For a mid-sized ship there are ample activities for guests to enjoy, and most of it is free of charge. Of special note are the hands-on cooking demonstrations held in the Queen’s Lounge in an elaborate show kitchen. These are free, though wine tastings and cocktail mixing lessons carry an add-on charge.

Although Holland America doesn’t cater specifically to the family audience, there are two dedicated areas for kids—one for teens the other for pre-teens.

Activities, classes and fitness sessions are detailed in the ship’s daily newsletter.
