Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the trip. My sister and brother-in-law were on this cruise and it was great to see some of the places they've been and that I read about thru her blog.

What a wonderful video. Thank you for posting. How moving to see the placid scenes with interspersed war wreckage. Beautiful islands and vistas. How could one imagine the suffering of 60 years ago?

Having been on that trip - and thoroughly enjoying it - I am not, however, surprised! Did the rep indicate why?

Noel and Pat,
What a beautiful and sensitive video and a fitting farewell to Statendam from our area. Thanks.

I inquired about the route in 2009 or 2010.
She said this was a one time run.:( HAL was disappointed in the response to it.
