\r\n <figcaption class=\"figure-caption p-3 bg-light rounded-bottom shadow-sm\">\r\n Holland America Line's Eurodam\r\n <\/figcaption>\r\n <\/figure>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n<p>Incorporating Holland America\u2019s signature one-of-a-kind experiences, <i>Eurodam<\/i> was designed for sophisticated cruisers who want to try something new on vacation. The ship\u2019s Music Walk entertainment complex lets passengers immerse themselves in the soulful Memphis lounge scene at B.B. King's Blues Club or savor classical favorites at Lincoln Center Stage. For travelers with more mainstream musical tastes, musicians deliver chart-topping favorites at the Billboard Onboard piano bar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Cruisers seeking more than just a tourist experience will enjoy Explorations Central. Here they can learn about the ship's ports of call. With BBC Earth Experiences, passengers can explore the natural world through groundbreaking concerts and films. Lifelong learners will also appreciate cooking workshops and demonstrations sponsored by America\u2019s Test Kitchen. And while the adults enhance their technology skills at a Microsoft digital workshop or try their luck in a casino tournament, younger cruisers can engage in scavenger hunts, themed parties, and arts and crafts through Club HAL. Plus, active travelers of all ages can take part in friendly competition on the ship's outdoor sports courts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><i>Eurdoam<\/i> entered service in 2008 and was refurbished in December 2015. The refurbishment added a number of <a href=https://cruiseline.com/"https:////cruiseline.com//ship//eurodam//features/">new venues and activity options<\/a>, including the Gallery Bar where cruisers can enjoy exciting new signature cocktails. The vessel also came away from the modernization with fully upgraded suites.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Eurodam itineraries and departure ports<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p><i>Eurodam<\/i> cruises range up to 27 days, voyaging throughout the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, the Mexican Riviera, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and the Panama Canal. Pacific Northwest cruises leave from Seattle and Vancouver, while voyages to tropical locations sail from either San Diego or Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Before you book<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p><b>This ship is best for:<\/b>\u00a0Travelers looking for a sophisticated cruise will appreciate the amenities and <a href=https://cruiseline.com/"https:////cruiseline.com//ship//eurodam//features//entertainment/">entertainment options<\/a> on <i>Eurodam<\/i>. From chamber music at Lincoln Center Stage to upscale dining venues such as Rudi\u2019s Sel de Mer, <i>Eurodam<\/i> offers choices that will appeal to cruisers with refined tastes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>You should know:<\/b>\u00a0Holland America's <i>Eurodam<\/i> is not a party ship and doesn\u2019t offer the variety of thrilling amenities that some larger cruise ships have. Cruisers looking for vibrant nightlife or amusement park-style rides should look into family-oriented mega-ships.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Activities on <i>Eurodam<\/i><\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Culture, learning, and entertainment come together to inspire many of <i>Eurodam's activities<\/i>. The ship\u2019s MusicWalk entertainment complex features vibrant live music venues for all tastes. At the Billboard Onboard piano bar, musicians play chart-toppers, while cruisers who prefer chamber music can enjoy classical favorites at Lincoln Center Stage, and B.B. King's Blues Club recreates the soulful Memphis music scene.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For travelers hoping to return home with a new skill, <i>Eurodam<\/i> offers cooking workshops and demos courtesy of America\u2019s Test Kitchen and a Windows digital workshop, where cruisers can learn how to edit their vacation photos and navigate the \u201ccloud.\u201d Passengers may also enjoy wine tastings, comedy shows, and learning more about the regions they visit at Explorations Central.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Eurodam ship highlights<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=https://cruiseline.com/"https:////cruiseline.com//ship//eurodam//features//spa-and-fitness/">Greenhouse Spa and Salon<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li>America\u2019s Test Kitchen workshop and demos<\/li>\r\n<li>BBC Earth Experiences<\/li>\r\n<li>MusicWalk area featuring Lincoln Center Stage, B.B.

