About the Holland America Line ms Nieuw Statendam

Launched December 2018, Nieuw Statendam carries forward the nautical heritage, signature service and classic style for which Holland America Line is known—while raising the bar for 21st-century elegance. Sister ship to Koningsdam, she’s the second of our Pinnacle-class ships.

Guests onboard Nieuw Statendam will love her interiors, created by brilliant hospitality designer Adam D. Tihany and legendary ship architect Bjørn Storbraaten. They feature all the hallmarks of Pinnacle-class design: grand light-filled spaces, visual drama and sumptuous interiors inspired by the fluid curves of musical instruments. A beautifully appointed mid-sized ship with elegant lines, she proudly reflects more than 140 years of Dutch seafaring tradition.

At the heart of the ship, Nieuw Statendam's central atrium is breathtaking. Soaring three decks high, the atrium is capped by a ceiling that serves as a backdrop for subtly changing high-definition projections. By day you’ll see wispy cirrus clouds floating overhead. In the evening, the atrium takes on dramatic lighting hues or reflects the clear constellations of the night sky.

With sophisticated décor and amenities, staterooms aboard Nieuw Statendam provide a welcoming haven at the end of an eventful day. Designed with input from our guests, they feature thoughtful modern touches such as bedside USB ports, frameless shower doors and customized wood cabinets. Like her sister ship, Nieuw Statendam also offers exclusive Family Ocean-view Staterooms that can accommodate up to five people, and specially designed single staterooms for solo travelers.

Ports of Call

Rotterdam (Days 1, 15)

Modern Rotterdam is often referred to as a "wonder", because of its amazing Phoenix-like revival after bombs had virtually flattened Rotterdam on May 14, 1940. Highlights are the 180 metres tall Euromast which was built in the record time of 23 days, the impressive sculpture by Osip Zadkine entitled "The Destroyed City" and the town hall resplendent with its embellished facade in the style of the Flemis Neo-Renaissance.

Alesund (Day 3)

The coastal town of Alesund is the commercial capital of the More og Romsdal district. But more important, it is noted for its characteristic Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) buildings, which some claim make Alesund one of the most beautiful towns in Norway. Today, narrow streets are crammed with buildings topped with turrets, spires and gables that bear decorations of dragonheads and curlicues. As one of the few remaining Art Nouveau towns in the world, in 1998 Alesund was awarded the coveted Houens National Memorial Prize for the preservation of its unique architecture.

Trondheim (Days 4, 4)

Trondheim exudes history from every pore of her stave churches and cobbled streets. Take in the splendid Nidaros Domen, built in 1066 over the grave of St. Olaf. Its the most magnificent cathedral in Scandinavia. The Royal Familys vacation palace is here too. Its the largest wooden building in Norway.
Attractions & Activities
Stretching 120 metres (400 ft) into the sky, the Tyholt Tower was built by the Telecommunications Authority for modern radio and telecommunications. This is a must for tourists as it offers a spectacular view of Trondheim and the surrounding area. It also features a rotating restaurant 74 metres (243 ft) above ground.

Passing Antartica Circle (Days 5, 10)

Tromso, Norway (Days 6, 7)

Alta (Days 8, 9)

Alta, the Town of the Northern Lights, is continously growing and developing, and has become a centre of commerce and service for large parts of Western Finnmark and North Troms. Finnmark College, the regional educational centre, attracts around 2000 students from the Nordic countries and Russia. Alta's unique closeness to coast, inland, valleys, forests and plains, combined with a generous climate, makes it an excellent habitat for a great variety of plant and animal life.
Attractions & Activities
Here are a few of the places of interest and activities in and around the Town of the Northern Lights: Alta Museum - UNESCO's World Heritage Site, received "European Museum of the Year Award" in 1993.

Enjoy a truly special experience and unexpected comfort by spending a night at the Northern Light Iglo. You get a warm sleeping bag on a bed of snow, with comfortable reindeer skins, surrounded by ice and snow. The Northern Lights Observatory called Haldde at Mt. Sukkertoppen, built in 1899, the world's oldest permanent northern lights observatory. Sautso - Alta Canyon. Visit Northern Europe's largest Canyon! Destination Alta and The Tourist Information have more information and organises guided tours to the Canyon and the Power Station and dam.

Andalsnes (Day 11)

Andalsnes is a modern town with a history deeply shaped by WWII. Located at the mouth of a fjord, the town is a hotspot for climbing, fishing and skiing. Visit Andalsnes on a Norwegian Fjord itinerary or arrive via the scenic Rauma Railway.
Attractions & Activities
Andalsnes is the starting point for one of the great motor drives in Norway: the Trollstigvegen, a 2-hour drive along Route 63 south to Geiranger. The highway climbs to 620m (2,034 ft.) over a distance of 8km (5 miles). The Orneveien or "Eagle's Road" down to Geiranger was a marvel of Norwegian engineering upon its completion in 1952.

Bergen (Day 12)

Bergen is set like a jewel amid seven mountains on the majestic Byfjord. The historic Hanseatic Wharf and 12th-centry fortress gives visitors a glimpse of the influence of the old commercial center. You can attend a piano recital at the home of composer Edvard Grieg.
Attractions & Activities
"Norway in a nutshell" is one of the most popular round trips in Norway. It takes you through some of the loveliest scenery in Fjord Norway. You experience the Flaam railway line, the Aurlandsfjord, the Naeroyfjord (the narrowest part of the Sognefjord) and the steep Stalheimskleivane hairpin bends

Stavanger (Day 13)

With its famous cathedral, Stavanger holds a special place in the heart of most Norwegians. For it was here that the country was first united by the Viking king Harald Harfagre. Modern day Stavanger is the major center of Norways important oil industry and although partly damaged during World War II, much of old Stavanger remains intact. A relaxing stroll along Stavangers narrow, cobblestone streets reveal brightly painted houses and colorful flowers.
Attractions & Activities
Pulpit Rock or Preikestolen (Prekestolen) in Norwegian is one of the areas most profound turist attractions. This natural rock formation with a 25 meter squared plateau stands 604 meters above the sea. Thousands of tourists visit the Rock every year.
