The
ms Maasdam is the fifth ship in Holland America Line's more
than 130-year history to bear the name. Featuring an interior motif that
pays homage to the historical Dutch East and West India companies of the
17th through 19th centuries, the centerpiece of this elegant ship features
Luciano Vistosi's "Totem," a monumental sculpture using nearly 2,000
glimmering pieces of glass, prominently displayed in a soaring three-story
atrium. She exudes a warm, elegant feel throughout by combining rich,
polished woods over $2 million dollars of art and antiques. The ms
Maasdam completed all Signature of Excellence enhancements to her
public rooms and staterooms in Spring 2006.
At 720-feet, the ms Maasdam is designed to carry fewer guests
while providing them with more space for maximum comfort. Accommodating
1,258 guests, many staterooms feature commanding ocean views, and each of
the 149 suites has a private verandah.

- The two-tier Rotterdam Dining Room features impeccable service and
