Excerpts from Holland America's Website
about the Amsterdam
It was from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, that bold Dutch traders sailed in search
of treasures unknown, founding a rich legacy upon which today's fleet is built. Everywhere you look,
a sense of style and history pervades. Priceless antiques and original works of art. Burnished
brass. Sweeping staircases. A promenade that completely encircles the ship. Teak deck chairs, sleek
and inviting. Everything is genuine. All this and more can be found on the elegant ms Amsterdam.
