Volendam’s Caribbean itinerary would charm any sun-seeker—but it offers up some special delights for active, inquisitive kids. In Aruba, they’ll love the iguanas, cacti, and strange rock formations; in Curacao, they can swim with dolphins or check out an ostrich farm. Half Moon Cay is a private water sports paradise.

In classic Holland America style, Volendam retains the best traditions of cruising's grand era (white-gloved high tea, fine china, luxe bedding, attentive service), while adding the modern amenities families want (an expansive fitness center, first-run movies, fabulous entertainers, and culinary delights to tempt everyone—from burgers and tacos to rack of lamb).
