ms Prinsendam
"Elegant Explorer"

Designed expressly to explore the rare corners of the world, the ms Prinsendam accommodates less than 800 guests, giving our guests the intimate feel of a yacht with the spaciousness of a large cruise ship. Our "Elegant Explorer" is known for her long range, exotic itineraries - most notably the 100-day-plus Grand World Voyage - and her elegant, sophisticated decor. The ms Prinsendam completed all Signature of Excellence enhancements to her public rooms and staterooms in Spring 2005.

The ms Prinsendam boasts 22 spacious public rooms, features commanding ocean views in 93 percent of her staterooms and private verandahs in 67 percent of her staterooms. Mid-ship guests will find a special signature sculpture suspended in a soaring three-story atrium that features etched fish, turtles and dolphins climbing a stunning cylinder of Bolle glass, lit with state-of-the-art fiber optics. With fine details such as highly polished woodwork, soft colors, marble flooring, and a world-class spa and fitness center, the "Elegant Explorer" is truly a classic ship worthy of her name.

Signature features include:

Atrium
Eclecticism rules in the ms Prinsendam's atrium where etched fish, turtles and dolphins climb a stunning cylinder of Bolle glass, lit with state-of-the-art fiber optics, seamlessly melding age-old symbolism with 21st century technology.

La Fontaine Dining Room
Elegance redefined under a night-sky ceiling with stained-glass orbs -- the La Fontaine Dining Room offers award-winning dining at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Aromatic soups, seasonal fish and succulent meats, crisp salads and divine desserts grace a fresh, imaginitive menu.

Pinnacle Grill
Guests who dine at the intimate, reservations-only Pinnacle Grill enjoy a dining experience themed to reflect the Pacific Northwest. Candlelight and fine décor create a romantic ambiance that sets the stage for fresh Northwest dishes and select wines.

Lido Restaurant
Light and luscious, the open buffet at the Lido Restaurant offers something for everyone. Pizza and fresh-baked cookies today; a salad with snow crab legs tomorrow; an ice cream cone every day of the week.

Ocean Bar
Warm wood tones and maritime motifs bring seasoned seafarers to the Ocean Bar. Rub shoulders with other "old salts" as you swap tales of journeys past.

Explorer's Lounge
Soft lighting and rich hues reminiscent of a Dutch tapestry -- these are the essential ingredients for the understated elegance of the Explorer's Lounge. This meeting place for friends old and new offers intimate seating for small gatherings.

Greenhouse Spa
Spaaaaaaah! Let yourself be pampered in the restful atmosphere of the Greenhouse Spa and Salon. New thermal suites, steam rooms, organic treatments and gentle hands banish stress and fatigue, leaving you relaxed and energized.

Queen's Lounge
Dazzling and daring, the Queen's Lounge is the ultimate show venue with semi-circular seating and brilliant pink and gold décor. Music, theatre, dance, comedy and culture all come to life on its illustrious stage.

Crow's Nest
The lively Crow's Nest offers a world-class view of the course ahead. A piano serenade, a lively conversation, a cocktail before dinner, a nightcap afterwards -- with these sweeping ocean vistas, you'll never forget you're at sea.

Onboard Art
Art is never simply for art's sake on a Holland America Line ship. Our collections range from priceless Dutch East India Company artifacts to comtemporary sculpture, from oil-on-canvas treasures to lighthearted watercolors. Each piece is meticulously chosen. The criteria? History, beauty, texture, worth, interest.

Lido Pool
Warm days with light, salty breezes are made for lounging poolside with an icy beverage in one hand and an epic novel in the other. Does this count as doing something or doing nothing? You'll soon know...

Golf Driving
It's like playing your favorite fairway, only you're at sea! All the thrill of a great swing and your best-ever drive can be found on board at the Golf Simulator. Days at sea are the perfect time to put in some practice; days ashore are the perfect time to reap the benefits.
