We would like to take this opportunity to introduce

HECTOR OLIVERA’S 2004 CRUISE ITINERARY.

The itinerary we have chosen is one of the most exciting and interesting itineraries, and encompasses the popular New England and Canada Fall Foliage sailing.

Imagine…you wake up, have a leisurely breakfast on your balcony, you stroll outside and spend a day enjoying the spectacular colors of Autumn Splendor.

Today you are in Quebec City, tomorrow in Boston, the next day in Martha’s Vineyard or Prince Edward Island perhaps…

You don’t have to travel, no waiting in line, no airport security checks, no luggage to carry…Your 5 star luxury floating hotel, Holland America’s ‘Maasdam’ will do it all for you…and take you everywhere. All we expect from you is…to enjoy the journey!

And…that is just the beginning… While you are ‘At Sea’, you are our exclusive guest. You are invited to attend Master Virtuoso Hector Olivera’s concerts, workshop and master class on the Roland Atelier, and you’ll meet your fellow music enthusiasts at a welcome cocktail party, hosted by Hector and Lieve….

One of our passengers, Mr. Bill Streit, describes cruising with Hector as:            

“I think I have been in heaven for the past 10 days” and the Atlanta Journal quotes:” Hector Olivera is simply in a class by himself.”

Don’t miss the boat…! Where else can you visit the most fabulous cities in the world and listen to world renowned musician Hector Olivera…without leaving the ground?
