MS Zaandam is a Rotterdam Class-class ship from Holland America, built in 2000 and the #10 ship in the Holland America fleet by size, with 9 passenger decks. A recent dry dock rebuilt the Greenhouse Spa Salon with a new thermal suite and infrared sauna. Dinner runs from steaks and seafood at Pinnacle Grill to shared Italian plates at Canaletto, and the World Stage surrounds live performances with wraparound LED screens. The evening crowd gathers on a single deck at Hudson, Mix and the Casino, while Crows Nest pairs panoramic ocean views with live entertainment after dark. Afternoon tea and dancing happen in the Queens Room, and the Lido Pool sits beneath the Sliding Dome Cover. Children and teens have Club Hal, teenagers get their own hangout at The Loft, and adults can retreat to the Sea View Bar.
With four sea days on this sailing, there's time for Greenhouse Spa Salon, Sliding Dome Cover and Explorers Lounge.
