The Nieuw Statendam will combine the signature service and classic style that Holland America is known for, but with added elegance and modern touches to raise the bar for 21st century cruising. The ship’s interiors, created by designer Adam D. Tihany and ship architect Bjørn Storbraaten, will blow guests away! From the stunning three deck high central atrium to the sophisticated staterooms filled with thoughtful amenities, no detail has been spared in design. The Nieuw Statendam represents over 140 years of Dutch seafaring history and seamlessly blends traditional and modern elements.
This beautiful new ship is launching in December 2018!
The Nieuw Statendam receives high praise for its exceptional service, cleanliness, and modern amenities. Most guests highlight the professionalism and friendliness of the crew, quality dining options, and enjoyable entertainment. However, some reviews mention recent cutbacks in food and service, crowded pool and dining areas, and issues with internet connectivity. The ship is generally seen as catering to a more mature crowd, with fewer activities for younger guests. Overall, the cruise experience is rated very positively, with many guests eager to sail again, though a few express disappointment with certain aspects.
Service is consistently described as outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to ensure guest satisfaction. Some mention occasional understaffing, but overall, the crew is praised for their professionalism and friendliness.
