Holland America Line‘s newest cruise ship, ms Nieuw Statendam, is arriving this December and the line just shared some information that will set her apart from sister ship ms Koningsdam.
The second Pinnacle-class ship arrives in December 2018 and will cater to 2,666 passengers, slightly more than Koningsdam, and will have eight more staterooms. Additionally, all staterooms have been “reimagined” based on guest feedback.
The most noticeable enhancement will be seen by those fortunate enough to sail in the ship’s largest suite, the Pinnacle Suite. The 1,290 square foot haven-at-sea features a bedroom, living room, dining area, dressing room and private verandah with whirlpool. The new, open-concept design puts the living room and dining area in one expansive space. A refreshed color scheme, custom furniture, and a double-sided television make this the ultimate accommodation on the ship.

The popular Neptune Suites and Neptune Spa Suites range from 465 to 855 square feet and come with access to the Neptune Lounge, a private lounge that offers snacks and refreshments throughout the day, access to a concierge and other amenities.

All staterooms and suites feature bedside USB ports, custom wood cabinets, frameless glass shower doors, flat-panel TV, mini-fridge and more.
While much of the ship’s design will be similar to Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam will have exclusive public space and its own unique style.
Scheduled for delivery on December 1, 2018, this will be the sixth ship in the company’s history to carry the name Statendam – the first sailed in 1898. She will spend the winter offering Caribbean sailings from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale.
