America Zaandam

Holland America Cruise Lines has initiated a program of up-scaling their cruise ships, cruise line image and passenger cruise experience. This initiative is called the Signature of Excellence program and will soon be experienced by cruise passengers on all Holland America cruises.

Holland America has five ships, namely Statendam, Veendam, Ryndam, Zaandam, and Volendam, which offer small cruises on the Inside Passage and Glacier Bay.

There is Cruise Ship godmothers are entrusted with the guidance of the ship to and around their destinations, by blessing the ship, for the safety of its crew and passengers throughout their journey. For the past 4,000 years, the tradition of christening or naming a ship has taken place. Royalty, well known celebrities and even a Disney character have been honoured as godmothers of ships.

One controversial choice of cruise ship godmothers was Holland America Zaandam in 2000. American child star twins Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen were given the honour, they were in fact too young to cruise alone and also, unable to drink the champagne as they were under 21 years of age. This was an attempt to appeal to the younger people, to introduce cruise to a new generation.

When it comes to dining, says America Zaandam , “Youngsters get the full ‘Fun Ship’ treatment with expanded children’s menus offering a variety of kids’ favorites as well as a daily junior special.” The menus are included on the back of a coloring and activity book featuring word finds, mazes, tic-tac-toe, crossword puzzles, connect- the-dots, and other games.

The tradition of America Zaandam ship is an important role and one that we have seen has much historical value, blessing the ship for its voyages ahead, the Zaandam is entrusted and honoured to be a part of this. The people who bless these ships have changed reflecting the cultural shift in society.

Whenever you want to plan a cruise trip with your family the best option for you is to select fantastic America Zaandam.
