Len Anderson, APRN – Anchorage

Today the MS Amsterdam makes its first Anchorage appearance of the season with a morning docking and a day long stay.   It’s the second year that the Holland America vessel has come to Anchorage and the first of eight calls scheduled for the summer, on alternating Fridays.

The Amsterdam carries just under 1,400 passengers and 600 crew members.  It spends approximately 16 hours in Anchorage.

Two other ships, Oceania’s Regatta and the Silversea Silver Shadow will also dock at Anchorage this summer.
