Nieuw Statendam

First Look: Introducing Nieuw Statendam

Holland America has just taken ownership of their newest ship the Nieuw Statendam.

She’s the second in the Pinnacle-class joining her sister the Koningsdam. Both ships are 99,500gt and can carry 2,650pax double occupancy.

The ship will start with a short Bahamas cruise on Wednesday, December 19, 2018 then sail 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean voyages. Then next summer she’ll sail to Europe then back to Port Everglades for the winter. This routing is pretty common with Holland America ships.

The next two decks, 10 and 11, have cabins in the forward part. As this is a Pinnacle-class, one of the larger changes to the design from the previous Vista-classes is the addition of cabins, especially building them into the super structure above the bridge.
