The Zaandam is one of Holland America Line's "R" class ships, a smaller vessel offering 10 decks and space for 1,432 guests, so it feels far more intimate than some of the larger ships at sea. Music runs through the ship's décor, with guitars signed by Eric Clapton, Iggy Pop and the Rolling Stones adding character to the surroundings.
The Zaandam sails from Vancouver to Alaska every Wednesday between May and September.
Piano Bar
A cheerful spot where guests join a pianist for a singalong and a bit of socialising.
Ocean Bar
Set at the top of the atrium, this popular lounge is a great choice for cocktails in lively surroundings.
Wajang Theatre
Expect striking visuals, elaborate costumes and shows covering a range of genres, plus daily afternoon films.
The Dining Room
Whether you're after breakfast, a leisurely lunch or dinner, the menu here has something for everyone. Dishes are developed with input from the Culinary Council, seven renowned chefs working alongside the ship's own executive chefs. Dinner favourites include boneless lamb loin en croute and rosemary roasted chicken, alongside regional specialities and vegetarian options. Wines are selected by the ship's Wine Curator, wine critic James Suckling.
