inside.
So let’s go have some fun.
