The
Holland America
Line has issued tiles to it's travelers over the years commemorating
the current voyage. I
have no background on why some voyages were chosen to have tiles and
why others did not, any information about this is welcomed.
Below you see a list of the voyage tiles currently known to the
author. I have many
doubles and am always willing to trade or buy to extend/complete my
collection. You can reach me at tiemen @ halpostcards . com (spaces
