Despite her smaller dimensions, ms Maasdam is a surprisingly roomy cruise ship. Her spacious staterooms feature home comforts such as air-conditioning, radio, DVD player and flat screen TV showing first-run films.
Cruise in a top-notch Deluxe Veranda Suite and you’ll also have your own whirlpool bath and shower, sitting area and mini-bar, plus floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto your own private veranda.
Public rooms are elegantly furnished and decorated with priceless artworks, among them an impressive monumental glass sculpture that shimmers the whole height of your cruise ship’s three-storey atrium.
The atmosphere on ms Maasdam is friendly and relaxed and you’ll enjoy nice little extra touches, such as complimentary hors d’oeuvres at cocktail hour when you’re deciding where to dine. You might want to dress up just a little to enjoy your cruise ship’s more formal dining venues but you’ll also find casual dining options where the atmosphere’s laid back.
If you’re the active type you’ll find your cruise ship has plenty of ways for you to burn off some energy. Work out at the gym, swim a few lengths of the pool, play tennis, traditional deck games or take a brisk promenade around the deck.
Lazy days can be spent lounging around the pool, with a cool drink by your side, or being pampered with numerous luxurious treatments at the Greenhouse Spa.
If you’re seeking inspiration, you’ll find fascinating talks about your next port of call, gourmet cookery demonstrations in the Culinary Arts Centre and a huge library with thousands of titles to choose from. The library also has internet access and comfortable music stations where you can listen to all your favourite tracks.
If you’ve brought the kids along, your crew will keep them happy and amused at Club HAL®, a kids’ club with fun activities for 3-12 year olds. While teens can chill out in the Loft, their own cool hangout onboard.
There are plenty of bars and lounges on ms Maasdam offering a wide choice of live music and entertainment, so you’re bound to find a venue to match your mood.
Take in a Las Vegas-style production in the Rembrandt Show Lounge, go for the jackpot in the casino or hit the dance floor in the Crow’s Nest Lounge – a lively night club venue with panoramic ocean views. There’s also a cinema onboard your cruise ship, screening all the latest, new-release movies.
In the Rotterdam Dining Room you can either opt for set dining times or you can just walk up when you’re ready. It’s a stunning two-tier restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, and serves five-course culinary creations, loving prepared by your master chefs.
Fancy a romantic dinner for two? You can’t go wrong in the Pinnacle Grill, an intimate, reservations-only restaurant with specialities like fabulous fresh seafood and Sterling Silver Beef on the menu.
The Lido restaurant is great place to grab a casual bite with the kids since it serves children’s menus and delicious, cooked-to-order dishes. It’s also the venue for your cruise ship’s mouth-watering midnight buffets.
