Holland America Line is adding new production shows to its entertainment lineup in 2024, and expanding its live music venue Rolling Stone Lounge to more ships in the fleet.
The cruise line has announced four new mainstage experiences are set to debut, which will put “a fresh spin on the classic cruise product format”, while other new productions will be tailored to various regions.
These variety performances will showcase the local culture where ships are cruising, with entertainment specific to Alaska, the Caribbean, Europe, South America and other areas around the world.
“Over the past several years we’ve built one of the strongest entertainment experiences at sea, working with world-class musicians and dancers,” said Bill Prince, Vice President of Entertainment and Enrichment, Holland America Line.
“Adding these new theater experiences continues to build on our momentum,” he added.
Beginning in February 2024, Holland America Line will debut four shows that unite singing and dancing in a new mainstage experience.
The concert-style productions are fronted by three multi-talented headliners, supported by an ensemble of singers and dancers.
New shows include:
“Song & Dance,” which is set on a studio backlot and features two leading men fronting a concert of musical numbers from Broadway, Hollywood and more.
“Class Act,” a production that aims to bring Las Vegas to the sea with an elaborate show that celebrates iconic female music performers.
“All That!” created to transport guests to a TV studio, where they can be part of the audience of variety shows of the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s.
“Hey, Mr. DJ,” which will feature iconic radio DJs presenting songs from the ’60s through today.
The four new shows will be the anchor for entertainment programming, and have thus far debuted on Eurodam in February 2024.
They will debut aboard Rotterdam, Zuiderdam and Nieuw Statendam by the end of June, with more ships to follow.
Beyond the theatre and show lounges, the cruise line is also adding its Rolling Stone Lounge to more ships, while enhancing its popular Billboard Onboard music experience.
