Holland America Line: Ryndam

Statendam Class review covers: Maasdam, Ryndam, Statendam, Veendam

Favorites

Best Place to Escape the Crowds: A padded steamer chair on the teak promenade deck is our favorite cocoon. You'll never want to leave.

Best Dessert: It just might be the best in the worldHolland America Line's signature bread-and-butter pudding with a creamy sauce. Ask for the recipe.

Our Favorite Spot for a Nightcap: Popular with the after-dinner crowd, yet quiet enough for conversation, the Ocean Bar hits just the right balance for late-night socializing.

Best Extra Touches: As you board, you are serenaded by musicians and escorted to your cabin, where you'll find a signature HAL-logo canvas tote bag. Other deluxe touches include complimentary shoeshine service and terry fingertip towels in public restrooms.

Our Choice for Outdoor Dining: Weather permitting, an evening poolside barbecue buffet is usually scheduled during every cruise.
