Holland America Line’s New Entertainment Show ‘A City On The Sea’ Offers Guests An Immersive Journey Behind The Scenes

For the first time, Holland America Line is bringing a story to life with a new, engaging show called “A City on the Sea.”  This show is designed to lift the curtain on cruise ship operations through immersive video footage and interviews. Presented with live narration by the ship’s cruise and travel director — joined by additional shipboard officers like the captain and crew — guests are taken on a fascinating journey behind closed doors while also meeting the people who call Holland America Line ships their home away from home.

“A City on the Sea” explores areas on board such as the engine room to show the miracle of modern engineering and the laundry to see how thousands of linens are processed daily. Guests will explore staples of a town like bakeries, restaurants, theaters, grocery stores and hardware shops, all without leaving the ship.

Engineers, medical staff, musicians and stateroom attendants describe the challenges and opportunities of working on a cruise ship, while one captain talks about how he views himself as the mayor of the “city.” Guests will meet team members who have a friendship that spans decades and hear from a tailor whose family relationship with Holland America Line spans generations.

“A City on the Sea” is a daytime presentation that will be offered on every cruise fleetwide starting in early 2023.
