The last week of any long voyage is always busy. We will host our last Cocktail Party for our Cruise Specialists guests, which we are looking forward to, as well as several Mariner appreciation ceremonies and luncheons planned for our final week together.

We have enjoyed onboard events and activities such as Cake-Me-Away, Ice Cream Socials, and the always well attended Orange Party, celebrating the Dutch heritage of Holland America. Our final week will also include recently boarded lecturers with a whole new series of discussion topics.

We did our Group presentation about Geocaching a few days ago and think we may have a few guests who will pursue it when they go home. For those interested in our statistics, we found 279 geocaches over the course of this trip and added two new countries to our list for a total of 97. We’d love to get to 100!

There is no better way to sum up this voyage than with a collection of photos we took along the way. Here are a few highlights from some of our favorite destinations.
