Zaandam is a cruise ship owned and operated by Holland America Line, named for the city of Zaandam near Amsterdam. It was built by Italy’s Fincantieri yard in Venice and was delivered in 2000. She is part of the 'R-Class' and a sister ship to the Volendam, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam.
It has a musical theme and is decorated with artifacts and memorabilia from different musical genres. Items such as a Baroque style Dutch pipe organ and guitars signed by the Rolling Stones, Carlos Santana and Queen can be seen. One of the aft stairways also has a saxophone signed by former US President Clinton.
