Holland America Line's Eurodam leaves Dover today for the cruise line's first round-trip sailing from the UK - and I'll be on board.
It's only a short cruise - four nights visiting Zeebrugge in Belgium, Cherbourg in France and St Peter Port in Guernsey - but it's been so popular that HAL has been inspired to do more from the UK next year.
In May and June 2010 there will be three full-length cruises, also on Eurodam, visiting the Baltic and Norwegian fjords.
I last saw Eurodam when it visited Southampton for one night last year just before sailing to Holland to be named so it will be good to see it again and get more of an impression.
Keep checking in for my thoughts on the ship and the destinations.
