Holland America Ships, Vacations and Luxry Travel Packages

Welcome aboard our five-star-fleet
For more than 130 years, Holland America Line has taken discriminating guests like you to the most magnificent destinations around the world. Today, with 13 premium cruise ships in our five-star fleet - four in our spectacular new Vista Class - we continue to travel the world's waterways, providing enriching activities as we cruise to more than 280 ports of call and visit scenic cruising destinations on all seven continents.

From the moment you step aboard one of our classic cruise ships, you will believe that the Golden Age of ocean travel has just begun. It's evident in the gleam of brass brightwork, the curve of a teak deck chair, the sound of pleasant musical chimes summoning you to dinner. Ours are the traditions that have long defined classic cruising, refined for a new generation seeking sophistication and romance.


ms Amsterdam ... flagship
hac-ms-amsterdamBuilt at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, Italy, the flagship ms Amsterdam sets the standard for our fleet of five-star cruise ships. As the third ship bearing the name of the Dutch capital in the line's more than 130-year history, the ms Amsterdam blends the very latest in shipbuilding technology with the artistry, personalized touches, and superior service that has made Holland America Line one of the highest-rated cruise lines in the world. Traveling aboard her is world-class cruising at its finest.

At the heart of the ms Amsterdam is the Planeto Astrolabium, a specially commissioned signature sculpture suspended and soaring in a three-story atrium. The stunning Astrolabe tracks constellations, the planets, world time and ship time. Dutch heritage and tradition aboard the ms Amsterdam is clearly displayed in original Art Deco pieces that once graced the Nieuw Amsterdam of 1938. For a contemporary touch, works of the noted maritime artist Stephen Card adorn public spaces. With the capacity to carry 1,380 guests, the ms Amsterdam features 172 staterooms with verandahs. The ms Amsterdam completed all Signature of Excellence enhancements to her public rooms and staterooms in Spring 2005.

ms Maasdam ... spacious comfort
hac-ms-maasdamThe ms Maasdam is the fifth ship in Holland America Line's more than 130-year history to bear the name. Featuring an interior motif that pays homage to the historical Dutch East and West India companies of the 17th through 19th centuries, the centerpiece of this elegant ship features Luciano Vistosi's "Totem," a monumental sculpture using nearly 2,000 glimmering pieces of glass, prominently displayed in a soaring three-story atrium. She exudes a warm, elegant feel throughout by combining rich, polished woods and more than $2 million antiques and art collection. In Spring 2006 the ms Maasdam will have completed all Signature of Excellence enhancements to her public rooms*.

At 720-feet, the ms Maasdam is designed to carry fewer guests while providing them with more space for maximum comfort. Accommodating 1,258 guests, many staterooms feature commanding ocean views, and each of the 149 suites has a private verandah.

With an estimated all-in cost of $450 million, the new 86,000-ton Panamax Eurodam will be built at Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri's Marghera shipyard.

The Eurodam will further the evolution of Holland America Line's sophisticated mid-sized ships.

In total, the Eurodam will carry 1,022 staterooms, with 86 percent outside staterooms, 67 percent with verandahs.
