On May 14, 2014, ms Statendam of the Holland America Line

repositioning from Southern California to Vancouver, British Columbia results

The Cruise
MS Statendam embarks from San Diego, California on
Wednesday, May 14 at 4pm for this four night Pacific Coastal cruise. She
arrives at Vancouver, British Columbia on Sunday, May 18 at 7am. Along the way,
she makes one stop. The one port of call will have a special place in the
hearts of Denver Broncos fans.
On Saturday, May 17, ms Statendam docks at Port Angeles,
Washington. She remains in port from 2pm until 10pm. Port Angeles is on
Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, within sight of Victoria, British Columbia,
across the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Port Angeles is the birthplace and home of
Football Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway.
Between San Diego and Port Angeles, there are two full days
at sea to enjoy the luxury of this Holland America ship as it makes its way up
the Pacific Coast, past California and Oregon.
The Price
Much of this ship is already sold out for this Pacific Coastal
cruise. However, with the latest flash special, an inside stateroom onboard ms
Statendam can be had for as low as $198.34 per person, based on double

the lowest priced inside cabin goes for $606.12 for two.

to these rates, as well.
