Cruising the Caribbean with my teenagers!

⚓️ Eastern Caribbean cruise highlights with Travel Expert Ang Perkins

Ang recently sailed on board the beautiful MS Nieuw Statendam with Holland America Line, exploring the Eastern Caribbean and it quickly became a family adventure to remember.

From the moment they stepped onboard, embarkation was seamless, luggage whisked away and check-in smooth and efficient. Their spacious balcony cabin quickly became a favourite spot, perfect for morning coffees arriving into new ports and sunset sailaways watching ships sparkle across the ocean.

Itinerary: Half Moon Cay | Turks and Caicos | Amber Cove | Nassau

The itinerary itself was a real highlight, with stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters and unforgettable island experiences along the way.

✨ Ang’s favourite moments onboard:

• The sauna at sea every evening after exploring ashore

• Reading on the balcony during sailaway while the ocean lights twinkled around them

• Gym sessions and basketball for her son

• As huge animal lovers, the itinerary itself was a real highlight

• Incredible speciality dining at Pinnacle Grill and Tamarind, with outstanding food and service

Food lovers are spoiled onboard too, with everything from the elegant Dining Room to casual favourites like Dive-In burgers and New York Deli pizza, plus speciality restaurants including Tamarind, Rudi’s Sel de Mer and the famous Pinnacle Grill.

One standout day? A trip to Rose Island after docking in Nassau, followed by lunch at the local fish fry - a perfect Bahamas day.

This ship offers premium cruising with fantastic dining, live music, beautiful spa facilities and a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for travellers who love great itineraries and classic cruise style.
