Nieuw Amsterdam OVERVIEW
The Nieuw Amsterdam is a midsize ship from Holland America Line's Signature class. The ships décor, amenities, and entertainment reflect the easy elegance of old New York. Exterior glass elevators bring the outside in as passengers move about the ship. The same is true of the main dining room, which despite its expansive space still provides both views and an intimate feel. The Explorations public room is perfect for relaxing, the Explorer's Lounge an ideal spot for live music during cocktail hour, and the World Stage a stunning venue for large-scale performances. Hands-on foodies especially love the ship's Culinary Arts Center programming, which includes cooking classes taught by the ship's talented chefs.
