Ship:
Lovely new ship, everything is lovely and new. Public areas are really nice. Shame the smoking is still allowed in the casino and its in a public area you have to walk through, it also spills onto the deck below. However we did ...

We chose this itinerary because it offered us 5 days in Iceland. We also enjoyed 2 days in Norway and 2 in Scotland.
The Ship was a little dated, however the service was great.
Our stateroom (Neptune Suite) was spacious and ...

Lido food was very good, however did become very redundant.
Bathroom in room was one of the ...

We chose this cruise to see the Baltic ports we had heard so much about, but also to see the Shetland Isles and a bit more of Scotland than we've seen before. That part of the cruise was our favorite (We're not city lovers.) The Baltic ...

We choose this cruise for the ports and we were not deceived, although you need to be prepared since there is very few sea days. Beautiful areas to visit by sea.
We found that the food was of less quality than our previous HA cruise as ...

Great ports of call but many days lost to illness. I have cruised eight previous times and this is the first time I have ever been sick. That being said---MANY guests were very ill on this cruise. My cabin attendant did an excellent job ...

Embarkation was good. Greeted by nice friendly efficient staff. Our stateroom was very nice. It was modern, new and clean. The shower recess is the largest I have ever had on a cruise ship. The toilet is at an angle and my knees jam ...

We had never sailed with Holland America before this trip and it is safe to say that we won't be sailing with Holland America in the near future. It started well - check-in was smooth and efficient - all staff involved were friendly and ...

Chose this cruise because to the location and places visited, also we had cruised with Holland America in 2011 and thought the cruise line was really value for money. This trip everything was just subtly less so. No major disappointments, ...

The Baltic Adventure Itinerary was an extraordinary draw for everyone with whom we spoke on this trip. Still can't believe we have been to all the countries we visitied! Booked almost all of the excursions privately and toured with ...

It was everything that we expected from an HAL cruise.
The Zuiderdam is a good medium size ship .
The public rooms are nice.

We wanted to visit these ports and were not disappointed. The ship service and food was superior. We avoid crowded ship excursions but did go to Hamburg with HAL and was very pleased,
Our cabin was more than suitable with lots of ...

Zuiderdam was in good shape even though there was a little wear and tear due to her age. Her decor is a little "loud" for my tastes [i.e. not quite as elegant as other ships in the fleet] but fresh flowers are still all over the ...

I am just writing this review in case anyone has the same questions as I did. The itinerary on this cruise speaks for itself, I can’t imagine a better northern European itinerary so I will focus on the ship itself.

Holland started the cruise out perfectly. We were met at CPH by Holland representatives. Since the flight arrived at 7:30 am, too early to board the ship, they provided us with a 2 hour tour of Copenhagen. Embarkation went very smoothly ...

We chose this port intensive cruise because of timing price and airfare. First time sailing with HAL, not very exciting. The ship was clean, but not updated. The hallways in the cabin areas were very bland and old looking. The ...

We liked the itinerary and as we had travelled with HA twice before, and the price was good as a late booker, we had no hesitation in joining this cruise. The recent refurbishment (dry dock) gave a much needed modern vibrant decor for the ...

My intent was to explore the Baltic and particularly St. Petersburg. The ports of call were interesting but another day in St. Petersburg would have made the time spent more relaxing. Since I have travelled extensively with HAL, four star, ...

I believe Holland American Line only does this trip several times in the summer , and it is one of the few that includes the far Northcape of Norway. We took it primarily for the scenery, and we were certainly not disappointed! There was ...
