Captain Paul Adams joined our ship in San Diego where we boarded. The ship had just sailed in from an Alaska trip (some passengers stayed on board) and we were soon to embark on a 51-day of discovery of South Pacific islands on the Volendam. Our journey was made exceptional by the warmth and passenger engagement of our Captain.
The Captain lives in Scarborough, England, with his wife Corie and two sons. He has been with Holland America Lines since 2093, and currently works three months on board them three months off. He also is involved with the Arisan Maritime Center CSMART (https://www.csmartalmere.com/about-us/).
Our trip was made so much better with his passenger engagement and easy-going personality (including participating onstage with a juggler-comedian performer), and his Captain talks on our voyage were exceptional. Below is a photo from earlier in his career —the smile is genuine!
