What our customers say

"We had been encouraged to take a cruise through the Panama Canal and we were happy that we did. We made the most of the two days prior to and after the cruise. Seeing much of Miami Beach, Little Havana and the Everglades Park, And then, in San Diego, we visited Coronado, Balboa Park and its museums, Old San Diego, the USS Midway and the Gaslamp Quarter. A good experience on board the Zaandam with plenty to do to occupy us on the several sea days. We enjoyed some interesting wildlife, cultural and historical excursions in Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexico. Sadly, we did not have sufficient time to fully appreciate Cartagena as the quay is a little from the old city. However, the transition through the Panama was wonderful and quite different to other sea and major river locks we have encountered. " view more

Sadly, we did not have sufficient time to fully appreciate Cartagena as the quay is a little from the old city. However, the transition through the Panama was wonderful and quite different to other sea and major river locks we have encountered.

Couple 12 Sep 2023

Overall great trip. Interesting places with 3 sea days. Although older ship still looking good. Fast lifts. Just about everything done through Navigator App. Dining experience spoiled with early Dinner time of 5pm too early and 7.30pm too late or Dynamic dinning with long queues. AC on ship very cold especially in theatre. Staff excellent on whole but slightly understaffed. If you stay in Boston watch out for unexpected additional tourist tax of 25$ per night + local tax on top.

Couple 11 Sep 2023

Had an excellent time. Ship well maintained for being an older ship. Crew amazing. Itinerary was amazing. Canada and New England.

Couple 19 Aug 2023
