  • Nieuw Pinnacle Class Schip Van Holland America Line Krijgt De Naam Ms Koningsdam
    CONTACT: Marieke Koudijs PHONE: +31 20 654 1565 FAX: +31 20 623 0151 EMAIL: [email protected] Nieuw Pinnacle Class Schip van Holland America Line krijgt de naam ms Koningsdam Vorstelijk nieuw design en rijke Nederlandse historie verenigd in de naam van het nieuwe schip Rotterdam 15 september 2014 - Holland America Line heeft de nieuwe naam van het, in februari 2016 op te leveren, cruiseschip onthuld: ms Koningsdam. Waar de naam enerzijds eer doet aan de diepgewortelde Nederlandse historie van Holland America Line, weerspiegelt het ook een nieuw tijdperk met een voor Holland America Line gedurfde naam. Het nieuwe, 99.500 ton metende, in design vooruitstrevende, Pinnacle Class schip kan 2.650 passagiers accommoderen en wordt gebouwd op de Italiaanse scheepswerf Fincantieri Marghera. Sinds 1883 eindigen alle namen van de passagiersschepen van Holland America Line op het woord ‘dam’ en met het nieuwe ms Koningsdam wordt deze traditie voortgezet. Met de toevoeging van het woord koning, verwijst de naam van het nieuwe schip naar Zijne Majesteit Koning Willem-Alexander, de eerste koning van Nederland sinds meer dan honderd jaar. Holland America Line heeft een lange en trotse historie met Nederland. Alle 15 premium cruiseschepen varen onder de Nederlandse vlag, naar meer dan 400 havens wereldwijd. De rederij deelt haar rijke verleden op jaarbasis met bijna één miljoen gasten. Bovendien telt de cruisemaatschappij veel Nederlandse werknemers, waaronder het merendeel van de kapiteins en officieren. Veel van de schepen van Holland America Line zijn gedoopt door leden van de Koninklijke familie de afgelopen 75 jaar. Het meest recente schip, ms Nieuw Amsterdam is in 2010 gedoopt door toenmalig Hare Koninklijke Hoogheid Prinses Maxima der Nederlanden.

Considering the fact that luxury lines like Silversea, Regent, Seabourn, Paul Gauguin, Crystal, AmaWaterways, Uniworld and Viking offer all-inclusive pricing (including gratuities, alcohol, and even shore excursions in many cases), you will find that you can take a luxury cruise and end up spending less money than many standard cruises. • The River and Luxury cruise sections can be found by scrolling down to the bottom of this email. Please remember that prices shown in this email, the gordonfroes.com website, or any other website, have the potential to become outdated quite quickly. It is always in your best interest to call & check to see if there are any new prices that have not yet been posted. And now on to the latest interline specials... For your convenience, we have noted in brackets next to each ship name the overall star rating for that ship/cruise line. 6* = luxury (Regent, Silversea, Paul Gauguin, Seabourn, Crystal, Ponant) 5*+ = upscale (Azamara, Oceania, Windstar, Blount Small Ship Adventures) 5* = premium (Celebrity, Holland America) 4* = contemporary (Royal Caribbean, Princess) 3* = budget (Norwegian, MSC, Carnival) ANY CRUISE, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE: Please note that these specials are only a small sample of what we have access to.
