HOLLAND AMERICA LINES GUIDE

Holland America Amsterdam
Noted ship architect Frans Dingemans, who is responsible for most of Holland America's fleet, once said that a line's flagship must be very special as befits her status as the standard-bearer. The Amsterdam, HAL's second flagship (along with her sister, the Rotterdam) is not only special, she is exquisite. The third ship bearing the name of the Dutch capital in the line's 127-year history, the Amsterdam's interiors are more luxurious, elegant and formal than those of HAL's V-class ships (Volendam and Zaandam). And, like the Rotterdam, she sports twin smokestacks and boasts an all-suite concierge deck with a lounge for the exclusive use of guests residing in two penthouses and 50 suites (14 more than the Rotterdam). The Amsterdam is the first HAL ship to have Azipod propulsion, allowing her to cruise at 22.5 knots. HAL's loyal following will love this ship as will anyone new to the line who appreciates a gracious and refined ambiance rich in comfort, class and culture.
