Newest Pinnacle-Class ship to showcase reconfigured family
staterooms and enlarged Neptune Lounge
SEATTLE, March 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Holland
America Line's Nieuw
Statendam is set to debut in December
2018; and when the ship sets sail from the Fincantieri
shipyard in Marghera, Italy it
will feature distinct stateroom enhancements. The newest
2,666-guest Pinnacle-Class ship will have eight more staterooms
than sister-ship Koningsdam, and all categories have been
reimagined from top to bottom to showcase more thoughtful touches
and innovative additions.
Among the most noticeable enhancements is the redesigned
Pinnacle Suite — the largest on the ship — as well as reconfigured
Family Staterooms. However, Nieuw Statendam still displays
all stateroom hallmarks introduced on Koningsdam, including
single-cruiser accommodations, as well as a wider range of suite
configurations.
"As with every new ship, we've listened to guest feedback and
made our own assessments that have led to exciting changes to
Nieuw Statendam that will enhance our stateroom experience
across every category," said Orlando
Ashford, Holland America Line's president. "Staterooms
should be a sanctuary for our guests, and they are going to
appreciate the elegance, functionality and extra-special touches to
be found on our newest ship."
Nieuw Statendam adds five more ocean-view and three more
interior staterooms, bringing the total stateroom count to 1,339.
The ship features 103 ocean-view and 280 interior staterooms,
ranging from 225 to 266 square feet. The ship will have 851
verandah or verandah spa accommodations, bringing the total
staterooms that have a verandah, including suites, to 912.
The 32 family ocean-view staterooms range from 222 to 231 square
feet and have been reconfigured to feature more living space to
spread out and relax. Accommodating up to five guests, family
staterooms offer special amenities including two bathrooms and
extra closet space. The 12 single ocean-view staterooms for solo
cruisers range from 127 to 172 square feet and are located on the
forward main deck.
Aboard Nieuw Statendam, suites offer larger, more
luxurious accommodations. A grand Pinnacle Suite is an expansive
1,290 square feet with a bedroom, living room, dining area,
dressing room and private verandah with whirlpool. Nieuw
Statendam's Pinnacle Suite was reconfigured to offer an
open-concept design with the living room and dining area in one
expansive space. Guests are greeted by a spacious grand entrance,
refreshed color scheme and luxe touches like custom furniture and a
double-sided television.
Forty-three Neptune Suites and two Neptune Spa Suites range from
465 to a generous 855 square feet. Guests in these accommodations
(as well as the Pinnacle Suite) have access to the exclusive
Neptune Lounge, a private place to relax, socialize with other
suite guests and enjoy the personalized service of a concierge.
Nieuw Statendam's Neptune Lounge was enlarged to allow for
additional seating and more windows, giving a feeling of expanded
openness. The fleetwide lounges provide worktables, a large screen
television, a library, sofas and chairs, and complimentary
refreshments throughout the day.
The 14 Signature Suites are up to 400 square feet in size, and
the 104 Vista Suites range from 260 to 356 square feet. Signature
and Vista suite guests receive many special amenities, including
oversized bath towels, fresh flowers, a pillow menu, mini bar and
one-touch phone concierge service.
Guests looking to focus on health and wellness during the cruise
can book a Spa Suite or Verandah Spa, Outside Spa or Inside Spa
stateroom, conveniently located near the Greenhouse Spa &
Salon, and come with yoga mats for use during the voyage and an
iPod docking station.
With sophisticated décor and amenities, suites and staterooms
aboard Nieuw Statendam are welcoming sanctuaries featuring a
host of modern details such as bedside USB ports, customized wood
cabinets and luxurious frameless glass shower doors.
Additional amenities found in all suites and staterooms include
Holland America Line's signature Mariner's Dream bed with finely
woven cotton linens; plush bathrobes for use during the voyage; a
premium massage showerhead; flat-panel TV with video-on-demand;
mini fridge; complimentary fresh fruit on request; and fragrant
soaps, lotions, shampoo and other bath amenities from Elemis
Aromapure.
About Nieuw Statendam
Due for delivery
Dec. 1, 2018, Nieuw Statendam
currently is under construction at Fincantieri's Marghera shipyard
in Italy. The 2,666-guest,
99,500-ton ship will reflect the ongoing evolution of Holland
America Line. From familiar elements that reflect a rich heritage
and classic style to state-of-the-art enhancements that chart a
bold new course forward, guests on board Nieuw Statendam
will delight in details that are artfully inspired and perfectly
presented to create the ultimate Pinnacle-class experience.
While much of the ship's design will be similar to
Koningsdam, the first Pinnacle Class ship, Nieuw
Statendam will have exclusive public spaces and its own style
created by leading hospitality designer Adam D. Tihany and designer
and architect Bjørn Storbraaten. The ship will feature all of the
hallmarks of Pinnacle-Class design: grand, light-filled spaces;
visual drama; and sumptuous interiors inspired by the fluid curves
of musical instruments.
Holland America Line's first ship
to be called Statendam sailed in 1898, and this will be the
sixth ship in the company's history to carry the name. In combining
the Dutch word for "new" with the classic "Statendam,"
Holland America Line celebrates the company's past, present and
future.
