Taking the very best of classic cruising and giving it a contemporary twist, Zuiderdam elegantly bridges tradition and modernity in a ship steeped in sumptuous luxury. Featuring an outstanding art collection with pieces from pop culture icon Andy Warhol, medallions from Frank Lloyd Wright and an expansive assortment of antiques and paintings, as well as an exciting entertainment agenda and a whole host of enrichment activities, there is almost as much to discover on board as in the fascinating regions you will visit.
Zuiderdam simply radiates high-end luxury and sumptuous opulence from the second you embark. Faced with the swooping, spiralling three-storey atrium and its exquisite Waterford seahorse chandelier, one gets a glimpse of what is to come: abundant space and light, expertly-furnished décor and a touch of glitz and glamour for a cruise that oozes indulgence and glitters with character. Zuiderdam is the first of Holland America Line’s Vista class fleet, each named after a different point of the compass (“Zuid” is the Dutch word for “South”), and her trailblazing essence unveils itself at every turn. A one-of-a-kind vessel full of spirit.
Zuiderdam offers spacious and beautifully-appointed staterooms spread across five different categories, allowing every passenger to find the individual lodgings to suit them perfectly. Awash with soothing neutral tones and highlighted with vibrant splashes of red or blue, each stateroom carries a warm and inviting ambience, while their generous size affords plenty of space in which to relax, indulge in a light afternoon nap or get dressed up for a formal dinner. Expertly designed with comfort in mind, each and every stateroom features luxurious Sealy® Premium Euro-Top mattresses and decadent fine linens, waffle weave bathrobes, Egyptian cotton towels, premium massage showerheads and high-end bath and body products to promise an indulgent night’s sleep and a refreshing start to the day. Meanwhile, flat-screen TVs and DVD players, salon-quality hairdryers, ice service, nightly turndown service and shoeshines ensure that no creature comfort must be foregone as you sail the oceans.
For those looking to indulge that bit more, Zuiderdam carries a whole host of suites for a voyage truly steeped in magnificence. Signature Suites offer such enhanced amenities as a full-size whirlpool and additional shower stall, binoculars, a menu of pillow options, personalised cruise stationery and even a private verandah from which to take in panoramic views of the dramatic sky and seascapes. Neptune Suites go one step further, with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, complimentary mimosas with breakfast, priority dining and cordial invitation to attend a cocktail party with the ship’s officers – while the Pinnacle Suite, a lodging truly worthy of its name, takes the phrase “luxury cruising” to soaring new heights. Extravagantly appointed with an oversize whirlpool and shower, separate living room, dressing room and dining room and an enormous 1,150 sq. ft. area, it is a simply palatial space offering the crème de la crème of ocean travelling services.

Zuiderdam positively abounds with activities to pass lazy afternoons and peaceful sea days. Head to the Screening Room to curl up in front of a film, team up with passengers to try your hand at bingo or a trivia quiz, or simply let the afternoon slip by as you peruse the ship’s outstanding collection of original art pieces. Perhaps you would prefer to sip a coffee in the Explorations Café, a cosy space stuffed with books, puzzles and computer spaces for a few hours of quiet, bookish tranquillity – or take a dip in the pool then soak up some rays on the Sun Deck before heading down for dinner.
As night falls, the ship’s entertainment gears up to get started. With each and every lounge and bar offering something different, you can bounce between venues on an explorative musical voyage. Catch the wildly popular B. B. King’s Blues Club taking up residence in the Queen’s Lounge for the best blues this side of Memphis, or enjoy a piano-accompanied singalong in the classic Piano Bar. Get your groove on with the dance-infused vibes at the Northern Lights bar, Zaanderdam’s disco venue, or join the shouting, stamping crowds as the ever-popular HALCats play a stinging set at the Ocean’s Bar.
For an evening of glittering showbiz glamour, the Vista Lounge Theatre sees performers taking to its stage night after night to wow audiences with astounding music, dance, comedy and magic shows. Lushly furnished with deep reds and opulent golds, as well as tiered seating, a full stage and swish, spacious seats, the theatre oozes glitz and is the perfect place from which to watch some of the best productions at sea.
Head to the Greenhouse Spa on deck 9 to indulge in a luxurious spa session; offering soothing spa treatments as well as top-class massages, acupuncture and facials, it is a haven in which to relax and unwind. After pampering yourself with a treatment, why not head to the salon to spoil yourself that bit more – teeth whitening, acrylic nails, lash extensions, manicures and hair styling will keep you feeling special for the entirety of your voyage.
Those wanting to re-energise and blow off some steam will find plentiful options for sports and exercise. The fully-equipped gym is furnished with state-of-the-art exercise machines for a solo workout, while group exercise classes in relaxing yoga or high-energy cycling are offered for those who prefer to exercise with an instructor. The Sports Deck also offers a volleyball and basketball court for a little healthy competition between passengers.
Cool off and refresh yourself after a game with a dip in Zaanderdam’s indoor or outdoor pool – followed, perhaps, by a well-deserved half hour in the hot tub, cocktail in hand!
HAL Club, Zuiderdam’s on board kid’s club, offers an exciting and ever-changing programme to keep youngsters busy and entertained throughout the voyage. They have separate agendas geared toward towards kids (aged 3-7) and tweens (aged 8-12) and offer stimulating arts and crafts, group games, puzzles, scavenger hunts, cooking classes, ice cream parties, video games and age-appropriate movie screenings in a fun and colourful space.
