Day 1 – Embarkation! Boarding Holland America’s Noordam for the NEW Great Bear Rainforest Cruise

Embarkation Day is finally here! After an amazing stay at the Westin Seattle, we’re heading to Pier 91 to board the Holland America Noordam for their brand-new Great Bear Rainforest Cruise — a first-of-its-kind itinerary exploring one of the most stunning and remote coastal regions on Earth. From city skylines to sea views, this day had everything: excitement, burgers, elevators with epic views, and even a taxi fare victory. Join us for a full behind-the-scenes look at our embarkation day — from checking out of the Westin to that emotional first horn blast as we sail away from Seattle. We’ll unpack (literally), explore the ship, grab our favorite Dive-In burgers, and end the night at the World Stage with live entertainment that totally surprised us. This is Episode 2 of our Great Bear Rainforest Cruise series aboard the Holland America Noordam. If you missed our Seattle Travel Day, go check that out first — that’s where this adventure began! #StephAndRickUnpacked #HollandAmerica #GreatBearRainforest #CruiseVlog #CruiseLife #EmbarkationDay #Noordam #TravelCouple #SeattleTravel #Pier91 #ExploreSeattle #HollandAmericaCruise #CruiseAdventure #SailAway #travelday Holland America Great Bear Rainforest Cruise, Great Bear Rainforest cruise 2025, Holland America Noordam, embarkation day vlog, Holland America new itinerary, Pier 91 Seattle, Seattle cruise port, Holland America embarkation, Westin Seattle travel vlog, travel couple, cruise couple vlog, Seattle to Great Bear Rainforest, first Holland America Great Bear cruise, Steph and Rick Unpacked, cruise vlog 2025, Holland America Line, Great Bear Rainforest itinerary, cruise day 1 vlog, Holland America cruise 2025, Holland America boarding process, embarkation tips Seattle, travel series 2025, Holland America Noordam vlog
