Holland America Upgrades Prinsendam


Holland America Line has completed a $20 million upgrade to the Prinsendam - the smallest ship in the Holland America Line fleet with a passenger count of 793.

The enhancements include new luxury bathrooms in all staterooms, the addition of the Explorations Cafe, an expanded and refurbished shopping promenade, and new carpets and stone flooring.

Stateroom upgrades included remodeled bathrooms and redesigned closet space. New carpet, desks, chairs and other furniture were also installed. New carpeting was laid throughout the dining room and lounges while the Lido restaurant was resurfaced with stone and carpeting. Serving counter and seating areas were upgraded. Some outside decks were recovered, too. On the sports deck, new croquet and bocce courts and two new putting greens were installed.

A new Stuyvesant Room also was created to serve as a meeting room that doubles as Club HAL space for children and the library near the Explorations Cafe was expanded with more space and books.

All balconies received the final improvements to meet recently adopted International Maritime Organization regulations. Additional technical improvements were made with upgrades to radar systems, lifeboats and other nautical equipment.

Prinsendam
travels on voyages from 14 to 73 days to exotic destinations worldwide.
