Holland America has taken an innovative approach to their newest ship, ms Koningsdam, which will launch in April 2016. While still filled with the luxurious experience Holland America customers expect to receive, the ship contains several new features beginning with the overall design. Holland America commissioned the designers to create a vessel of beautifully flowing curves and lines, reminiscent of elegant musical instruments like the harp or violin. The musical theme carries throughout the ship with composer-named decks such as Beethoven, Mozart, Shubert, and Gershwin.
With a capacity of 2650 guests, ms Koningsdam is Holland America's largest ship to date, but the service and amenities keep the mood personal. From the innovative Family ocean-view staterooms, with accommodations for up to five guests per room to the elegant Verandah Spa suites, with private access to onboard mineral pool, Koningsdam has the best of both worlds. Exclusivity often seen only on smaller ships with all the offerings of a larger ship.
The discerning amenities don't stop with the rooms. Holland America has a special partnership with Food & Wine magazine and a culinary council for all 15 ships in their fleet. Koningsdam features a Culinary Arts Center that will seat up to 74 guests offering a unique farm to table dining experience featuring demonstrations from top chefs around the world. Did someone mention wine? Through a partnership with acclaimed Chateau Ste. Michelle winery out of Washington state, guests will have the opportunity to create their own personal bottle of wine at BLEND.
Because dining is a huge part of one's cruise experience, Holland America has put tremendous focus on all the new dining venues and choices such as Sel de Mer, the seafood brassiere, the family style Italian restaurant, Canalettos, and the Tamarind southeastern Asian restaurant and sushi bar. No matter what you have a taste for, it's all available on ms Koningsdam.
It's not simply the food or rooms, but the entertainment is world-class. From the Lincoln Center Stage to the BB King Blues club to the Billboard Onboard, there is something for everyone, from lectures to Broadway entertainment to a sing along piano bar.
Every traveler will feel like royalty on ms Koningsdam, which is fitting as "Koning," means king in Dutch. If your ready for a first-rate, majestic cruise, Holland America will off a great experience with the ms Koningsdam.
