Bookings are now open for the premiere voyage and 2018–2019 inaugural Caribbean cruise season for Holland America Line‘s ms Nieuw Statendam.
Due for delivery Dec. 1, 2018, the second Pinnacle Class ship in the fleet is under construction in Italy, and its debut is highly anticipated among cruisers.
When the new ship departs the yard, it will be delivered in Venice, Italy, and will then depart Rome Dec. 5 on its Premiere Voyage, a 14-day trans-Atlantic crossing to Fort Lauderdale. The ship will then spend the winter season cruising round-trip from the South Florida port on seven-day Caribbean itineraries, with select three-, four- and 10-day options.
“Every milestone we reach with Nieuw Statendam brings us closer to delivery, and opening for bookings in the inaugural season is an exciting step as we officially give guests the opportunity to start planning their vacations on this beautiful new ship,” said Orlando Ashford, president, Holland America Line. “The crossing is a great chance for guests to really get to know the ship and explore every corner during the sea days, and the Caribbean season is a perfect blend of ports that highlight the beauty, diversity and relaxed ambiance of that region.”
