The ms Ryndam is the first Holland America ship with all Signature of Excellence enhancements! The 1,258 passenger Ryndam offers a great way to see many destinations. The new enhancements include four dining seatings, verandah concierge service and early embarkation. Luxurious new bedding, towels and massage showerheads in all staterooms. Another change was an update to the onboard amenities and services, with new enrichment programs, and a higher level of service provided the ms Ryndam offers a new Holland America cruise experience. New facilities also making their debut on the Ryndam are: the Greenhouse Spa, offering state-of-the-art treatment rooms, a thermal suite and hydro-pool, a new Explorations Cafe offers an exciting venue for learning about the places you visit with its extensive collection of maps, books and DVDs. There will also be upgraded Kids' Center and Youth Program, with more space and activities designed to provide kids with supervised age-appropriate entertainment choices. Teens will now have their own area in which to socialize and have fun. Last but not least is a new Culinary Arts Theater, which gives food and wine lovers the chance to participate in guest chef presentations, demonstration events and cooking classes. The Ryndam is designed to carry fewer passengers than most in her class, making her one of the most spacious at sea! Themed around Dutch worldwide exploration you'll find the decor features art and antiques from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Ms Ryndam is up to date with all the modern facilities you will find on a Superliner, as well as offering a more intimate cruise experience and some of the finest service at sea. |
