A map of the 2026 Holland America Line World Cruise — Map of the Ms Volendam Itinerary for the 2026 World Cruise

Hello everyone! apologies for making you wait so long between blog posts. I need to hire someone to remind me of all of my responsibilities haha. I'm seeing that it's been almost a year since my last update here! My blog efforts had transferred to more of a vlog focus for 2026 as I created a mini video for each port in the 5 month World Cruise that I was on for 2026. That's right! I was fortunate enough to be the Regional Soloist on the Ms Volendam for the 2026 World Cruise!

On the World Cruise, we traveled from Florida, Down through islands and countries along the eastern coastline of South America, to Antarctica, rounded Cape Horn traveling up and around through beautiful Islands in French Polynesia, New Zealand and Australia, and on to Asia before crossing back over to Alaska. Then the ship went down and around the Panama Canal and back to Florida! It was a wild ride and I was so happy to be a part of it. I disembarked two weeks shy of the finish line due to some health problems, but I'm back and well again and singing and playing guitar on the Ms Zaandam again!

I'm so grateful to the many people and places I got to meet along the way and I'm enjoying the wonderful Zaandam itinerary now. I also learned many new songs while on the World Cruise, and I'm happy to have them available now for the future cruisers to come. I'm typing this out as we exit Glacier Bay National Park for the last time, as we're about to start on to warmer weather.

Thanks for the love and support and I'll do my best to keep everyone updated. Enjoy some photos from my 2026 World Cruise.
