| Koningsdam makes an entrance

HOLLAND America Line
celebrated the delivery of
ms Koningsdam
over the weekend with
an official handover ceremony
at Fincantieri’s Shipyard in
Marghera, Italy.
The ceremony was attended by
Italy’s Minister of Infrastructure
& Transport Graziano Delrio who
expressed appreciation for the
relationship between Carnival
Corporation & Fincantieri.
Shipyard employees who spent
the last two years building the
99,500-tonne, 2,650-passenger
vessel were invited on board with
their families for a party.
The ship sailed from the
yard on Sun to make its way
to Civitavecchia in Rome for
its premier voyage sailing the
Mediterranean from 08 Apr.
This will be followed by sailings
in the Baltic, British Isles and
Northern Europe.
