Holland America lines have opened up bookings for the Premiere Voyage and 2018-19 inaugural Caribbean cruise season aboard ms Nieuw Statendam. Due for delivery in December 2018, the second Pinnacle Class ship in the fleet is currently under construction at Fincantieri’s Marghera shipyard in Italy.
Holland America’s Nieuw Statendam departs December 5 on its Premiere Voyage with guests — a 14-day transatlantic crossing to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The ship will then spend the winter season cruising round trip from the South Florida port on seven-day Caribbean itineraries, with select three, four and 10-day options.
“The crossing is a great chance for guests to really get to know the ship and explore every corner during the sea days, and the Caribbean season is a perfect blend of ports that highlight the beauty, diversity and relaxed ambiance of that region.” said Orlando Ashford, Holland America Line’s president.
The 99,500-ton ship’s design will be similar to ms Koningsdam, the first Pinnacle Class ship. Nieuw Statendam will carry 2666 guests and have exclusive public spaces. It will have its own style created by leading hospitality designer Adam D. Tihany and designer and architect Bjorn Storbraaten.
Holland America Line’s first ship to be called Statendam sailed in 1898, and this will be the sixth ship in the company’s history to carry the name. In combining the Dutch word for “new” with the classic Statendam, Holland America Line is celebrating the company’s past, present and future.
