Ship Overview

Spacious public areas and plush accommodations feature a musically themed shipboard atmosphere. Inspired by the world's great music, artifacts and memorabilia from a variety of musical genres decorate the ship. You'll find musical instruments such as Bill Clinton's saxophone and signed guitars from Queen, Iggy Pop, Eric Clapton, and the Rolling Stones used as art objects throughout the ship. At the heart of the MS Zaandam in a soaring 3-story atrium is a baroque-style Dutch pipe organ, inspired by the traditional barrel organs still found on the streets of the Netherlands.