The ship\u2019s Music Walk entertainment complex lets passengers immerse themselves in the soulful Memphis lounge scene at B.B. King's Blues Club or savor classical favorites at Lincoln Center Stage. For travelers with more mainstream musical tastes, musicians deliver chart-topping favorites at the Billboard Onboard piano bar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Cruisers seeking more than just a tourist experience will enjoy Explorations Central. Here they can learn about the ship's ports of call. With BBC Earth Experiences, passengers can explore the natural world through groundbreaking concerts and films. Lifelong learners will also appreciate cooking workshops and demonstrations sponsored by America\u2019s Test Kitchen. And while the adults enhance their technology skills at a Microsoft digital workshop or try their luck in a casino tournament, younger cruisers can engage in scavenger hunts, themed parties, and arts and crafts through Club HAL. Plus, active travelers of all ages can take part in friendly competition on the ship's outdoor sports courts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><i>Eurdoam<\/i> entered service in 2008 and was refurbished in December 2015. The refurbishment added a number of <a href=https://cruiseline.com/"https:////cruiseline.com//ship//eurodam//features/">new venues and activity options<\/a>, including the Gallery Bar where cruisers can enjoy exciting new signature cocktails. The vessel also came away from the modernization with fully upgraded suites.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Eurodam itineraries and departure ports<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p><i>Eurodam<\/i> cruises range up to 27 days, voyaging throughout the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, the Mexican Riviera, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and the Panama Canal. Pacific Northwest cruises leave from Seattle and Vancouver, while voyages to tropical locations sail from either San Diego or Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Before you book<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p><b>This ship is best for:<\/b>\u00a0Travelers looking for a sophisticated cruise will appreciate the amenities and <a href=https://cruiseline.com/"https:////cruiseline.com//ship//eurodam//features//entertainment/">entertainment options<\/a> on <i>Eurodam<\/i>. From chamber music at Lincoln Center Stage to upscale dining venues such as Rudi\u2019s Sel de Mer, <i>Eurodam<\/i> offers choices that will appeal to cruisers with refined tastes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>You should know:<\/b>\u00a0Holland America's <i>Eurodam<\/i> is not a party ship and doesn\u2019t offer the variety of thrilling amenities that some larger cruise ships have. Cruisers looking for vibrant nightlife or amusement park-style rides should look into family-oriented mega-ships.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Activities on <i>Eurodam<\/i><\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Culture, learning, and entertainment come together to inspire many of <i>Eurodam's activities<\/i>. The ship\u2019s MusicWalk entertainment complex features vibrant live music venues for all tastes. At the Billboard Onboard piano bar, musicians play chart-toppers, while cruisers who prefer chamber music can enjoy classical favorites at Lincoln Center Stage, and B.B. King's Blues Club recreates the soulful Memphis music scene.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For travelers hoping to return home with a new skill, <i>Eurodam<\/i> offers cooking workshops and demos courtesy of America\u2019s Test Kitchen and a Windows digital workshop, where cruisers can learn how to edit their vacation photos and navigate the \u201ccloud.\u201d Passengers may also enjoy wine tastings, comedy shows, and learning more about the regions they visit at Explorations Central.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Eurodam ship highlights<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=https://cruiseline.com/"https:////cruiseline.com//ship//eurodam//features//spa-and-fitness/">Greenhouse Spa and Salon<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li>America\u2019s Test Kitchen workshop and demos<\/li>\r\n<li>BBC Earth Experiences<\/li>\r\n<li>MusicWalk area featuring Lincoln Center Stage, B.B.

