The ship at a glance

The second Pinnacle-Class ship, Nieuw Statendam carries the same music-inspired design language as Koningsdam with a slightly enlarged layout and an added Sky Deck. Its heart is the two-story World Stage with a wraparound LED screen, surrounded by the Music Walk's cluster of live-music venues, and it houses Holland America's full specialty-dining roster.

Who it's for

Built for Holland America's mature, premium-leaning guest who prizes an elevated culinary scene and nightly live music. Ideal for couples and small groups seeking a polished, sophisticated ship rather than a resort-at-sea aimed at kids.

Where & when it sails

This ship sails seasonally across the regions below. Exact dates and ports are confirmed on the call.
