Shore excursions offer you the chance to enjoy each island's most intriguing entertainment and adventures. These tours are a wonderful enhancement to your pre and post-cruise stay. Each destination offering its own beauty, character and fun - all waiting for you to discover.



The islands are calling: the thunder of lava-spewing Kilauea, the pulsating beat of the Hawaiian hand drum, the whisper of palm fronds in tradewind breezes. Listen, and you'll hear the hush of Kauai's Fern Grotto, the ceaseless wind of Oahu's Nuuanu Pali, the color in a Maui rainbow.

Night Life aboard the Holland America Cruise Lines

Las Vegas and Broadway Style Shows
Nighttime? That's showtime. The time when your Holland America ship really shines, dazzling you with great, big beautiful shows. Real Las Vegas- and Broadway-style productions in the dazzling two-tiered show lounge feature professional dancers and top entertainers decked out in gorgeous costumes designed by Oscar-nominated Bob Mackie. With special lighting, musical scores and choreography by Emmy award-winning Anita Mann.

You'll see a brand new extravaganza virtually every evening. The playbill may include an unbelievably talented illusionist, a top-name vocalist, a hilariously funny comedian. A new galaxy of stars every night.

On your way, you make an amazing discovery: The Late Night Snack, tonight's being a sinfully delicious spread where everything--tortes, cakes, souffles--is made of chocolate. A tough act to beat.

Barry Manilow's Copacabana
"Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl." Catch the rhythms of the hottest show on the high seas: Barry Manilow's sensational Copacabana, playing on selected sailings of the Ryndam, Statendam and Volendam. (No other cruise line has licensed an original Broadway-style show of this caliber from a major recording artist.)

Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve
Relive the moment the clock struck AD 2000 at a special millennium party. Countdown hosted via video by Dick Clark; live music and production number by the cruise staff.

Children's Programs on Holland America Cruise Lines

Thanks to Club HAL, a special program that offers oceans of fun for guests 5 through 17, the entire family can have the vacation of their dreams. You snorkeling in crystal blue waters, the kids building sand castles on the beach. Or vice versa.

It all begins with a special Welcome Aboard meeting the first night of the cruise with our full-time youth coordinator and continues throughout the cruise with a dedicated daily youth program filled with fun: storytelling, crafts and candy bar bingo for the little kids; putt-putt golf, pool parties and video games for tweens and teens.

And the fun lasts well into the night with movies, pizza and disco parties, so you can enjoy your evening knowing the kids are having a good time properly supervised.

Food to please the most finicky eaters. Call it what you will--finicky, particular, hard-to-please--the kids will tell you it's simply a matter of taste. Which is why we've designed a menu that includes their favorites: hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, fish n' chips, chicken dippers and more.

Bolstered by the fresh salt air, your kids just may surprise you with their new appetites for life.
