You could call this one an all-American trip on a ship. You get on board in America and, after more than two months on board, you get off in America. The ship belongs to Holland America. Its purpose on this two-month voyage is to circumnavigate South America. You can probably get to the embarkation/debarkation city on American Airlines, and you can be certain most of the passengers will be American…
Stop!
On the fifth day of 2011, the
ms Prinsendam sails from Fort Lauderdale.
After two equator crossings, 13 countries, 29 ports and 66 days later, the ship returns to the same Florida port. You want to know the countries and ports…and the price…check here.
By the time it’s all over, you’ll have been to Antarctica, explored the Amazon River and made 792 new friends who will have been your roommates for two months (assuming that the cruise sells out).
They’ve titled this trip “Grand South America.” There’s that word again.
Four days into 2012, Holland America has just announced one of their ships (probably the Prinsendam) will do it all again, also from/to Fort Lauderdale. This trip takes 68 days. It’s for people who think the 2011 voyage is too short.
That’s it, we’re done.
