Noordam offers its cruisers a relaxed yet refined experience without the busyness or noise that can often accompany larger, more amusement-heavy ships. Perfectly outfitted for the mature passenger, Noordam's main draw is its intimacy and quieter, more traditional, more intellectual pursuits, such as cooking classes and the New York Times-inspired Exploration Cafe.
