The Holland America Ryndam was originally constructed in 1994 and refurbished to include modern amenities and styling in 2004. Carrying just 1,270 guests and weighing 55,819 tons, the Ryndam is a slightly smaller Holland America ship, providing passengers with a more intimate cruise experience. Holland America has provided special opportunities for Kids onboard, through Club HAL for kids ages 3 – 12 and The Loft and The Oasis for teens ages 13 – 17. Several dining venues and nightclubs can be found for adults to enjoy onboard, one highlight being the Crow’s Nest, offering panoramic views and a lively atmosphere.
