ms Nieuw Amsterdam deck plans

MS Nieuw Amsterdam IV (2010-built, last refurbished in 2023) is the “New York City” themed and second of the Signature-class Holland America ships – together with ms Eurodam. Previously, under the same name has been operated the Thomson Spirit ship. HAL Nieuw Amsterdam ship is named after NYC. New York City was previously known as “Nieuw Amsterdam” (or “New Amsterdam” in Dutch). Another ship with a “Nieuw” name is the Pinnacle-class Nieuw Statendam (2018).

The boat has 12 passenger-accessible decks (8 with cabins), 12 lounges and bars, 3 swimming pools (one with a retractable roof), 7 Jacuzzis (outdoor whirlpool hot tubs), 10 elevators (4 are scenic/with glass walls).

• The ship’s theatre hosts daily expert lectures, presentations, a nature-themed game show with BBC Earth screenings and introductions by the crews that filmed these series. A signature concert in the evenings is based on the “Frozen Planet” program (polar regions-themed) – a spectacular multimedia show with live musicians.
• The ship’s children club facilities feature an explorer trail, workshops (including on journalism and filming), fact shows (animals, dinosaurs).
• HAL's themed cruises feature access to the BBC Earth series creators, sharing behind-the-scenes media and stories. Children have the opportunity to participate in filming workshops.
