Is Rhodes, Greece our New Favourite Cruise Destination?
We arrive in Rhodes Greece on our Holland America Oosterdam cruise and take a tour around the island, visiting Faliraki, Lindos and a very interesting ceramic workshop. We also have time to wander and explore inside the walls of Rhodes Town and sample some local cuisine. Is there a port that offers more on your doorstep than Rhodes Town?
Back on the ship we have a lovely surprise in our cabin, have our first experience of the World Stage and also try out the late buffet!

Loving the HAL content!
Lovely place ,have only been to Santorini but would love to see more of Greece . Those chops looked amazing ,π . We had a fantastic band on the Amsterdam ,so good ! Another lovely video . Thank you x
Never been to Rhodes but have long wanted to visit. The scenery, the history and the food looked amazing. I didnβt know that The Guns of Navarone was filmed there.
The band on the ship were really good too, great video π
Right then!
I would love to sail on HAL! One day. And isnβt Rhodes a lovely historical place!
Oh daaaaaaaaaaamn. What I would give to have seen that Stairway to Heaven cover, live π even from that small clip, looked absolutely phenomenal βπ»ππ»ππ»
I just love you two guys !! I so enjoy everything that you show us !! Just keep going
I need to add this trip to my bucket list β€
Hey Paulie, what brand of trainers do you wear in port? They look quite cushionee.
Wonderful video. I am a Dame from the Knights of St. John and a the first woman Commander of St. Joseph based in the Bay Area – San Francisco area of California. Cheers!
I absolutely loved Rhodes – I found the whole place to be immaculate, and MUCH more authentic than the likes of Santorini etc. Massive thumbs up!
Went to Rhodes every September for about 17 years lovely place and the people are so friendly
Another great video!
Question: why is the drummer in the Rolling Stone Lounge surrounded by plexiglass?
Nice to hear you saying something positive about Carol – normally sarcastic πππ
Thank you for a very informative vlog, I thoroughly enjoyed it. π
Just finished watching last video and I'm so upset because have to wait a week to watch kusadasi port, I wish your video's were longer
Rhodes certainly looks a vreat place ,nice walk from ship to beach and Old town ,excellent video thanks for sharing π
Love Rhodes town , the shoe shops in the town are beautiful soft leather, we also found a lovely little hotel down one of the many side alleys Hotel Paris ,fabulous food .great video π
Holy cow! Beautiful
Paul…maybe the dance show seemed repetitive because after the first 25 minutes they started over for those who turned up late! π€£ππ
Your videos helped us decide to book an Aegean cruise with Hollander in 2025 as your travel style is similar to ours. So exciting.
Boy I hope we get a tile on our upcoming cruise…we visited the Deft Pottery factory in October and couldn't afford to buy anything…lol..
