Prinsendam (Statendam Class)

The compact atrium is pierced by a tall cylinder of Bolae glass, which is lit from within by fiber optics so that etched dolphins and sea turtles seem to swim up the center.

Alongside her newer fleetmates, Prinsendam appears positively diminutive. Launched in 1988 and originally christened Royal Viking Sun for the now-defunct Royal Viking Line, the luxury ship subsequently sailed as Seabourn Cruise Line's Seabourn Sun before joining Holland America Line in 2002. Extensive renovations added signature Holland America Line features to the boutique-style Prinsendam. Artwork, antiques, and Signature of Excellence elements such as a Culinary Arts Center and upgraded cabin amenities have now made their way onboard.

Former Holland America captain Stephen Card commemorates his love for ships and the sea by creating technically accurate paintings of Holland America Line ships, both past and present. Ask at reception for a "Self-Guided Artwork Tour" list, and look for five of Captain Card's paintings on display aboard Prinsendam.
