MS Statendam Cruise Ship

MS Statendam Cruise Ship - Intro

Named after the provinces of Holland and carrying fewer passengers than other ships in her class, the elegant MS Statendam has reset the industry standard. With two-tiered show lounges and dining rooms, deluxe staterooms, and verandah suites, the ship offers something for everyone, whether it be adventure or relaxation.

With more than 135 years of experience, Holland America Line is recognized as the undisputed leader in the cruise industry's premium segment. With the introduction of the 1,918-passenger MS Noordam in early 2006, Holland America Line's fleet grew to 13 ships.

Holland America Line's $150 million, fleetwide Signature of Excellence enhancements feature new programmes and amenities including the Culinary Arts Center, presented by Food & Wine magazine, a state-of-the-art on board show kitchen where more than 60 celebrated guest chefs and culinary experts provide cooking demonstrations and classes and the Explorations Café powered by the New York Times, the luxurious Greenhouse Spa, and all new cabin amenities highlighted by flat-panel TVs and plush-top Mariner's Dream Beds.
