Holland America Line has long been known as a leader in cruising in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, and a seven-day "Great Bear Rainforest" itinerary that hasn't been offered in decades showcases a distinct take on cruising in this region. Departing Oct. 5, 2025, and April 19, 2026, aboard Noordam, travelers seeking a more intimate experience can become immersed in the culture, nature and rare wildlife of Ketchikan, Alaska, and Prince Rupert, Nanaimo and Victoria, British Columbia. "This in-depth exploration of the PNW takes guests through the historic Inside Passage, sailing through some of the most confined waters our ships have ever sailed, said Paul Grigsby, vice president of deployment and revenue planning for Holland America Line. "This is the true Inside Passage, the storied route between Seattle and Alaska that ships have been sailing since as far back as the gold rush era. It is a first for our company to plan a sailing focused on this fjord-like waterway that maximizes a daylight transit to allow best opportunities for wildlife sightings," added Grigsby. The roundtrip from Seattle, Washington, "Great Bear Rainforest" itinerary calls at Ketchikan before heading south to thoroughly explore ports in British Columbia. The ship overnights in Prince Rupert before scenic cruising in Greenville Channel, past the first nation's village of Bella Bella, Johnstone Strait and Seymour Narrows. While cruising, guests can view wildlife like whales, eagles and the rare Kermode bear — also known as the spirit bear. A maiden call at Nanaimo and visit to popular Victoria give guests the opportunity to deeply explore many different communities in British Columbia.

Eurodam, heading to FLL, minutes ago. Love the Bagpiper on the Aft of the ship.

Ottahand7 No complaints on the noise, neighbors were quiet for the most part, we were able to prop the door open at night to hear the ocean. Cabins need a refurbishment.

We are in 4176, above us is 5, it appears to be slightly smaller than 4.

We are currently on the Eurodam, sailed out of Port everglades last week, we stayed 1 night at the Embassy Suites . The front desk did not have a "Bar setup ", what they had was a selection of small bottled wines and beer for sale to purchase for your room.

We are on the Eurodam also in Neptune Suite 4176, opposite your cabin. We have sailed on all of the sister ships in Neptune Aft Suites on decks 8, 7, 6 and now 4. We like the large balcony on 4, and the privacy. A couple of pictures of our setup for the balcony.

Also from the Eurodam leaving Fort Lauderdale yesterday. We are on this 10 day cruise on a Aft Neptune Suite.
