Eurodam overview
Incorporating Holland America’s signature one-of-a-kind experiences, Eurodam was designed for sophisticated cruisers who want to try something new on vacation. The ship’s Music Walk entertainment complex lets passengers immerse themselves in the soulful Memphis lounge scene at B.B. King's Blues Club or savor classical favorites at Lincoln Center Stage. For travelers with more mainstream musical tastes, musicians deliver chart-topping favorites at the Billboard Onboard piano bar.
Cruisers seeking more than just a tourist experience will enjoy Explorations Central. Here they can learn about the ship's ports of call. With BBC Earth Experiences, passengers can explore the natural world through groundbreaking concerts and films. Lifelong learners will also appreciate cooking workshops and demonstrations sponsored by America’s Test Kitchen. And while the adults enhance their technology skills at a Microsoft digital workshop or try their luck in a casino tournament, younger cruisers can engage in scavenger hunts, themed parties, and arts and crafts through Club HAL. Plus, active travelers of all ages can take part in friendly competition on the ship's outdoor sports courts.
Eurdoam entered service in 2008 and was refurbished in December 2015. The refurbishment added a number of new venues and activity options, including the Gallery Bar where cruisers can enjoy exciting new signature cocktails. The vessel also came away from the modernization with fully upgraded suites.
