Designed to explore the remote corners of the world in elegance and style, the ms Prinsendam is Holland America Line's most intimate ship. Accommodating just 835 passengers, she gives guests the feel of a classic yacht with the spaciousness of a cruise ship. The ms Prinsendam offers many cozy areas in which to find your favorite spot, most of her staterooms feature commanding ocean views and many have private verandahs.

The ms Prinsendam, or "Princes" ship, is truly a classic ship worthy of her name.

MISCELLANEOUS PHOTOS FROM THE PRINSENDAM
[
 
[
On Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Westerdam, Oosterdam, Prinsendam, Zuiderdam: Every single Stateroom has a cooler (HAL does not like to use the word refrigerator as they don't get as cool as some medicines that require "refrigeration" need... but they will get beverages cold...)
[
On the rest of the HAL fleet (and note the above says NIEUW AMSTERDAM... NOT  Amsterdam ) If it has a verandah, it has a cooler!

Neptune Lounge
[
[
[
Neptune Lounge: The FAMOUS coffee machine in the Neptune Lounge. Here's a BIG TIP.... If you love your caffeine, punch the latte or cappuccino button and let it cycle....THEN push the espresso button to get an EXTRA shot! It has been mentioned by Suite guests that there is at least one (1) lap top computer for the use of guests in the Neptune Lounge. The regular Internet and connection fees would still be applicable. The Neptune Lounge is ONLY for Deluxe Verandah Suite and Penthouse Suite Guests.
