ms Ryndam
At 720-feet, the ms Ryndam is designed to carry fewer guests while providing more space for maximum comfort. Many staterooms feature commanding ocean views and have private verandahs.
With a Dutch worldwide exploration theme, the decor of the ms Ryndam features art and artifacts from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. A muzzle-loading canon from the 17th Century, found on the floor of the North Sea is one of the more unusual pieces. At the heart of the ms Ryndam a three-story atrium features a monumental fountain created by sculptor Gilbert Lebigre in Pietrasanta, Italy. Guests aboard this spacious ship encounter elegance at every turn - from a string quartet serenade in the splendid Rotterdam Dining Room to the two-deck Vermeer Show Lounge.
Join us aboard the ms Ryndam in 2008-2009 as she sails to Australia, New Zealand and the friendly islands of the South Pacific. If exploring the natural beauty of Alaska's Inside Passage and Glacier Bay sounds enticing, take a look at one of our many Ryndam Alaska cruise itineraries. For a warmer cruise vacation, the ms Ryndam also sails to the Caribbean and Mexico.
