Designed to cater for first-time cruisers and those looking for family holidays as well as more traditional cruise ship guests, Zuiderdam is a fun, exciting and modern cruise ship. Some of Zuiderdam's most attractive features include a dedicated cinema, a casino, clubs for young children and teens, and excellent service from welcoming and attentive staff.
Enjoy cruise holidays aboard Zuiderdam thanks to its extensive range of outdoor facilities. Go for a swim in one of two outdoor swimming pools, take in the stunning views in an exterior glass-walled elevator or simply go for a relaxing stroll on the cruise ship's full wrap-around promenade deck. Zuiderdam's interior is equally as attractive, with an extravagant three deck high lobby serving as a spectacular welcome to guests for cruise holidays aboard this fantastic premium standard cruise ship.
The excellent programme of entertainment during cruise holidays aboard Zuiderdam offers something for everyone. For those looking for lively evenings, the cruise ship's own casino is the ideal place to get dressed up, try your hand at poker or blackjack, mingle and meet new people.
Holland America Line also excels at providing traditional cruise ship entertainment, and Zuiderdam's Vista Lounge is no exception. This stunning entertainment venue has ornate spiral stairways, features talented vocalists, dancers, illusionists, throughout cruise holidays.
However, after long days of enjoying shore excursions or onboard activities, many guests may want to simply relax and unwind in the evenings. For this reason, Zuiderdam has a dedicated cinema and a variety of lounges and bars to enjoy throughout cruise holidays, including the Ocean Bar, Piano Bar and Gallery Bar.
Two new music venues have recently been added: Lincoln Center Stage, featuring world-class musicians performing chamber music, and Billboard Onboard, rocking the house with 50 years of chart-topping hits. These venues will join the already popular B.B. King’s Blues Club, which brings the best of Memphis blues to sea, and completes our new “Music Walk” experience.
Guests looking for top-quality dining experiences throughout premium cruise holidays will be more than happy with Zuiderdam's dining options. The intimate speciality restaurant, the Pinnacle Grill, serves delicious Pacific Northwest cuisine in sophisticated and refined surroundings.
Zuiderdam's main dining venue is the Vista Dining Room which spans three decks, has over 1,000 seats and has many extravagant and special decorative touches. Here, guests can choose between fixed and open seating options, enjoy live music every evening and indulge in special themed meals throughout cruise holidays.
There are of course times during cruise holidays, particularly during family cruise holidays, when more casual meals are ideal. Enjoy tasty meals in relaxed surroundings in Zuiderdam's Lido Restaurant, grab a coffee, snack or sandwich at the Terrace Grill or try a bit of al fresco eating at one of the cruise ship's outdoor buffets.
Canaletto, an authentic Italian restaurant offering a menu that celebrates spartire (Italian for "sharing"). Try Braised Chicken Cacciatore "al Forno," Branzino ai Ferri or a classic Italian pasta: spaghetti pomodoro or garlic shrimp-infused ravioli…
Dive in to a grilled burger on brioche or a Nathan’s Famous gourmet hot dog. For alfresco dining by the pool, Dive-In has it all, including lighter fare like our grilled chicken breast sandwich and vegetarian-friendly portabella mushroom stack.

Easygoing yet inquisitive travellers who venture out during the day and delight in culinary experiences and live music during the evenings.
Adventure enthusiasts who yearn for a range of onboard attractions and non-stop nightlife...
Holland America Line cruisers typically average 50 years old or above and are evenly divided between retirees and those still employed. The demographic skews older on longer cruises, attracting more retired passengers. HAL passengers value travel experiences, and many boast a wealth of cruise expertise. They have a penchant for gourmet cuisine and are aficionados of music – two areas in which HAL takes pride. The majority hail from the United States and Canada, although around 20 percent of travellers come from international destinations, with the United Kingdom and Australia leading the pack. Throughout summer and holiday periods, the average age on board decreases as families, particularly multi-generational groups involving grandparents and grandchildren, embark on voyages. This trend is especially noticeable on the line's Alaska and Canada/New England routes.
During the day, there isn't a strict dress code, but for most evenings aboard a Holland America Line cruise, smart-casual attire is expected. Therefore, swimwear, flip-flops, shorts, and tank tops are not allowed in any of the restaurants. The cruise does hold formal evenings (the number depends on the duration of the voyage) known as Gala Nights, where formal attire is required. Typically, men wear suits and ties (or jackets without ties, particularly in the Caribbean), while women often choose cocktail dresses, gowns, or dressy trousers paired with elegant blouses.
It is a full-board cruise experience with a choice of dining venues and a wide range of entertainment venues. You can upgrade to the "Have it All" fare, which incorporates various amenities like drinks, shore excursions, speciality dining, and Wi-Fi, making the cruise experience more inclusive. However, some services or experiences can incur additional charges, like speciality dining options, spa treatments, shopping, and exclusive shore excursions.
Passengers on Holland America Line's ships appreciate the company's commitment to traditional cruise activities, such as afternoon tea and ballroom dancing. However, they also gravitate towards the newer options available. Specifically, the live music performances, such as BB King's Blues Club, Billboard Onboard, Rolling Stone Rock Room, and Lincoln Center Stage, attract a significant audience most evenings. Additionally, the culinary demonstrations by the line are usually packed, and culinary classes (including some specifically designed for children), wine tastings and blendings (available on select ships), and complimentary computer classes are in high demand. Equally favoured by many Holland America Line passengers is unwinding in the top-deck Crow's Nest. It's common to see people there engrossed in a book, solving a jigsaw puzzle, or playing cards or board games.
