It is a close sister to Volendam, sharing the class's musical decor theme, including a Dutch pipe organ and a collection of instruments signed by touring musicians. A dry dock in Freeport, Bahamas in early 2025 rebuilt the Greenhouse Spa's thermal suite, refreshed the fitness center and library, and added an Art Studio and a Signature Studio for private photo sessions. Onboard dining includes the main Dining Room, the buffet style Lido Market, the Pinnacle Grill steakhouse, and the Italian restaurant Canaletto. The ship sails longer itineraries such as Grand Voyages and calls at smaller ports that larger vessels cannot reach, with seasonal deployments spanning Alaska, the Panama Canal, the Amazon, and the South Pacific. ## Dining 6 venues ### Included in your fare | Restaurant | Type | |------|------| | Dining Room | Continental | | Dive-In | Burgers | | Explorations Café | Café | | Lido Market | Buffet | ### Specialty dining | Restaurant | Type | |------|------| | Canaletto | Italian | | Pinnacle Grill | Steakhouse | ## Routes Zaandam sails Each route groups every departure of the same trip, so you can compare dates and prices in one place. - [7 nights from Vancouver](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/holland-america-line/zaandam/7-nights-from-vancouver-glacier-bay-juneau-ketchikan.md) · Juneau, Tracy Arm Fjord, Skagway, and Glacier Bay · 36 departures · from €894 - [18 nights from Vancouver](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/holland-america-line/zaandam/18-nights-from-vancouver-anchorage-ak-glacier-bay-homer-ak.md) · Sitka, Anchorage AK, Homer AK, and Kodiak Island · 3 departures · from €2,879 - [7 nights from San Diego](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/holland-america-line/zaandam/7-nights-from-san-diego-cabo-san-lucas-mazatlan-puerto-vallarta.md) · Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas · 2 departures · from €869 - [12 nights from San Diego](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/holland-america-line/zaandam/12-nights-from-san-diego-cabo-san-lucas-ensenada-guaymas.md) · Cabo San Lucas, Guaymas, Topolobampo, and La Paz · 2 departures · from €1,179 ## Upcoming sailings on Zaandam 59 upcoming sailings on Zaandam.
