Nieuw Statendam

Nieuw Statendam, the second Pinnacle-class ship in the Holland America Line fleet, has that “just right” feel. At 2,666 passengers at double occupancy, the ship is big enough that it feels lively at night, especially in its multiple music venues. But it’s still small enough that things never feel too crowded.

Nieuw Statendam bustles at night, even after long days in port. Live music in venues such as B.B. King’s Blues Club and the Rolling Stone Lounge, part of the ship’s Music Walk, plus special events like the Orange Party and Bar Hop.

Holland America has a  growing popularity with international passengers. The mix of European, British and American guests helped contribute to that livelier atmosphere, and people love, in particular, how the ship leaned into HAL’s Dutch heritage.

Nieuw Statendam’s cabins strike the right balance between tradition and modern upgrades. Storage is plentiful, with deep drawers, a tall cabinet perfect for boots and bulky jackets, and the bedside USB ports are welcome. Bathrooms feature bright lighting and glass-door showers—a major improvement from the shower-curtain era.
