There’s no time to waste if you want to take advantage of
this great deal from Holland America Line. On Friday, March 21, 2014, ms
Noordam embarks on her Transatlantic Repositioning cruise from Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida to Barcelona, Spain. There is limited space available and an inside
cabin can be had for as low as $500 per person for this 14 night journey across
the Atlantic Ocean.
The Cruise
Holland America’s ms Noordam leaves Port Everglades in Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida at 4pm on Friday, March 21, 2014 for a 14 night cruise to
Barcelona, Spain. She arrives at her final destination at 7am on Friday, April
4, 2014. Along the way, she makes four port calls, all on the Eastern end of
the journey.
First up is Ponta Delgada in Portugal’s Azores Islands after
over a week at sea. Noordam remains at Ponta Delgada from 8am until 4pm on
Saturday, March 29. She follows that up by two more full days at sea before her
next port of call.
On Tuesday, April 1, 2014 it’s no April Fool’s joke, the
ship finally arrives on mainland Europe. Noordam docks at Cadiz on the Atlantic
Coast of Spain. Cadiz is northwest of Gibraltar and the entrance to the
Mediterranean. She is docked her from 8am until 6pm.
The following day, Noordam rounds Gibraltar and enters the
Mediterranean Sea. Her next stop is at Malaga, Spain on Wednesday, April 2.
Malaga is northeast of Gibraltar, sort of in the mirror position as Cadiz. The
ship parks here again from 8am until 6pm.
The final port of call occurs on Thursday, April 3 from 7am
until 1pm at Cartagena, Spain. After this short stop, Noordam overnights to her
final destination of Barcelona.

$1,197.62, including taxes.
