Zaandam
Attentive service, pleasing surroundings and the promise of an enduring tradition of excellence – these are the precious commodities of which travelers dream, yet rarely find. Step aboard Holland America Line's five-star luxury ship, the Zaandam, and you will be transported from the ordinary world into ours.
The musically themed ms Zaandam offers its 1,440 guests a unique shipboard atmosphere. Inspired by the world's great music, artifacts and memorabilia from across the pantheon of musical genres decorate the ship, such as guitars signed by the Rolling Stones and other relics of legendary musicians. At the heart of the ms Zaandam, in a soaring three-story atrium, guests revel at a Baroque-style Dutch pipe organ, inspired by the traditional barrel organs still found on the streets of The Netherlands.
The ms Zaandam features spacious public rooms as well as spacious and tastefully decorated staterooms (197 of which have private verandahs). To further enhance your onboard experience, the ms Zaandam offers a wealth of cruise ship activities and indulgences to make your voyage truly memorable, such as dining in the Pinnacle Grill, relaxing in the Greenhouse Spa and Salon and enjoying some of the best cruise entertainment on the seven seas. Our gracious, attentive and unobtrusive staff is always ready to meet your requests. The ms Zaandam completed all Signature of Excellence enhancements to her public rooms and staterooms in Spring 2005.
