What a way to see the world.....
Holland America Line Unfolds Three 56- to 105-Day Grand Voyages in 2007 Aboard Two Ships
Around the World in a Leisurely 105 Days.
Returning to sailing the Grand World Voyage itineraries, the Amsterdam will chart a westward course through 17 oceans, encompassing three maiden ports, daylight passing through the Panama and Suez canals as well as two- and three-day stays in Callao (Lima), Peru; Sydney, Australia; Hong Kong, China; Mumbai, India; and Dubai, U.A.E. On her third world voyage, the Amsterdam will make three maiden visits to the resort town of Nha Trang, Vietnam; the vast, pearl-rich harbor of Tuticorin, India; and chic Salalah, Oman, with its lingering aromas of Frankincense.
The Amsterdam will depart Ft. Lauderdale Jan. 15, 2007, on a 33,400-nautical-mile journey to 38 ports in 26 countries and six continents. Onboard, staff will help guests celebrate the Panama Canal transit with an evening deck party, and the crossing of the Equator with a charming King Neptune Ceremony initiating guests into south-seas sailing. An overnight in Callao (Lima) provides an opportunity to visit the mystifying Incan world of Machu Picchu. Two days become one when the Amsterdam crosses the International Date Line and glides toward the fascinating worlds of Australia, Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
More overnights, including two in Hong Kong and Mumbai, add time for enjoying a range of beaches and famous temples of the world's religions. Other highlights include "center-of-the-world" Easter Island, Cairns, Australia, gateway to the Great Barrier Reef; Singapore; Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt, home of Mount Sinai; transit of the 101-mile Suez Canal; Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey and the great marble Temple of Artemis; Piraeus (Athens), Greece; and Livorno, Italy, providing options to visit Florence or Pisa.
