Holland America Line was founded in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and from 1873 to 1989, it operated as a Dutch shipping line, a passenger line, a cargo line and a cruise line operating primarily between the Netherlands and North America. As part of the company's legacy, it was directly involved in the transport of many hundreds of thousands of emigrants from the Netherlands to North America.[2] Holland America has been a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation since 1989.[3] History Dutch shipping and passenger line (1873–1989) 1898 Holland-Amerika Lijn poster Holland America Line was founded in 1873, as the Nederlandsch-Amerikaansche Stoomvaart Maatschappij (Dutch-American Steamship Company), in short Holland-Amerika Lijn, a shipping and passenger line.[4] It was headquartered in Rotterdam, in the building which is now the Hotel New York.[5] It provided service from its European base to the Americas over the North Atlantic. The company was formed as a result of the reorganization of an earlier company, Plate, Reuchlin & Co. The company's first ship was the original Rotterdam (1872), which sailed its 15-day maiden voyage from the Netherlands to New York City on October 15, 1872. Other services were started to other new world ports, including Hoboken, Baltimore and South America. Cargo service to New York started in 1909. During the first 25 years, the company carried 400,000 people from Europe to the Americas. Other North American ports were added during the early 20th century.[2] Though transportation and shipping were the primary sources of revenue, in 1895, HAL offered its first vacation cruise. Its second vacation cruise, from New York to Palestine, was first offered in 1910. Former head office in Rotterdam, now the Hotel New York One notable ship was the 36,000 GRT SS Nieuw Amsterdam of 1937. She and RMS Queen Mary were the only two liners built in the 1930s that made a profit. At the start of the Second World War, HAL had 25 ships; nine remained at war's end. At the beginning of the war, the Westernland acquired from the Red Star Line in 1939, berthed at Falmouth, England, became the seat of the Dutch government.[6] The Nieuw Amsterdam sailed half a million miles transporting 400,000 military personnel. After the war, the shipping line was instrumental in transporting a massive wave of immigrants from the Netherlands to Canada and elsewhere.[7] Another notable ship during the post-war period was SS Rotterdam of 1959, one of the first North Atlantic ships equipped for two-class transatlantic crossing and one-class luxury cruising. By the late 1960s, the golden era of transatlantic passenger ships had been ended by the introduction of transatlantic jet air travel. HAL ended transatlantic service during the early 1970s, leaving the North Atlantic passenger trade for Cunard's Queen Elizabeth 2. In 1973, it sold its cargo shipping division, which continued to operate freight liner services with freighters, a Lighter aboard ship ('LASH' ship, mv Bilderdijk) and then container ships under the trade name of Incotrans, with headquarters in Rotterdam, with some of its North American services operated in partnership with the French shipping line Compagnie Générale Maritime. It ceased operating as a Dutch line in 1989, when it was bought by Carnival for 1.2 billion guilders (€530 million). The proceeds were put into an investment company (HAL Investments), the majority of which is owned by the van der Vorm family. Former fleet (before 1989) This list is incomplete; you can help by adding missing items. (June 2023) HAL ships sold, scrapped or lost before Carnival took over.[7] SS Aagtedijk, 1950–63 — Launched in 1945 as Turand. Spelling changed to Aagtedyk in 1953.

