New Holland America Line Ship Embarks on Maiden Voyage

Holland America Line’s newest ship Rotterdan has departed Amsterdam on its maiden voyage.

The 2,668-passenger ship will sail a two-week voyage to Fort Lauderdale, where it will homeport for Caribbean cruises. Rotterdam will sail cruises ranging from six to 11 days in the Caribbean, with every itinerary featuring a stop at Holland America’s private island in the Bahamas, Half Moon Cay.

Delivered to the cruise line in July 2021, the ship will be officially named by Princess Margriet of the Netherlands in spring 2022.

“Rotterdam’s maiden voyage has been highly anticipated for months by our guests and team members eager to welcome them aboard,” said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line. “Rotterdam is a beautiful ship and the fourth in our fleet to begin cruising this year.  We are excited to bring her to Florida and the Caribbean soon on her first sailing.”