From fine dining in the ship\u2019s elegant main dining room to the Lido Market, which serves everything from coffee and pastries to hand-carved meats marketplace style, passengers enjoy a variety of complimentary meal options. Cruisers looking for a casual meal can grab a slice of New York-style pizza without leaving the pool area or hit up Dive-In for diner favorites, including some of the best burgers at sea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Passengers willing to spend a little extra for an upscale at-sea dining experience should be sure to reserve a table at one or more of the ship's varied specialty restaurants. <i>Eurodam\u2019s<\/i> intimate Pinnacle Grill features fare inspired by the U.S. Pacific Northwest, while Canaletto offers up authentic Italian dishes featuring freshly made pasta. Passengers can continue their worldwide taste tour with the Asian-inspired Tamarind, Nami Sushi, and Rudi\u2019s Sel de Mer, which features reimagined French classics.<\/p>","editorial_2":null,"meta_title":null,"meta_description":" \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n ","seo_meta_title":null,"seo_meta_description":null,"expedia_id":"405","rcl_id":null,"pic_cabins":"{\"id\":11658,\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/shipmedia.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com\\\/cabin\\\/holland_24\\\/24_580_cab_v_va_vb_vc_vd_ve_vf_vh_vq_vt_bal_320_SEP12.jpg\",\"name\":\"24_580_cab_v_va_vb_vc_vd_ve_vf_vh_vq_vt_bal_320_SEP12\",\"ship_id\":580,\"width\":320}","pic_dining":"{\"id\":4979,\"name\":\"Shopping Arcade\",\"slug\":\"shopping-arcade\",\"ship_id\":580,\"description\":\"Passengers can browse the onboard Shopping Arcade for souvenirs, luxury goods, clothing, and accessories.\",\"pic\":\"https:\\\/\\\/shipmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\\\/ship\\\/eurodam\\\/features\\\/6b6bcb21-9e13-4c4e-8435-2d9c39260446-fSlZARdjGs.jpg\",\"shipmate_id\":\"0D6vJh4y7m\",\"shipmate_category_name\":\"Shops\",\"shipmate_category_id\":\"YBy9QFHrDK\",\"photos\":1,\"reviews\":0}","imo":"9378448","mmsi":"245206000","pic_entertainment":"{\"id\":613,\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/shipmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\\\/ship\\\/eurodam\\\/entertainment\\\/3201391755_9fb5f2efe5_o.jpg\",\"name\":null,\"ship_id\":580,\"width\":null}","review_highlights":"[{\"id\":400690,\"object\":\"ship\",\"object_id\":580,\"noun\":\"holland america\",\"adjective\":null,\"count\":70,\"content\":\"The service onboard was wonderful which is consistent with the Holland America ships.\",\"created\":{\"date\":\"2015-08-20 02:26:58\",\"timezone_type\":3,\"timezone\":\"America\\\/New_York\"},\"updated\":{\"date\":\"2015-08-20 02:26:58\",\"timezone_type\":3,\"timezone\":\"America\\\/New_York\"}},{\"id\":400691,\"object\":\"ship\",\"object_id\":580,\"noun\":\"dining room\",\"adjective\":null,\"count\":34,\"content\":\"98 % of the food menu items are the same in the dining rooms and buffet.\",\"created\":{\"date\":\"2015-08-20 02:26:58\",\"timezone_type\":3,\"timezone\":\"America\\\/New_York\"},\"updated\":{\"date\":\"2015-08-20 02:26:58\",\"timezone_type\":3,\"timezone\":\"America\\\/New_York\"}},{\"id\":400692,\"object\":\"ship\",\"object_id\":580,\"noun\":\"grand turk\",\"adjective\":null,\"count\":15,\"content\":\"Greatly enjoyed 3 of the 4 ports which we visited - Grand Turk not so much!\",\"created\":{\"date\":\"2015-08-20 02:26:58\",\"timezone_type\":3,\"timezone\":\"America\\\/New_York\"},\"updated\":{\"date\":\"2015-08-20 02:26:58\",\"timezone_type\":3,\"timezone\":\"America\\\/New_York\"}}]","similar_ships":"[662,568,402]","bv_award_year":null,"bv_award":null,"description":"The Eurodam was the first in a new class of ships aptly called the Signature Class - an evolution in both style and design.

King’s Blues Club and “Dancing With the Stars” ballroom dancing lessons on sea days.

Holland America Line rankings

Expert review of Holland America Line

Best for

Multigenerational families and (generally older) seasoned travelers.

Not for

Kids or kids at heart. If you’re seeking sporty recreation or a constant party, a Holland America cruise will seem staid.

We love

  • The expertise of Holland America's crew and staff. 
  • Elite excursions — like an after-hours tour of St. Petersburg’s State Hermitage Museum —give you “backstage” access.
  • Port-focused itineraries that overnight at docks encourage guests to explore places on their own, engaging with cities rather than speed-dating them.  
  • The intimate public spaces, such as the Silk Den, Pinnacle Wine Bar, Explorer’s Lounge, and well-stocked New York Times-branded library have a way of making larger ships feel homey. 
  • The co-branded live entertainment options, including the B.B. King’s Blues Club and “Dancing With the Stars” lessons, are a nice touch.
  • Holland America's generously sized staterooms are 25 percent larger than competitors’ cabins. 

We could live without

  • Holland America's Lido deck dining: It’s charmless, crowded, and one of few lunch options.
  • When it’s too cool for the pool, some teens and tweens could feel under-stimulated without the bowling alleys, skating rinks, and rock-climbing walls that keep kids amused on other lines.
