Welcome, Europe Traveler! One of the great joys of traveling in Europe is discovering the subtle—and not-so-subtle—differences from life back home. Hotel star ratings are a prime example. While U.S. travelers may associate stars with subjective quality assessments, in Europe, a 4- or 5-star designation typically reflects a specific checklist of objective criteria.

Last week I had the chance to sail on Holland America’s Nieuw Statendam through the Eastern Caribbean. We were looking forward to this quick escape since the itinerary had the perfect mix of vibrant islands, lazy sea days, and just enough adventure. Holland America is the oldest cruise line in the US; they started off about 150 years ago transporting European immigrants from Rotterdam, Netherlands to the US. They now have ships cruising the entire world but are still honoring their Dutch roots – which is dear to me because my roots are Dutch as well! Here’s how it all unfolded.
