Rotterdam
Rotterdam: Tasteful elegance & refined entertainment
Snapshot
Holland America Line's grand new ship Rotterdam is more than a sister to Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam, part of its Pinnacle class of ships. After its launch in July 2021, Rotterdam is now the august cruise line's flagship.
Let's avoid confusion right up front: This is a completely different ship than Rotterdam, which Holland America retired from the fleet and sold off in 2020. The new build heralds the latest in tasteful design, top-rate cusine and refined culture at sea.
Light modern design surrounds you on board this ship. Staterooms and suites feature Euro-Top mattresses and massage showerheads. Public spaces are bright during the day and sparkle at night. Dining is always a special treat on Holland America ships, and options here include a number of specialty restaurants, including French brassiere Rudi's Sel de Mer, Tamarind and Canaletto.
Entertainment on board focuses on music, music, music. Great venues include the new Rolling Stone Rock Room, B.B. King's Blues Club, Billboard Onboard, World Stage and Lincoln Center Stage.

Among the many highlights on the ship are Lincoln Center Stage, offering refined chamber music; the popular B.B. King's Blues Club, bringing Memphis music to sea, the Rolling Stone Rock Room with classic rock hits, and Billboard Onboard, where live musicians entertain the crowd with chart-topping hits.
