Holland America Eurodam Overview

Although the Eurodam is the largest of the Holland America ships sailing Alaska, it is midsized compared to other cruise ships on similar routes. This gives passengers the best of two worlds: The personal service of a small ship with the plentiful amenities and options of a large one. Some of these include Vegas-style shows at the Mainstage, cooking workshops with America's Test Kitchen, cocktails in the Explorers Lounge, and themed buffet stations at the Lido Market. In between port calls, passengers can stretch their legs on the teak promenade deck. The Signature-class ship has a Northern European design and Dutch themed interiors, lending a classic touch to the freshly updated ship.
