Visit Beautiful, Exciting Ports of the Mexican Riviera Puerto Vallarta, Mexico The quintessential Mexican resort, "PV" is the darling of the Riviera. Stroll cobblestone streets lined with chic boutiques and galleries. Explore the bustling City Market. Or while away the afternoon on a white sand beach. Mazatlan, Mexico Mazatlan is the home of Mexico's largest shrimp fleet and numerous beachside restaurants specializing in this tasty creature, and the price of the day depends on your powers of persuasion. Explore the colonial villages of the Sierra Madres and hold your breath as you watch the Papantla Flyers work their acrobatic magic. Topolobampo, Mexico Topolobampo is the port for the city of Los Mochis. A large shrimping fleet is stationed here and the deep harbor is ideal for commercial fishing. Although these industries are significant, they pale by comparison to the regionˇs most important attraction, the spectacular Copper Canyon. This scenic chasm is four times the size of the Grand Canyon, sculpted by the on-going process of erosion, 60 million years into its seemingly immortal lifespan. The Canyon's world-renown train ride covers the entire spectrum of terrain with 39 bridges and 87 tunnels, ending at an elevation of 8,000 feet above the sparkling Sea of Cortez. Loreto, Mexico As the first capital of the Californias, Loreto is home to a proud culture rich in history. Now this envied vacation port capitalizes on its unparalleled land and seascapes, perfect Pichilingue/La Paz, Mexico Known as one of the world's finest fishing locations, La Paz offers outdoor adventure ranging from snorkeling and diving to kayaking and windsurfing. Nested on the coast of the Sea of Cortez is a secluded, yet modern city on the dry, desert-like Baja California Peninsula. Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortes meet at Land's End, Cabo San Lucas sits on the tip of the Baja Peninsula. Sun and sand are big here, but the fish are even bigger. Marlin, sailfish, tuna and billfish— all abound in these rich waters. San Diego, Ca. Sunshine and fun are business as usual in San Diego. Walk on Coronado Island's sandy beach, take in the elegant streetscapes of the historic district, have a wild time at the famous San Diego Zoo or a whale of a good time at Sea World.
A World-Class Experience ms Ryndam … enhanced amenities and services With a Dutch worldwide exploration theme, the decor of the ms Ryndam features art and artifacts from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Guests aboard this spacious ship encounter elegance at every turn - from a string quartet serenade in the splendid Rotterdam Dining Room to the two-deck Vermeer Show Lounge. At the heart of the ms Ryndam a three-story atrium features a monumental fountain created by sculptor Gilbert Lebigre in Pietrasanta, Italy. And with a gracious and unobtrusive crew, the superior service that is signature Holland America Line is never far away. Like her sister ships, the ms Ryndam is designed to provide more space for fewer guests than other ships in her class (149 of her staterooms feature private verandahs). The ms Ryndam completed all Signature of Excellence enhancements to public rooms and staterooms in Spring 2005.
