Holland America’s Koningsdam is a new class of ship. It’s a majestic vessel that ushers in a special era for the first-class cruise line. Guests sailing Koningsdam enjoy all of the nautical traditions that Holland America is known for. And, they have bar-raising, 21st-century elegance at every turn.
Let’s take a look at Koningsdam and the delights that await passengers cruising on her.
The Ship
Koningsdam offers Holland America’s signature services and contemporary style, throughout public and private spaces. This ship boasts a perfect harmony of classic and modern. It marries timeless luxury and sophistication with high technology, to give guests a myriad of light-filled spaces, fluid-curved sitting rooms, and stunning architectural elements to enjoy.
Koningsdam’s interior is inspired by music. The ship’s design features are woven together in an innovative way that includes compelling elements by Tihany, a leader in creating artistic décor.
The Itineraries
Koningsdam’s ports of call are as captivating as the ship herself. Itineraries on Koningsdam include a 7-day cruise to ports in Italy, 12-day visits through Greek and Turkish treasures, and a 19-day voyage past Italian ports and through the Mediterranean.
Dining
Dining on Koningsdam highlights some new culinary ventures for Holland America, such as the Grand Dutch Café. This whimsical eatery allows guests to stop in for a fine pale lager, or a favorite coffee drink, and take light snacks to go. Passengers who like Italian food can dine at Canaletto, a festive restaurant that’s also a first for the line. On Koningsdam, you have access to rich cuisines from the Southeast, Asia, China, and Japan in the ship’s Tamarind restaurant. Casual meals are featured at Lido Market and the poolside Dive-In.
Bars

Throughout your cruise, the All-Stars band will bring you the best of Memphis music in the ship’s lounge. Other nightclub-type environments on Koningsdam include spots highlighting funky Latin rhythms and smooth soulful tunes.
Outdoor Activities

Sail on Koningsdam and you have access to a jogging track, sports court, and other outdoor spots for relaxation as well.
