Nieuw Amsterdam Overview
Did you know New York used to be called Nieuw Amsterdam? There's no escaping this heritage on board the Nieuw Amsterdam cruise ship. One of Holland America Line's finest mid-sized vessels, she exudes much of the Big Apple's charm.
Launched in May 2010, she is the fifth ship to bear her name; the very first Nieuw Amsterdam set out to sea in 1906 - be sure to keep an eye out for memorabilia on board.
The Nieuw Amsterdam specs
Weighing in at 86,700 tonnes and measuring 929 feet in length, the Nieuw Amsterdam is classed as a mid-size vessel. She accommodates a maximum of 2,106 guests and has a 929-strong crew. Her maximum cruising speed is 23.9 knots.
Inside the Nieuw Amsterdam
The Nieuw Amsterdam's links to New York are evident in her interior decor. Step inside the Manhattan Dining Room and you'll immediately notice the 'Big Apple' colour scheme. Meanwhile the $3 million art collection is home to many beautiful depictions of this big, glamorous city.
The restaurants, bars, lounges and other public spaces all make the most of natural light where possible, and are often decorated with beautiful fresh flowers. Little touches like this do a lot to create a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.
Things to do on board the Nieuw Amsterdam
Don't pack too many books - you'll want to make the most of the activities on board. When you're not relaxing by the pool, you could be watching a world-class cooking demonstration at the Culinary Arts Centre, listening to live music at the Explorations Cafe or attending a computer course at the Digital Workshop powered by Windows.
As the sun sets, some of the activities start to wind down, but only to be replaced with a dazzling array of entertainment options, such as live music, formal nights and the Holland America Line's renowned Dancing with the Stars: At Sea competition.
Nieuw Amsterdam restaurants and bars
From Italian classics to modern American-style comfort food to delicious Asian-inspired dishes, your taste buds will be spoiled for choice on board the Nieuw Amsterdam. With a total of seven eateries, as well as a few venues offering light snacks, you're definitely not going to go hungry!
The bars are a great place to socialise, day and night. The Nieuw Amsterdam is always well-stocked with fine wines, cold beers, fresh cocktail ingredients and premium spirits, as well as several quality non-alcoholic options.
Nieuw Amsterdam itineraries and shore excursions
How does snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas sound? Or what about a tour of Gaudi architecture in Barcelona? Maybe a hike up Mount Vesuvius? These are just some of the amazing shore excursions available from the Nieuw Amsterdam. The exact excursions will of course depend on your destination, but you can expect a good mix of historical, cultural, scenic and family-friendly tours at all ports.
Cabins on board the Nieuw Amsterdam
There's nothing like a good night's sleep, something the Nieuw Amsterdam designers must be in full agreement with, as each of the 1,053 cabins are fitted with Sealy Euro-Top mattresses and hypoallergenic pillows.
No matter whether you are in a 141 square feet interior cabin or a 1,000 square feet penthouse, you can expect great service on arrival. Small gestures such as fresh fruit and chocolates go a long way to making you feel at home. All cabins are equipped with a flatscreen television, air conditioning, a safe and a telephone.
