About This Cruise
The 15 Night Cultural Crossing With England & Normandy is a 15-night one-way itinerary aboard Holland America Nieuw Statendam. You board in Rotterdam (Amsterdam) and disembark in Fort Lauderdale, calling at 7 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Holland (Rotterdam), Belgium (Zeebrugge), England (Dover), France (Cherbourg, Le Havre), England (Portland) and Florida (Fort Lauderdale).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Rotterdam (Amsterdam) and home from Fort Lauderdale, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 9 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports.
