Nieuw Statendam shows off innovative new additions

Sailing on Nieuw Statendam

The name Nieuw Statendam (translated from the Dutch as "New Statendam") harkens back to the first Statendam ship in the late 1800s, and the new ship carries forward Holland America's storied 140-year heritage while incorporating modern, elegant touches.

Dining venues

Holland America is famous for offering the best dining experiences of any mainstream cruise line, and Nieuw Statendam offers the most culinary options in the fleet. Passengers dine in a formal setting in the main dining room, featuring a two-story venue with an airy, sophisticated ambience.

Other dining venues on board will include a redesigned Lido Market with themed stations; a new French seafood brasserie Rudi's Sel de Mer; a new farm-to-table concept dinner experience in the Culinary Arts Center, presented by Food & Wine magazine; and alternative restaurants Canaletto Italian restaurant, pan-Asian Tamarind and the Pinnacle Grill steakhouse, all for a modest additional fee.

Nieuw Statendam was built for entertainment. Lincoln Center Stage, a collaboration with Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, features classical music with a quintet combining piano and strings. The venues Billboard Onboard and B.B. King’s Blues Club, with a large dance floor, complete the new wide-ranging “Music Walk” experience.
