Creator's Key Takeaways

It's actually one of the nicest and most wellquipped thermal suites I've seen on a cruise ship

Join me for a full tour. Hey cruisers, welcome to my tour of the fantastic thermal suite on Holland America's Roderdam

It was working on my first Roderdam cruise in 2024, but not on my second or third cruises in 2025. So, it might be permanently out of service.

The water in the pool is hot, at least 100°, and there are two powerful overhead massage showers.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Buy a voyage pass online in advance for $179 on a 7-day cruise to save 30% compared to buying on board.
Use the overhead buckets with cold water after spending time in the thermal facilities.
