Excerpts from Holland America's Website
about the Statendam

Holland America's ms Statendam celebrates the most modern advances in guest amenities and nautical design. Yet this magnificent ship also perfected maritime traditions and service we've preserved over more than a century of worldwide cruising.

Guests dine on the most extensive menus at sea, presented on gleaming Rosenthal china by crisply-uniformed staff. Alternately, for today's more casual lifestyles, our relaxed Lido is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And 24-hour room service is complimentary--perfect for intimate dining on the verandah of your spacious stateroom. Choices. Freedom. To do as much or as little as you please.
