This sister of three of the fine Holland American Line cruises, prides itself on always being very clean and superbly designed to avoid passenger congestion, this vessel has plenty of surrounding decks, a casino and a lovely library with a large selection of books and great relaxing atmosphere. The Ryndam has six cabins with wheelchair accessibility, over 150 cabins with balconies and more than 500 cabins with sea view. All the cabins are neatly decorated with a lot of space for guests and living, others have a separate living room with a TV and others with a private dining space for intimate catered dinners. The penthouse suite is the largest accommodation on the ship and it comes with everything a cruiser could wish for. The main dining room of the Ryndam is the Rotterdam lounge with possible fix or open seatings, good food and great window views designed to open your appetite and help you enjoy your dining experiences on the ship. The Pinnacle Grill restaurant was recently introduced with obligatory reservation and a great menu with seafood and a large choice of steak dishes. For casual dining with a smoking section you can always visit the Lido cafe, this last one is open seatings for breakfast, lunch and dinners served in an appetizing environment. The Vermeer Show lounge is the Rydan's main entertainment room, this facility is spread over two floors and offers some interesting and very well rehearsed cabaret shows. And for some strictly come dancing night you can always head to the Crow's Nest 's dance floor and lounge.
