  • Holland America Line's Prinsendam to Leave the Fleet July 1, 2019
    CONTACT: Sally Andrews PHONE: 800-637-5029 EMAIL: [email protected] Holland America Line’s Prinsendam to Leave the Fleet July 1, 2019 Vessel to transfer to German cruise line Phoenix Reisen Seattle, Wash., July 2, 2018 — Holland America Line announced that Prinsendam has been sold and will leave its fleet July 1, 2019, and transfer to the German cruise company Phoenix Reisen. Following the sale, the 37,983-ton, 835-guest Prinsendam is being chartered back to Holland America Line to continue sailing its planned voyages through July 1, 2019. Prinsendam’s itineraries from July 1, 2019, onward are scheduled to be assimilated by Rotterdam, Volendam and Veendam. Holland America Line is reaching out to booked guests and their travel professionals to re-accommodate guests on these cruises. “Prinsendam has proudly served our guests since 2002, and we share in the fondness that many of our loyal cruisers have for this special ship,” said Orlando Ashford, president of Holland America Line. “As we look to the future and focus on delivering the programming and innovations that our guests are asking for, we remain focused on exceeding guest expectations on every cruise and will continue to offer the unique itineraries that Prinsendam sailed on our other, smaller ships.” Prinsendam was built in 1988 as Royal Viking Sun for Royal Viking Line. The ship was operated by Cunard Line from 1994 through 1998 and then transferred to Seabourn Cruise Line, where it became Seabourn Sun in 1999. In 2002 the ship joined the Holland America Line fleet and was renamed Prinsendam.

  • OCEAN LINER SUNSET by Ted Scull Friday, November 17, 2017 – 6:00 PM at the Community Church Assembly Room, 40 East 35Th Street, Manhattan
    NOVEMBER, 2017 VOLUME XXXIV, # 10 OCEAN LINER SUNSET By Ted Scull Friday, November 17, 2017 – 6:00 PM At the Community Church Assembly Room, 40 East 35th Street, Manhattan Ted will take us on a half-dozen voyages aboard ships that represent the end of their type: passenger-container ship, Royal Mail Ship, colonial liner, liner converted to cruising, and a pair of Atlantic liners. First, we will venture from Buenos Aires on a 26-day, northbound voyage to Brooklyn aboard Ivaran Lines’ super-comfy, 86-passenger-container ship, AMERICANA. Intended to be the first of a new breed of combo-ship, and officially classified as a scheduled passenger vessel, she attained priority access to congested Brazilian ports. Next, we're aboard the Royal Mail Ship ST. HELENA, living on borrowed time as her namesake island’s brand-new airport located deep in the South Atlantic finally opened to regular air service from South Africa after a long delay due to severe wind shear. The RMS represented the very last of the long-distance mail ships and served the island with everything it required, except fuel. Ships built to serve colonial empires slowly disappeared as one possession after another declared independence. Using the British India liner SS KARANJA as an example, Ted will introduce us to people who had to pull up stakes in East Africa and find another home. Regency Cruises was a major operator of second-hand ships until it declared bankruptcy. On this journey, we will follow the REGENT SEA, converted from Swedish Americas Line’s GRIPSHOLM of 1957, on a cruise to the Mayan ruins of Belize, Honduras, and Belize.

  • Cruising with Holland America Line Tourism, Corporate Identity and Corporate History
    1 Cruising with Holland America Line Tourism, corporate identity and corporate history Ferry de Goey Faculty of History and Arts Erasmus University Rotterdam The Netherlands [email protected] Paper for the EBHA Conference 2005 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany (September 1 - 3, 2005) Session 2 C: Images of Transport Do not quote without permission. © Ferry de Goey (2005) 2 “The reason for our success is that we meet and exceed the expectations of our guests every day; we create dr eams for them every day. There is no better value.” (Micky Arison, Chairman and CEO Carnival Corporation, 2004) If you remember Captain Stubing, cruise director Julie McCoy, bartender Isaac Washington, and yeoman-purser “Gopher” Smith of the 1970s television series The Love Boat, you probably have the right age to take a cruise.1 You shall not be alone; in 2005, about 11.1 million people will join you on a cruise. Economic research documents the tremendous growth of tourism in general and particularly the cruise industry after the 1960s. Worldwide employment in tourism in 2001 was 207 million jobs or 8 percent of all jobs. About 11 percent (or 3.3 trillion US Dollars) of global GDP is contributed by the tourist industry and some 698 million tourists generated this economic result. While tourism used to be located in Europe and the USA (in 1950 the top 15 tourist attractions were all located in Europe and the USA), today tourism is a global industry with multinational enterprises.2 Tourism is an exceptionally dynamic industry with businesses constantly inventing new attractions.

  • “Nieuw Statendam” Launched in Marghera
    FINCANTIERI: “NIEUW STATENDAM” LAUNCHED IN MARGHERA Trieste, December 06, 2017 – “Nieuw Statendam”, the new cruise ship which Fincantieri is building for the shipowner Holland America Line, a brand under Carnival Corporation & plc, the world’s largest cruise operator, was launched today at the Marghera (Venice) shipyard. The fitting- out phase can now begin, ending in autumn 2018 with the handing over of the ship. The event was introduced by the traditional and well-wishing “coin ceremony”, consisting, according to an ancient shipbuilding custom, in welding a silver dollar on the last deck of the ship. Madrina of the ceremony was Anne Marie Bartels, a member of Holland America Line’s elite President’s Club loyalty program, who first sailed across the Atlantic from Rotterdam to New York as a young woman. The ceremony was attended, among others, by Keith Taylor, Executive Vice President for Fleet Operations for Holland America Group, on behalf of the ship-owner and Antonio Quintano, shipyard director, on behalf of Fincantieri. The new vessel, the sixteenth ship built by Fincantieri for Holland America Line and the second “Pinnacle” class ship after “Koningsdam”, delivered in 2016 from the same shipyard, will be about 99,500 gross tons, almost 300 meters long, with accommodation for up to 2,660 passengers on board in more than 1,300 cabins. She will be characterized by a contemporary style which blends perfectly with the traditional elegance, which distinguishes all the ships in the fleet. The design will be created, as for “Koningsdam”, by the designer Adam D. Tihany and the designer and architect Bjorn Storbraaten, with “the architecture of music” being an inspirational element for the design of many public areas.
