PHOTO ESSAY:
EURODAM IN NORTH AMERICA by Richard H. Wagner |
|
Eurodam does not stay in one place all year. Rather, she follows a seasonal migration. As Captain Jeroen van Donselaar has succinctly explained: "Our primary cruising area is Europe,
hence the name Eurodam. However, Europe is not a year-round cruising
destination, particularly Northern Europe where we spend about four
months out of the year. [Each year] we do a few weeks in the Mediterranean, then
Northern Europe followed by a few weeks in Canada/New England. And [the rest of the year, we spend] in what we call our winter parking
spot [i.e. the Caribbean]".
In this photo essay, we see Eurodam in some of the North American ports that she visits. (See also our Eurodam Out and About photo essay for other North American ports that she visits).
