In a couple of weeks we are leaving for a new cruise, this time to some places we didn't see on our recent QE2 World Cruise. The ship is the Prinsendam (Holland America). Stops include Copenhagen, Tallinn in Estonia, St. Petersburg, Helsinki, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Lorient and Bordeaux in France, A Coruna and Bilbao in Spain, Le Havre in France, Vissinge (Netherlands), Brussels, and London. We hope to send reports as we travel.
