The Koningsdam Comes Alive With Music

Aboard the Koningsdam, indulge in a tasting and wine-blending workshop with Chateau Ste. Michelle. Blend your own from five red varietals. Afterward, sip a bottle of your creation in your stateroom as you leave port.

Or take part in one of many workshops at the Culinary Arts Center — presented by Food & Wine magazine. When hunger comes calling, head to Tamarind for an aromatic Southeast Asian, Japanese, or Chinese meal. Go for authentic Italian at Canaletto or a meal to go at Lido Market. 

For a bird’s eye view, head to the Crow’s Nest at the pinnacle of the Koningsdam, and watch the world sail by while sipping a cocktail. For “wow” chamber music, head to Lincoln Center Stage. B.B. King's All-Stars Band offers a soulful show at sea, while Billboard Onboard is the place to hear chart-topping tunes.

Queen's Lounge

The iconic Queen’s Lounge has been completely re-imagined as a striking two-tiered nightclub. Adam D. Tihany once again drew inspiration for the space from musical instruments, nodding to the graceful curves and making extensive use of wood, fluid waveforms, and light. By day, the beautiful room hosts presentations, speakers, and other special events. At night, The Queen’s Lounge will host the popular B.B. King’s Blues Club, showcasing the sounds of Memphis performed by an amazing eight-piece band. And following the evening’s entertainment, the room transforms yet again, into a late-night dance club fueled by state-of-the-art sound and special LED lighting effects.

 

Billboard Onboard

Billboard Onboard will showcase the talents of live musicians — including two pianists, a guitarist and a DJ — who will take turns performing dynamic shows centered around the interesting facts and figures of the music industry as chronicled by Billboard. Between the nightly sets and songs, guests can sing and play along with trivia questions presented on screens throughout the room.

 

World Stage

Breaking from the line’s traditionally styled theaters, the World Stage is a flexible space that can have multiple stage configurations, ranging from in-the-round to the more conventional proscenium staging. The theater will initially host five new productions performed in repertory by a cast sourced from around the world. Entertainment meets innovation with a new main theater design that surrounds the audience with a 270-degree LED screen. At two stories high and 250 feet long, the high-definition LED screens will make the World Stage a trend-setting theater at sea capable of showcasing an exciting array of performances and productions. Enhanced by state-of-the-art lighting, projection and sound systems, the screens enable the environment of the World Stage to change throughout the day to present anything the designers can imagine. For example, the room can evolve effortlessly from an Italian palazzo for a concert performance to an imaginary world for innovative production numbers.

 

Crow's Nest

The Crow’s Nest, a favorite place for guests to gather at the top of every ship, is elegantly styled aboard ms Koningsdam. As always, views—captured by huge wrap-around windows—take center stage, offering panoramic scenes that change by the nautical mile. Settle in and salute the sunset with a fresh signature cocktail from the Crow’s Nest bar. Take a front row seat as Koningsdam glides through a breathtaking fjord or into the next colorful island port. From an intimate nook to observe and wonder to a festive setting to meet family and friends, the Crow’s Nest is your airy, expansive perch on the world.

Lido Pool

A hallmark of the Holland America Line experience, the Lido Pool, domed by a retractable glass roof, has been given added dimension aboard Koningsdam, extending its appeal from day into night. Swimming, sunning and lunch al fresco by day give way to the hum of moviegoers arriving for the evening’s show, projected on an expansive outdoor movie screen. Feature films play under a canopy of stars with complimentary snacks served chair-side and guests can also pick up a great dish from any of the adjacent casual dining venues. Now spanning two levels, the Lido Pool is a haven with comfortable lounge chairs for relaxing and great choices for a bite to eat, from New York Deli & Pizza to Dive-In for a gourmet burger to Gelato for delicious ice cream treats.

The Dining Room

The Dining Room aboard Koningsdam will span two floors and be framed by views of the sea. What's new: stylish and sophisticated interiors inspired by the latest global trends — anchored by a copper-sheathed wine tower showcasing the great breadth of our cellars. From a boutique Walla Walla white wine to a rich red Bordeaux, our great vintages are elevated from the pages of the wine list and made visible, significant, celebrated — a testament to wine’s central place in the enjoyment of food, friends, and life. Menus in the Dining Room will reflect the latest signature dishes from the influential chefs who comprise our Culinary Council, along with classic favorites, vegetarian options, and regionally inspired cuisine. Guests can choose whether to arrange a pre-set seating and dining time, or to arrive “As You Wish,” following the desires of the day.

 

Tamarind

Tamarind's exotic menus evoking the culinary traditions of Southeast Asia, China and Japan, including a newly added sushi bar. Recently noted by Condé Nast Traveler for its “cuisine that rivals the top restaurants on land,” Tamarind is located on the Panorama deck, providing stunning views. Lunch includes tantalizing items such as steamed dim sum and spicy crab. Exotic dinner menus created by Master Chef Rudi Sodamin feature dishes honoring the elements of water, wood, fire and earth.

 

Culinary Arts Center

On ms Koningsdam, the Culinary Arts Center presented by Food & Wine® magazine becomes a dedicated shipboard setting with a dramatic show kitchen and individual cooking stations that will be used exclusively for activities such as cooking demonstrations and hands-on classes by visiting celebrity chefs and the ship’s own experts. Regionally inspired workshops, as well as kids’ and teens’ cooking classes, also will be featured. Large mirrors, viewing screens and an open kitchen make it possible for everyone to watch the food preparation and learn from the comfort of their table. In the evening, the room transforms into a new dinner concept, an immersive farm-to-table experience where the chefs prepare simple, artisanal dishes in the show kitchen and guests enjoy each course as it’s freshly prepared. Every meal will emphasize fresh, thoughtfully sourced selections while incorporating select ingredients harvested from a glass-enclosed growing area just off the kitchen.

 

Grand Dutch Café

Inspired by blue and white Delftware (and our Dutch heritage), the Grand Dutch Cafe is the place to enjoy a fine pale lager or favorite coffee beverage with a traditional Dutch snack.

 

Canaletto

Canaletto’s menu, offering a variety of authentic Italian dishes to enjoy with family and friends, is designed around the Italian concept of spartire, meaning "to share."

 

Sel De Mer

Sel de Mer ("Sea Salt," in French) is an intimate new seafood brasserie offering a contemporary twist on timeless French classics — from fresh oysters, seafood chowder and fruits de mer to salt-crusted whole fish, scallops and bouillabaisse. Sel de Mer will re-create a setting reminiscent of the finest French brasseries where waiters are traditionally dressed and guests may choose their evening meal from a selection of fresh fish and shell fish displayed on ice in the center of the room. Koningsdam’s chefs also will go ashore whenever possible and bring back the catch of the day as a daily special for the evening’s menu. Sel de Mer will be available for a modest charge.
