The Nieuw Statendam will combine the signature service and classic style that Holland America is known for, but with added elegance and modern touches to raise the bar for 21st century cruising. The ship’s interiors, created by designer Adam D. Tihany and ship architect Bjørn Storbraaten, will blow guests away! From the stunning three deck high central atrium to the sophisticated staterooms filled with thoughtful amenities, no detail has been spared in design. The Nieuw Statendam represents over 140 years of Dutch seafaring history and seamlessly blends traditional and modern elements.
This beautiful new ship is launching in December 2018!
The Nieuw Statendam receives high praise for its exceptional service, cleanliness, and food quality, with many guests highlighting the professionalism and friendliness of the crew. The ship itself is modern, comfortable, and well-maintained, offering a variety of entertainment and activities. However, some guests noted issues with crowded areas, occasional understaffing, and cutbacks in food and service quality compared to previous years. Entertainment and internet connectivity received mixed reviews, and some felt the cruise catered more to older adults. Overall, the cruise experience is rated very positively, especially for those seeking a relaxing and well-serviced voyage.