The line currently operates four different classes of ship: the R class, the Vista class, the Signature class, and the newest and largest Pinnacle class.[51] All HAL ships have a dark blue hull with white superstructure, with the company's logo featured prominently on the functional smoke stacks. Holland America also owns the following: the Westmark hotel chain operating in Alaska and the Yukon[52] Half Moon Cay, a private Caribbean island (known officially as Little San Salvador Island) with most Caribbean cruises spending a day there.[citation needed] On October 26, 2012, it was announced that a memorandum of agreement had been signed with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri for the construction of a 2,660-passenger ship for Holland America Line scheduled for delivery in spring 2016. Koningsdam, which became a new class of ship for the line (The Pinnacle Class), and the first new Holland America ship since Nieuw Amsterdam, delivered in 2010. Also noted was that the addition of new ships would maintain passenger capacity if some of the older Carnival Corporation ships are sold.[53] The Holland America Group of HAL and Princess Cruises have a letter of understanding to buy the White Pass and Yukon Route between Skagway, Alaska and the US-Canadian border. The purchase closed July 31, 2018. On July 15, 2020, it was announced by Holland America that Maasdam, Veendam, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam were sold to two undisclosed buyers. The ships were sold in pairs, with the Maasdam and Veendam transferring to one company in August 2020, while the Amsterdam and Rotterdam moved to another company in fall 2020. One pair went to a new cruise brand and the other to an existing brand.[54] Most cruise lines suspended their sailings because of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.[55] As of 6 January 2021, all Holland America sailings were cancelled to at least 30 April 2021, according to an industry news item. That report listed no specific sailings for Holland America prior to the first week of June 2021.[56] Fleet Current fleet Ship name In HAL service Gross tonnage Maximum speed Passenger complement Enclosed passenger decks Flag Image Rotterdam class (R class) Unlike the ships of the S class, Holland America Line's R-class ships did not all start out identical. Rotterdam, the first of the four, was similar to the S class, but slightly longer and wider, with a third set of passenger stairs/elevators, twin funnels, and some new facilities. The twin sister ships Volendam and Zaandam followed, similar to Rotterdam, but with a different (single) funnel and larger because the aft pool was moved up one deck to the Lido level, creating more space for passenger accommodations below. The final R-class ship, Amsterdam, like a hybrid of Rotterdam and Volendam/Zaandam, incorporates Rotterdam's twin funnels as well as the Lido deck aft pool. Together, Rotterdam and Amsterdam were considered HAL's flagships.[citation needed] On July 15, 2020, it was announced by Holland America that MS Rotterdam and MS Amsterdam were sold to an undisclosed buyers. The ships were sold in pairs, with the two joining an existing cruise brand in fall 2020.[54] It was further announced on the same day, that this pair will join Fred. Olsen Cruise Line.[54] MS Volendam 1999 61,214 23 knots 1,432 9 Netherlands Kobe MS Volendam01n4272.jpg MS Zaandam 2000 61,396 23 knots 1,432 9 Netherlands MS Zaandam.JPG Vista class (V class) HAL's four Vista-class ships are named for the points of the compass in Dutch. Noord for north, Zuid for south, Oost for east and West for West. These ships were designed mainly for shorter (less than two weeks) cruises in the Caribbean, Alaska and Europe. These ships are notable because of the exceptionally great number of oceanview and verandah staterooms - more than 85% and 67% respectively. The first three Vista-class ships were built as identical triplets. Noordam incorporated a few design changes, including a more vertical aft profile, which makes her larger, with a slightly greater passenger capacity. The success of Noordam's revised design caused HAL to modify the other three Vista-class ships with aft expansions to mimic Noordam.[citation needed] In 2006, the Vista-class cruise ships were awarded the 2006 Green Planet Award for outstanding environmental standards by Kuoni Switzerland.[57] Zuiderdam, Oosterdam and Westerdam received the first phase of Signature of Excellence upgrades (detailed above) between 2005 and 2006, while Noordam was built to SOE1 standards.[citation needed] MS Zuiderdam 2002 82,305 24 knots 1,916 10 Netherlands 20080921-Piraeus-MS Zuiderdam.JPG MS Oosterdam 2003 82,305 24 knots 1,916 10 Netherlands MS Oosterdam, Princes Wharf, 2013 (cropped).JPG MS Westerdam 2004 82,305 24 knots 1,916 10 Netherlands Westerdam Nov 24 2015.png MS Noordam 2006 82,318 24 knots 1,924 10 Netherlands Noordam.jpg Signature class The Signature-class ships are essentially an enhanced Vista-class design. The main difference is the addition of a deck between the Lido and Observation decks. This allows for more cabins (mostly spa accommodations) and some additional facilities including the specialty restaurant Tamarind and the Silk Den lounge.[citation needed] Both Signature-class ships were built to Signature of Excellence (first phase) standards (detailed above).[citation needed] MS Eurodam 2008 86,273 23.9 knots 2,104 11 Netherlands Eurodam.JPG MS Nieuw Amsterdam 2010 86,700 23.9 knots 2,106 11 Netherlands Nieuw Amsterdam San Juan.JPG Pinnacle class Constructed at the Fincantieri shipyards, Koningsdam is the largest ship to be built for Holland-America, and is the size of the ex-Ryndam and ex-Statendam joined together.[53] The new ship has a beam of 35 metres (114 ft 10 in), complying with the New Panamax dimensions and allowing it to cruise through the new wider locks currently under construction at the Panama Canal. It was launched on February 15, 2016.[58] All Pinnacle class ships were built to Signature of Excellence (first phase) standards (detailed above).

