Halloween Aboard the Zaandam – A Legendary Success!
Halloween aboard the Zaandam on our 2026 Legendary Hawaii, South Pacific and Marquesas voyage was another memorable success! 🎃
We awoke to a ship that had been transformed overnight. Monsters and ghouls seemed to be everywhere, and even the towel animals had gotten into the Halloween spirit. Throughout the Lido poolside decks, these little creations were scattered about, adding a touch of Halloween fun wherever you looked. It was clear that the crew had been busy preparing for a day of spooky celebrations.
The festivities began in the afternoon with a Halloween High Tea. A lovely way to spend part of the afternoon, with a little Halloween flair thrown into the mix. And then there was the Cake It Away event!
Now, picture this: approximately two dozen cakes, all different shapes, sizes and flavours. An incredible display of creativity and, of course, a temptation for anyone with a sweet tooth. The cakes were almost too beautiful to eat, but I suspect that didn’t stop too many people!
The crew also got in on the fun with a pumpkin carving competition. Approximately 30 pumpkins were transformed into all sorts of Halloween creations. It was wonderful to see the crew’s creativity on display, and the pumpkins added yet another festive touch to the day’s activities.
As afternoon turned into evening, it was time for us to put on our Halloween getups and head out for a night of fun around the Lido poolside decks.
The dance band was ready to go, and it was obvious that many of our fellow guests had received the Halloween memo. There were some amazing costumes, with guests really getting into the spirit of the occasion. A costume parade was part of the evening’s entertainment, giving everyone an opportunity to show off their Halloween finery.
With music, dancing, costumes and plenty of laughter, the Lido poolside decks were the place to be. It was one of those evenings where the atmosphere just seemed to build as the night went on, and everyone was having a wonderful time.
Halloween aboard the Zaandam is always something special, but this year certainly lived up to expectations. From the morning’s monsters and towel animals to the afternoon’s tea, cakes and pumpkin carving, followed by a lively evening of music and costumes, it was a full day of Halloween fun.
Another memorable celebration on our Legendary voyage, and another reminder of just how much the crew and fellow guests contribute to making life aboard the Zaandam such an enjoyable experience.
Happy Halloween from the Zaandam! 🎃👻
