Atrium

Dancing puppets and hundreds of pipes grace the fanciful Dutch band organ that is the centerpiece of the ms Zaandam's three-story atrium. Fish-scale tiles, naked nymphs and ornate fretwork complete the grand, exciting picture.

Lido Aft Pool

Warm days with light, salty breezes are made for lounging poolside with an icy beverage in one hand and an epic novel in the other. Does this count as doing something or doing nothing? You'll soon know...

Rotterdam Dining Room

Amid chandeliers and palm trees, dine in the exotic Rotterdam Dining Room where the chef's imagination is given free rein. That's how temptations like spicy gazpacho, portabello mushroom pot pie, cherry-glazed duck breast and chocolate profiteroles make it from the kitchen to your table.

Pinnacle Grill

Guests who dine at the intimate, reservations-only Pinnacle Grill enjoy a dining experience themed to reflect the Pacific Northwest. Candlelight and fine décor create a romantic ambiance that sets the stage for fresh Northwest dishes and select wines.

Explorer's Lounge

Delicate shades of the earth and ocean -- these are the essential ingredients for the understated elegance of the Explorer's Lounge. This meeting place for friends old and new offers intimate seating for small gatherings.

Crow's Nest

The lively Crow's Nest offers a world-class view of the course ahead. A piano serenade, a lively conversation, a cocktail before dinner, a nightcap afterwards -- with these sweeping ocean vistas, you'll never forget you're at sea.

Lisa -

I wish I could take credit for the pictures, but they are actually all official HAL pictures from the HAL website!

But I've been on the Zaandam. Loved her!

I love the quaint feeling of a smaller ship!
