Holland America's 2017 Grand World Voyage on the ms Amsterdam sets sail January 4, 2017, visiting 25 countries in 111 days and traveling through all 24 main Time Zones. We lose 24 hours all at once on our way west (on February 1, 2017). Since we retired we rarely remember what day it is anyway so it may pretty much be just like any other day for us. Only this time we will actually be headed into the future. We'll let you all know what is it like there.
