Designed to carry fewer passengers than others in her class, the ms Ryndam is among the most spacious ships at sea and the perfect choice for those who wish to see the world in style. Themed around Dutch worldwide exploration, the decor features art and artifacts from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Guests aboard Ryndam encounter elegance at every turn - from a string quartet serenade in the splendid dining room to the two-deck Vermeer Show Lounge named for the master painter.



The ms Ryndam has set sail with all Signature of Excellence enhancements complete. The changes range from stateroom amenities – such as deluxe towels and bath robes, DVD players, flat-screen TVs, and massage showerheads in our spacious staterooms – to brand-new public areas and programs that will raise the bar on premium cruising.

Signature of Excellence enhancements are scheduled on every Holland America Line ship, with many already in place across the fleet. Here are just a few of the exciting elements of this $225 million dollar transformation now featured on the ms Ryndam:

Explorations Café –
Powered by The New York Times: A welcoming respite where your clients can sip a latté, browse through the most extensive libraries at sea, work on crossword puzzles or enjoy a wide selection of music while in a comfortable, living room-type setting.
Culinary Arts Center:
A theater featuring a state-of-the art show kitchen, gives guests an up-close view of the cooking action through a series of cooking demonstrations, tasting events and intimate cooking classes.
Club HAL:
A more comprehensive Youth Program and expanded kids facilities offer a wide range of safe, supervised, age-specific activities for kids ages 3 to 12. These facilities are the most elaborate of any cruise line and are designed to provide younger passengers with entertaining choices and parents with peace of mind knowing their children are enjoying supervised fun.
The Oasis and The Loft:
Unmatched anywhere in the industry, The Oasis gives teens their own space to relax and socialize. It is the perfect space to soak up some rays, hang out in comfy hammocks, and dance by a one-of-a-kind, nine-foot-high waterfall and cave. The Loft, designed to resemble a New York artist’s loft, is a teens-only lounge and features a special passageway to the Oasis.
The Greenhouse Spa: One of the top full-service luxury resort spas in the world, this tranquil respite offers unprecedented pampering, the latest exotic treatments, breathtaking views, and cutting edge fitness facilities.

Crows Nest:
A fashionable gathering spot for cruise guests who enjoy sweeping views and sightseeing by day, and drinks, DJs, and dancing by night.
