HOLLAND America Line’s
latest Pinnacle class ship ms
Koningsdam will be christened
by Her Majestic Queen Maxima
of the Netherlands, at a naming
ceremony in Rotterdam on 20
May.
So far, 11 Holland America
Line ships have been christened
by members of the Dutch royal
family, with then-Princess
Maxima christening the ms Nieuw
Amsterdam in 2010.
“We are incredibly honoured
that Her Majesty Queen Maxima
will carry on the tradition of
Dutch Royalty christening Holland
America Line ships, which began
87 years ago,” remarked HAL
president, Orlando Ashford.
“We chose Rotterdam as the
location for the official ceremony
because of the deep historic
connection between Holland
America Line, the city and the
people of the Netherlands.”
Following her European season,
Koningsdam will sail to Fort
Lauderdale, Florida for winter
and spring Caribbean cruises.