Both Marella Celebration and Marella Spirit sailed for Holland America as the Noordam (1984) and Nieuw Amsterdam (1983) before being transferred to the Marella fleet in 2005 and 2003, respectively. Marella Spirit was operated by Louis Cruises under sub-charter to Marella until 2018, when she was sold for scrap. Her sister ship, the Marella Celebration, still remains in operation. Marella Dream was built as Homeric in 1986 before moving to Holland America as Westerdam in 1988. When Carnival Corporation acquired Costa Cruises in 2000, she was then transferred to the Costa fleet as Costa Europa in 2002. She has since been under charter to Marella since 2010.[59] It was announced on May 19, 2014 that both the Statendam and Ryndam would be transferred to P&O Cruises Australia fleet.[60] Ship name Built In HAL service Gross tonnage Current flag Notes Image Amsterdam 2000 2000–2020 62,735 tons Netherlands Rotterdam class Sold to Fred.

Cruise Industry News. 15 July 2020.  "First Large Cruise Line With 2 Ships Back In Operation". Travel Off Path. 20 September 2020. As of 19 September "Costa became the first large cruise line to relaunch the operations of a second ship" Rotterdam, Statendam and Nieuw Amsterdam were Holland America Line's premier fleet of transatlantic ocean liners through the 1960's. Noted for reliability and spotlessness, they provided a weekly operation across the North Atlantic. In peak season, one of the ocean liners usually departed New York on Friday for Southampton and Le Havre (7 days), continuing to Rotterdam (8 days). Concurrently, there would be a Holland America Line westbound sailing every Tuesday from Rotterdam, and Wednesday from Le Havre and Southampton. Holland America LineRotterdam was the largest Dutch ocean liner to date, a superbly decorated flagship with rare woods, a wealth of artworks and innovative design. She was the first transatlantic liner without a traditional funnel and one of the first passenger ships to have engines mounted two-thirds aft instead of midship. Twin uptakes were used for the exhausts. In another unusual decision, the two classes aboard Rotterdam were divided horizontally rather than vertically, Holland America Linefacilitated by a unique midship double stairway with each class using one side separated from the other. Elevators would only stop at designated decks. First class public rooms were on the Bridge, Boat and Upper Promenade Decks, which included the distinctive "Ritz Carlton" and an indoor pool on D-Deck. Tourist class was on the Sun and Promenade Decks with an outdoor pool aft. Both dining rooms were on B-Deck. Holland America LineThe handsome Statendam was also a product of the late 1950's. Over 90% of the ship was devoted to Tourist class, with private facilities in nearly every cabin. Statendam was also designed with off-season luxury cruising in mind, which meant large cabins, ample open deck spaces and a large swimming pool. Holland America LineHolland America Line's beloved Nieuw Amsterdam was built before World War II when she was proclaimed "the ship of tomorrow". She was an art deco gem following the trend of the day in interior decoration and exterior design. When the war ended she returned to transatlantic service. " Sailing on one of these happy ships is truly an experience. Holland America LineYou enjoy sports, games and festive social activities. Continental cuisine. Devoted service by unobtrusive English-speaking stewards. Beautiful surroundings, highlighted by fine paneling, paintings, sculptures, mosaics and tapestries. It's an atmosphere to put you in exactly the right frame of mind for pleasures to come on the Continent ..." Holland America LineAlso in the fleet were the innovative Ryndam and Maasdam. Seeing a bright future for transatlantic travel after the war, the company ordered two passenger cargo ships to replace the 1920's vintage Volendam and Veendam, but a strong demand for mass economical transportation was realized. Plans were quickly changed and the two were completed as passenger liners. Tourist class occupied 90% of the passenger space, with the First class cabins and public rooms being exclusively on Boat Deck. Holland America LineBy the mid-1960's, with more emphasis on cruising, new opportunities were sought for Ryndam and Maasdam. They were assigned to summer crossings from Canada, "university-at-sea" voyages in winter and experimental line voyages to Australia. But within a few years, the ships were sold off to Epirotiki Lines and Polish Ocean Lines, respectively, for conversion and further service. By the end of the decade, cruising had become the primary occupation for Rotterdam and Statendam. In 1971, Nieuw Amsterdam closed out the last of Holland America Line's transatlantic ocean liner operations.
