Holland America's Zaandam: A ship for the young & adventurous

Activities

The Culinary Arts Center, sponsored by Food and Wine Magazine, offers interactive cooking lessons from top-notch chefs, whether the master chef on the ship or culinary guests. However, if you just want to learn, head to the Explorations Cafe, which offers a full library and internet in a coffee-shop environment. There are also complementary Microsoft Digital Workshop programs.

The Crow's Nest Lounge offers 270-degree views during the day while becoming a nightclub in the evening. Other lounges include the Explorer's Lounge and the Dance Lounge.

For families

There are plenty of activities for kids of young families. Club HAL caters to kids from 3-12, whereas The Loft and The Oasis are designed exclusively for teens to have fun, socialize and hang out with people their own age.

Entertainment

The Mondriaan Show Lounge features talented vocalists, dancers, illusionists, comedians and variety acts. Meanwhile, the Wajang Theater screens movies about three times a day. But throughout the ship, there is music ranging from dance trios to late night DJ at the Crow's Nest.

Dress code

Although there are several formal nights on the ship that require a jacket and tie, dress code is generally cruise casual, meaning nice trousers and a collared shirt for men and nice trousers or skirt with a top for women.
