Every Holland America Line ship, in brief

Holland America Line sails 11 ships as of mid-2026: the three Pinnacle-class flagships (Rotterdam, Nieuw Statendam, Koningsdam), two Signature-class, four Vista-class, and the smaller R-class pair Volendam and Zaandam, a deliberately mid-size fleet in an era of giants.

Good to know

Holland America Line, in a few facts

  • Founded in 1873 as a Netherlands–America shipping line; it carried hundreds of thousands of emigrants to the New World before it ever carried a holidaymaker.
  • Seven ships named Rotterdam since 1872, the current flagship recreated the original's maiden crossing for the line's 150th anniversary.
  • Deliberately caps its biggest ships near 100,000 GT, betting on space, itineraries and live music over scale.
