Review summary

The MS Noordam is one of Holland America's newest ships and it is loaded with amenities. The crew was top-notich. We did the 10 day Mediterranean--Western and it was spectacular. The ports of call were some of the finest of tourist spots in Europe including Monaco/Nice, Barcellona, Naples, Sicily, and Florence (via a transfer) and Rome.

La Goulette (Tunis & Carthage), Tunisia
