Cruise Search

View Expanded Search Search Help

You can select more than one option in most of the form fields. Here are explanations of the search options we get asked about the most often:

Departure Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that start in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that start at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that start in either New York or Boston.

→ In the "Advanced Search"

Arrival Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that end in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that end at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that end in either New York or Boston.

Ports of Call: You can the type name of one port that you would like all your search results to include. For example, if you type Barcelona all of the search results will include cruises that include Barcelona (even if it's not a starting or ending port in the itinerary). Be sure to spell the port name correctly!

Max Occupancy: Allows you to view search results that only include ships that have accommodations for a minimum amount of people per room. For example, if you select "5 and more" your search results will only include ships that have at least one room type that would accommodate at least 5 people. The pricing that displays on the search results page will be the per person pricing based on a room for two people. Proceed further in the online booking process to view the pricing for accommodations for a different occupancy.

Kid-Friendly: Shows cruises that are great choices for those traveling with children and teens. Includes ships with youth programs and/or youth-friendly public spaces. Programs and public spaces are subject to change, at the discretion of the cruise line.

→ Cruise Only vs Cruise Line Tour

If you check the Cruise Only option, you will only see results that are for a cruise vacation. If you check the Cruise Line Tour option, you will only see vacations that include a cruise + land tour package (also known as a Cruise Tour). Leave both unchecked to view results that include both vacation types.

One of Holland America Line's beautiful and spacious mid-sized cruise ships, ms Zaandam can be found cruising in some of the most desirable vacation destinations in the world. Among the possible destinations that this musically-themed ship travels to are the nature-filled cities and waters of Alaska, as well as tropical and exotic locals including Hawaii, Australia and Mexico.

Because of the numerous public spaces available, while on a ms Zaandam cruise you're sure to always have something to do. The two-story Mondriaan Lounge is home to a live performance on each night of the cruise. Possible shows include comedians, acrobats, singers, dancers, musicians and game shows. Also on board ms Zaandam is a casino, swimming pools, whirlpools, duty-free shopping boutiques, an art gallery, photo gallery, spa, fitness center, basketball court, tennis court, as well as The Culinary Arts Center (where guests can take part in gourmet cooking lessons). Among the many bars and lounge aboard ms Zaandam is Crow's Nest (an observation lounge that becomes a nightclub during the evening), the Piano Bar, the Ocean Bar and the Sea View Bar.

Known for superior cuisine, Holland America Line certainly lives up to their name aboard ms Zaandam. The two-level Rotterdam Dining Room is the ship's main restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner (which is a five-course meal each evening). The Lido Restaurant is a casual venue, featuring cooked-to-order specialties. Located nearby is Canaletto Restaurant, a casual Italian eatery. 24-hour room service is a convenient option for those that would like to dine in the comfort and privacy of their stateroom or suite.

Following her next refurbishment, ms Zaandam will debut a number of Suite enhancements as part of a $300-million brand initiative. The main living area in each Suite will be refreshed with a new sofa, lounge chairs, carpet, headboard and more to bring a feeling of contemporary luxury to these accommodations. Electronic upgrades will feature new USB outlets added to the bed headboard, along with LED bedside lights, and fully interactive television system integrating movies on demand as well as daily programming. Suite bathrooms will also receive a designer makeover, featuring a new vanity area with new stone tops, modern faucets and under-mount sinks. Starting in January 2016, guests will also receive additional Suite amenities, which include superior bathrobes and slippers, binoculars for use during the voyage, an in-suite coffee and espresso machine and more!
