Holland America Line revealed the name of its new 99,500-ton cruise ship slated for delivery in February 2016 will be ms Koningsdam. While the name pays homage to the company?s rich heritage and deep roots in the Netherlands, it also reflects a new era with a bold name that is an original in Holland America Line?s 141-year history. The 2,650-passenger ship is an evolution in design for the line ? a new Pinnacle Class ? and is being built at Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri?s Marghera shipyard. Since 1883 every Holland America passenger vessel has borne the ?dam? suffix, and ms Koningsdam carries on that tradition. The word koning means ?king? in Dutch, and the name celebrates the majestic new ship. The name also pays honor to His Majesty King Willem-Alexander, the first king of the Netherlands in over a century. When it debuts in February 2016, ms Koningsdam will be a new type of ship for Holland America Line. At 99,500 gross tons and carrying 2,650 guests and 1,025 crew members, the vessel is the largest ever built for the company. The increased size provides more opportunities to add new public spaces and venues, and several innovative features will debut on ms Koningsdam. Familiar spaces and amenities currently featured across the Holland America Line fleet will also be found on the new ship. To bring a fresh vision to ms Koningsdam, Holland America Line tapped Adam D. Tihany, one of the world?s pre-eminent hospitality designers. Tihany joins distinguished maritime designer and architect Bjorn Storbraaten who worked with Holland America Line on ms Nieuw Amsterdam and ms Eurodam. The two firms will create a modern and contemporary ambiance while incorporating Holland America Line?s classic hallmarks.
