Let's kick off a 35-day back-to-back mega-adventure onboard Nieuw Statendam, starting with a 21-day round-trip itinerary out of Amsterdam called the "Ultimate Viking Explorer" with stops in Norway, Iceland, Greenland, and Scotland, among other destinations!
In today's vlog, we'll go through our embarkation day in Amsterdam, toss in some footage from our pre-cruise tour with Shore Excursions Group through the canals of Amsterdam, then roll into our first full day at sea, full of trivia and tunes.
We'll be continuing into the next sailing, which is a 14-day round-trip itinerary called "North Cape & The Midnight Sun" which focuses primarily on Norway... but more on that later!! :P

Excited to follow this journey...we are doing the 35 day Hawaii-Tahitti on Koningsdam in February 2025. Your canal cruise looked super interesting and fun! Will be interesting to hear how you feel about the inside cabin for 35 days. While I understand the reasoning and you don't spend much time in the cabin we often use our cabin as a safe haven away from the crowds..that inside might get a little closed in as the 35 days go by.

Ooooh, nice! We’ve really enjoyed our sideways interior for this sailing. Something about the layout makes it feel a big larger, and we can turn off the light and take the perfect nap at any point in the day, ha ha… :P

Hey guys, I pick up groceries for my cabin at Lido, too. I also bring a small zip lock to make a lit trail mix from the salad bar to avoid eating pizza late at night.

Aha, good idea! We usually bring some zip bags but always forget to have them when we need them at lido, ha ha… oops!!

Ya the cruise sounds amazing!! I really want to do a back to back, but I definitely could never do an inside cabin, especially for that long! Very clostrophobic!!!! And I like to be able to see outside and sit on my balcony. Don’t know how you guys do it. Wish I could then i would be able to do more cruise’s. Love watching your videos and Jay your a great commentator! Your guys Rock!!!😊

I am a little bit confused, I presume you did the tour with cheese before you went through the locks? Have a great time, I am always eyeing this cruise, since it is departing from my home country, but so far have not booked it. Looking forward to the content.

Yes, we mentioned in the first evening wrap-up that we would be showing video from the canal cruise that we took the evening before, then jumping back ahead to the second day onboard!! :D

Are they more dressy on this sailing for MDR or was that a "formal" night?
@parodeejay
@parodeejay 18 дней назад
The sea day footage was a dressy night, yes. We’ve found it to be pretty casual overall, like many cold weather cruises we’ve done. But the crowd is probably about half Dutch since we’re sailing their cruise line from their country.

"Voyage of the Vikings!!!!" Which port excursion includes pillaging and rampaging?

@lisacraze1
@lisacraze1 23 дня назад
Oh this will be fun! But honestly, the interior cabin would be a hardship for me. I’m surprised, with all your cruising loyalty experience why you opt for inside cabins so often? Is price the only reason?
@parodeejay
@parodeejay 23 дня назад
Yes, we prefer to cruise more often in a less expensive cabin!! :D
@ccm1767
@ccm1767 23 дня назад
I'm personally good with interior cabins but I am frustrated at how HAL downsized inside cabins on Vista class (compass class or Z-class) and newer ships. I much prefer the indides on the R-class ships. And sadly HAL is down to just two R-class ships.
@amandagraves5468
@amandagraves5468 6 дней назад
If you don’t mind me asking how much was this cruise?
@parodeejay
@parodeejay 6 дней назад
Typical European river cruise pricing runs about $5k per person, from what we've seen. Riverside does have different price points where you can find cabins for as low as $3k per person if you opt out of drinks and excursions, and choose less popular times of year, and we like the flexibility of their offerings!! :D
