Set sail with a Tradition of Excellence. Whereas much has changed since the first Holland America cruise ship set sail over 125 years ago, one thing hasn't.
Excellence. The excellence begins the moment that you are welcomed aboard to the strains of a string quartet, greeted by the officers and introduced to a white gloved escort. Dine from the most extensive menus at sea, your selections, prepared to your liking, will be served by our gracious and attentive dining staff.
