PROFILE

Cruise ship Zaandam

SUMMARY

Zaandam is a medium size cruise ship.  She is a sister ship to Holland America's Volendam and a near-sister to Amsterdam and Rotterdam formerly of HAL but now with Fred.Olsen Line.

The interior decor and layout are similar to the aforementioned ships and to the slightly smaller S-class ships such as Veendam.  In general, the public areas could be described as contemporary but restrained and upscale. 

As with all HAL ships, Zaandam has a large museum-quality art collection.  Zaandam's has a musical theme and includes guitars and artifacts relating to rock legends such as the Rolling Stones.

Zaandam's exterior features include a pool that can be enclosed with a retractable Magradome.  She also has a teak-covered outdoor promenade that wraps around the superstructure.

The ship tends to attract mature passengers.  However, she is equipped with extensive facilities for children and teens.
