As our guest, your comfort is our priority. The
moment you step on board, a white-gloved steward will escort you to
your stateroom where you will find all the comforts of home, as well
as a few of the surprises that have made Holland America Line the
world's finest premium cruise line.
Throughout your voyage with us, attentive cabin stewards provide
unobtrusive service, replenishing ice and arranging fresh fruit,
turning down beds and leaving Sweet Dreams chocolates. Our gracious
crew members dedicate themselves to your satisfaction and are known
for impeccable five-star service.
On average, our staterooms are 25 percent larger than on other ships
in our category, giving you more room to stretch out. All staterooms
include self-controlled air conditioning; a telephone and closed
circuit TV; luxurious soaps, shampoos and lotions; music channel
system; and 24-hour complimentary room service.
