Or, head to the Greenhouse Spa & SalonĀ® to rejuvenate with a therapeutic spa treatment. The Kids Club will keep younger guests entertained with a variety of fun events and activities, while you can unwind by the pool or enjoy a Pilates class at the Fitness Center.

In the evening, delight in a tantalizing meal at one of the ship's restaurants, and afterward, enjoy a world-class performance at the stunning World Stage, adding a touch of culture to your night. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or both, a day at sea will be full of unforgettable experiences.

Norway and Iceland 4 , NSW, Australia, Jul 2023
Undoubtedly the best holiday we have had. The Rotterdam is a new ship so everything was clean and worked. The staff were beyond praise - nothing was too difficult and they went out of their way to make the experience an unforgettable one. The locality certainly helped. It is one thing to read a description of a Norwegian fjord - it is entirely different ...read more to actually be in one. This cruise took us deep into several stunning examples. The Captain even executed a 360 degree turn in one so that the full experience was open to every point on the ship. Onboard, there was something for everyone, even a grumpy old curmudgeon like me. Food was great, a wide range of drinks catered for all and the entertainment was excellent. Totally recommend the whole package.
Norway cruise with Holland America 7 , QLD, Australia, Jun 2023
We had a lovely cruise to the top of Norway. Lovely ship and great service. Global Journeys were easy to deal with.
