ms Nieuw Amsterdam Review
Review of ms Nieuw Amsterdam
Launched in 2010, ms Nieuw Amsterdam is the 2nd of two Signature-class Holland America cruise ships, together with ms Eurodam.
History - construction and ownership
Holland America Line (HAL) is a Seattle-based cruise company owned by Carnival Corporation (shipowner). Between 1873-1989, HAL was a Dutch cargo and passenger shipping company operating regular Transatlantic crossings between Holland and the Americas. HAL was founded in 1873 as "Dutch-American Steamship Company" headquartered in Rotterdam Netherlands. In 1989, HAL was acquired by Carnival Corporation for around EUR 530 million. Among the company's assets are the Westmark hotel chain (Alaska-Yukon), Worldwide Shore Services (warehouses-logistics) and Half Moon Cay (Caribbean private island).
The 86,273-ton, 2,100-passenger cruise ship ms Nieuw Amsterdam debuted on July 4, 2010. The ship was christened by Her Royal Highness Princess Màxima of the Netherlands. MS Nieuw Amsterdam is classified as a mid-size cruise ship and has exclusive Signature features, such as the Asian Pan restaurant and Explorer’s (in African theme). The vessel keeps going HAL's more recent tradition of offering an onboard atmosphere that blends elements from past and present. The stylish art collection, excellent trained crew members - that hail mainly from the Philippines and Indonesia - and courtly evening amusement, from a nightly string quartet to cheek-to-cheek dancing, all connect cruisers to Holland America's magnificent inheritance.
Cruise itinerary program
MS Nieuw Amsterdam itinerary program is based on Mediterranean cruises from Venice and Barcelona, and on Caribbean voyages out of Fort Lauderdale FL, with Transatlantic repositioning crossings.
