Holland America Line's Nieuw Amsterdam, Deck By Deck

Stepping aboard Nieuw Amsterdam last week in Venice felt much like stepping aboard Eurodam two years ago in Rotterdam. Even the events were familiar. In both cases, the inaugural ceremonies fell over America's Independence Day, and in both cases, royalty from the Netherlands named the ships.

Princess Maxima of the Netherlands named Nieuw Amsterdam, following in the footsteps of Dutch royalty who have named Holland America Line ships over the decades.

With deck plans from either ship, you could easily find your way around the other. Indeed, during an age when other companies are introducing ships with headline-grabbing innovations - grass lawns and restaurant complexes on Celebrity, entertainment megaplexes on Oasis and Epic - Holland America Line continues to steer the course with its Signature-class ships - traditional mid-size vessels with a mix of the tried-and-true. HAL President and CEO Stein Kruse calls it "part of the beauty of Holland America Line, consistency as we build classes of ships."
