Holland America Eurodam

Overview

Holland America's first Signature Class ship, the MS Eurodam was launched in 2008 and underwent a major makeover in 2015. During the refurbishment, the Eurodam was fitted with a gorgeous new Gallery Bar next to the Casino, along with new dining options, new entertainment venues and upgrades to some of the suites.

The Eurodam carries 2,104 guests with a crew of 929 and was the largest ship in the fleet when it was launched. In July of 2017 Oprah Winfrey launched the inaugural "Share the Adventure" cruise aboard Eurodam, an exclusive partnership with Oprah Magazine O, with activities including tai chi, meditation, an onboard O’s book club, and healthy cooking demonstrations. Guests interested in a Musical Experience will enjoy the full Music Walk™ with new venues, including Lincoln Center Stage, B.B. King's Blues Club and Billboard Onboard.

Starting in 2017, the Eurodam has been cruising from the west coast of the U.S. From May to September, the ship operates Alaska Inside Passage cruises out of Seattle; from October to early April, she cruises out of San Diego, visiting Mexico, Hawaii and the South Pacific Islands of French Polynesia.

Entertainment & Activities

In 2015, after the refurbishment of the Eurodam, it became the first ship in the HAL fleet with a MusicWalk. This popular area of the ship is just outside the main dining hall and serves as a central entertainment area. After dinner, stroll over to B.B. King's All Stars in the Queen's Lounge, or listen to classical music at Lincoln Center Stage. If you prefer to get involved, there are sing-alongs in the Billboard Onboard piano lounge with dueling pianos.

Enrichment programs go on throughout the day, including computer workshops and classes, cooking classes, fitness seminars and wine tastings. Through a partnership with the recipe development experts at America's Test Kitchen, passengers can attend cooking seminars and learn how to make gourmet dishes.

In the evening, the Mainstage lights up with two music and dance performances daily, along with comedy and magic shows. On select cruises, you'll see the BBC Earth Experience, created via a partnership between Holland America and the BBC. On Alaska cruises, the performance of "Alaska in Concert" combines live music with a backdrop of breathtaking footage from the BBC Earth television series, "Wild Alaska."

The non-smoking casino on Deck 2 midship offers slot machines, gaming tables, and regular tournaments such as Texas Hold'em and lotto drawings. For those who want some physical activity after a day of enjoying the cuisine, there are volleyball and basketball courts, ping pong tables and two pools.
