Holland America’s Nieuw Amsterdam is the fourth in a long line of illustrious ships of the same name. The first Nieuw Amsterdam served during WWI; the second is the model for Holland America’s logo and was a favourite amongst Hollywood heavy hitters like Rita Hayworth and Spencer Tracey. Taking a bit from each of her predecessors, this ship features the latest additions to Holland America cruise tours in Alaska with Tamarind, a pan-Asian restaurant; the Explorer’s Lounge Bar, which offers wine tastings; and a new luxury jewellery boutique—perfect for elegant accommodation in Alaska. This Nieuw Amsterdam also gives a nod to New York, the city she’s named after, with exquisite art displayed throughout the ship.
