Hi Fellow Cruisers,
I hope you will not think
that I am "bugging" you with the cruise Newsletters.
If you are unable to go on one of the cruises to
Alaska this August, the following information may not
be of interest to you. If you have already signed up,
great, I think you will find the following informative
and interesting.
So....this Newsletter is really aimed for the folks who
still may have a desire to join one of these fabulous
trips. Even though the Zaandam has been sold out
for weeks, and there are a few cabins left on the
Westerdam, I have been able to accommodate
people on both cruises.
Each Holland America ship hosts a Solo Travelers
party for singles to meet each other early during
their cruise. Solo travelers enjoy enriching activities
with mixers, cocktail parties, games and more. In
total, there are more than 40 activities to meet other
singles including: exercise classes, enriching lectures
(select departures), line dance class, wine tasting
and cooking demonstrations, Team Trivia contests,
the daily quiz, sports challenges and more. Many of
our Single Partner Program guests have become fast
friends and some even book future Holland America
cruises together.
You can count on our gracious staff and crew to
create a shipboard atmosphere of camaraderie
making it easy and fun to meet other solo travelers.
I also have some people waiting for a cabin mate. If
you feel you would like to join the group, please e-
mail me ASAP at richard@seniorbachelor.com. I hope
you enjoy the following information.
Every day aboard a Holland America cruise ship brings
a wealth of activities and indulgences, along with the
freedom to partake in as many - or as few - as you
please. Whether you want to work-out in the fitness
center, learn yoga, pamper yourself with a massage,
take a class in our state of the art Culinary Arts
Center demonstration kitchen or check your email in
the Explorations Café, there's a perfect onboard
activity for everyone.
Once in port, make your cruise even more memorable
with our extensive Shore Excursions program of
activities. See, explore, discover: arts and cultural
activities, athletic expeditions, city tours, shopping
and more.

GREENHOUSE SPA & SALON:
Spa Water Therapy can bring calm to the day's
stress, release tension and alleviate muscle pain.
Relax and rejuvenate with nature's natural healer in
our world-class Greenhouse Spa and Salon.
- Thermal Suite - With an ambiance similar to
a Turkish bath, different grottos and chambers
release a variety of dry heat, steam and mists into
the air with aromatherapy filled vapors. Relax on a
heated ceramic lounge and allow the pressures of life
to rinse away
- Hydrotherapy Pool - The bubbling ocean
water is rich with trace elements and vitamins,
helping to remineralize the body. Gently heated to
body temperature, the pool embraces the body with
warmth, soothing sore joints, alleviating arthritic pain
and offering wonderful relief for sports injuries.
Nurture your sensory experience and be sure to
enjoy a dip before your scheduled spa packages or
therapies
- Bathing Rituals (20 minutes) - Many ancient
cultures use baths for rituals and health. Ancient
Greek physicians once believed that the body's
capacity for healing was so strong that it only
needed a boost in the right direction. They believed
that a hot bath infused with aromatic oils was like
medicine for the body. As you immerse yourself in
one of our baths you will feel stress and tension
dissolve. Maybe the ancient Greeks were right.
Choose from:
Because the Greenhouse Spa & Salon is such a
popular destination, we encourage you to book spa
appointments early, preferably right after boarding
the ship.
NIGHTLIFE ONBOARD
Nights on board a Holland America Line ship glitter
with choices. Begin the evening with drinks and
dancing in the Ocean Bar. Watch a recent-release
movie or try your luck at the blackjack table. Catch

many lounges featuring live music and award-winning
entertainment. You can find it all aboard a Holland
America Line cruise.
