The luxurious new ms Zaandam is one of the newest members of Holland America's "next generation" of cruise ships. The Zaandam reflects a graceful combination of classic and state-of-the-art features found on board both the ms Rotterdam flagship and the Statendam-class vessels. Special features include an alternative restaurant, Internet Cafe, a third staircase for convenient access to public rooms and a children's play room, as well as more of the popular mini-suites with verandahs. The Zaandam's predominant theme is music and will be featured in the ship's artwork and interior design elements.
