Write a Review on this Ship

Overview

Like Statendam, there is a more spacious feel on this ship, as it carries fewer passengers than some others of a similar size. Almost identical to Statendam, Ryndam and Maasdam.

Staff are friendly and keen to please, however, regular passengers have said the service is not as good as it was. However, this is being addressed with the recent introduction of HAL’s Signature of Excellence programme, which promises a greater attention to service.

Suitability

The ship suits older passengers, mainly Americans. For older women travelling alone, there are the traditional gentlemen host dance partners on board. Not recommended for families.

Recent developments have included more flexible dining options, making the cruise less regimented.
