Behind-the-scenes ship tours are returning to Holland America Line for the first time since the pandemic.

The approximately three-hour tour takes guests to the engine control room, galley, bridge, recycling center, bakery, stage dressing rooms and other parts of the ships otherwise exclusively accessed by the crew and officers. 

The tours include visits from senior officers, and guests receive a special lanyard, photo collection and certificate. 

Holland America reintroduced the tours in May on the Rotterdam and Nieuw Statendam and expects to have them available fleetwide by the end of the month. They cost $179 per person.
