Five O-Mazing reasons to book an #OMAGonHAL cruise!

*Disclosure: I paid my own way to sail on the inaugural cruise July 2017 and while onboard I worked with Chico’s, Holland America, and Oprah Magazine .  All blog post opinions are my own. #OMAGONHAL #OMAGINSIDERS #AD

It’s January and in Chicago this week that means single digit temperatures. BRRR. A perennial favorite activity of mine is planning vacations and right now is a wonderful time to plan another Holland America and Oprah Magazine cruise.

I took my first cruise in July on the inaugural #OMAGonHAL journey to Alaska. It was incredible to share the adventure with my fellow passengers. Being a photographer, I was like a kid in a candy store with the Alaskan grandeur at every vista. The ship was the perfect size. The accommodations, dining and entertainment were incredible. The icing on the cake of this particular cruise for me was of course seeing Oprah, Gayle King, Adam Glassman, as well as experiencing all of the OMag programming!

Five O-Mazing reasons to book an #OMAGonHAL cruise:

  1. Daily activities that inform and motivate, such as: Just Breathe, On Deck for a Cause, Let’s Eat!, Reading Room, and Love That!

  2. Go with friends but know that you’ll come home with even more!

  3. Relax and renew – the Greenhouse Spa on the ms Eurodam was a daily delight and the ticket to relaxation!

  4. Be inspired by SuperSoul 100 speakers – We enjoyed ANGELA M. DAVIS, GLENNON DOYLE MELTON and INDIA.ARIE

  5. Change your perspective, and be prepared to make waves for these cruises will change your life!
