Noordam

Named for the Northern compass point, Noordam dazzles with museum-quality art and lavish staterooms. Guests of this Vista Class cruise ship will have their pick of onboard activities. Watch dramatic footage of natural wonders set to live music at BBC Earth In Concert. Listen to pianists play favourite hits at Billboard Onboard. Get moving with a pilates class at the fitness centre. Or savour the delights of numerous specialty restaurants. The Pinnacle Grill serves the juiciest steak at sea and Canaletto beckons with tantalising Italian dishes. These name just two of many dining options.

Ship Reviews

Our first cruise- and it was great. Excellent service, amazing gym, comfortable cabin, lots of bars and nooks to hang out watching the scenery , and good food! We bought the “have it all package “ which was very worthwhile for us. Staff was very nice and helpful . We really enjoyed the game/trivia team- Ingrid , Vikas and of course Tomas , who just kept us laughing every time we heard his voice! The house band was great as well! Although most of the activities were not really for us, it was great that at any given time there was something going on. Did not encounter any loud drunks or party goers. Room temperature was perfect. Finding our way around the ship was pretty easy after a couple of days . This was one of the best trips we have had . We will definitely come back for another cruise!

My husband and I recently returned from a 14-day Alaska cruise aboard the Noordam, and it was an incredible experience! While the ship may not be one of the newest or fanciest, I absolutely loved its classic décor and elegant atmosphere. It gave us a warm, timeless feeling that made everything more special. Here are the highlights of our trip: 1. Exceptional Service from Crew From the captain to the servers, everyone made us feel right at home. The service was warm, genuine, and truly exceptional. The Cruise Director was full of energy and so much fun! Madden and others at the main dining room front desk welcomed us with such warmth every time. Level one customer service deck Angelus and the team really helped to reslove any our concerns quickly. 2. Scenic Route The Noordam’s itinerary is perfect for glacier lovers and nature enthusiasts. We were able to see more glaciers and breathtaking scenery than we expected—an absolute dream for any Alaska cruise. 3. Delicious Dining The food was excellent across the board—from breakfast and lunch to afternoon tea and dinner. The atmosphere in the dining room was lovely, and the service was top-notch. A special thanks to Paolo, Jason, Angus, John, and the rest of the dining team for their professionalism and kindness. 4. Spotless Cabins Our stateroom was cleaned daily with great care. Mohammad and the housekeeping team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, making us feel truly cared for. 5. Fun & Enriching Activities We really enjoyed learning about Holland America’s history and Alaska’s unique culture. The onboard music and parties were so much fun and gave us memories we’ll never forget. 6. Great Fitness Facilities The gym and swimming areas were clean, well-equipped, and very convenient. It was easy to stay active and relaxed during the cruise. Overall, we felt welcomed, pampered, and entertained every day. Thank you to everyone on the Noordam for giving us a trip to remember!

I rarely write reviews but we are just back from Alaska (yesterday) and want to help those going on the Noordam this Alaska season. The ship itself is not showing wear at all. It seems to have just had a facelift. Cabins, public areas and dining areas were all clean, bright and impressive. We were in a balcony cabin on deck 5. It's small but adequate. Very quiet. Plenty of hot water. There are many elevators and we never waited long. Dining: it's Alaska and people tended to NOT dress up. Many folks wearing jeans and tee shirts to dinner. Even on formal nights, there were few people "dressed up". Dinners in the main dining room were good. The service was always very good and there were enough choices. Always fresh fish of some sort. The food almost always arrived hot. The bread and rolls were always excellent. Desserts were good to very good. Breakfast in the dining room was usually a disappointment. Service was too slow and the waiters seemed confused looking at the order sheets constantly. Only once did my food arrive hot. The servers do try hard to please guests and they are always friendly and polite. Breakfast and lunch buffet in the Lido is a major hassle. There is an abundance of good choices that are well prepared but good luck finding a place to sit. It is like this every day! The made to order burgers and chicken by the pool are excellent. You place your order and they give you a beeper. It never took more than 5-10 minutes to get a well prepared burger and fries. My go to spot. The 2 specialty restaurants serve excellent food. The steak was very good in Pinnacle and a veal chop at the italian restaurant was excellent. Entertainment: dance shows were well done with great graphics and lighting. The comedians were good. Rolling Stone lounge has an excellent cover band. They always pulled in a crowd. Final point: ditch most of the summer clothes...opt for long sleeves and sweaters, sweatshirts. It was usually chilly and damp in ports. Hope this helps you be better prepared than we were.
