  • Let the intimate ms Prinsendam welcome you aboard. Carrying fewer than 800 guests, Prinsendam offers a very special experience to those who voyage with her. Forty percent of her spacious staterooms feature private verandahs for sunning and relaxing. Additional comfort waits in the spa's warmly sensual aroma-stone therapy. Guests may enjoy the cuisine of the Pacific Northwest in the intimate, reservations-only Pinnacle Grill before attending Broadway-style entertainment in the Queen's Lounge.

    The beautiful Prinsendam

    9/2017 Northern Eurorpe
    Full Review
    The Prinsendam is my favourite ship in the Holland America fleet; at this point I have not sailed recently on other cruise lines. The crew are superb and the Captain is always likely to surprise you with something unexpected and special - such as visiting a tiny Greenland village that was not on the itinerary and coming back with fresh fish the whole ship. On a previous Prinsendam cruise the Captain took up right up to the sea ice, well beyond the Arctic Circle and that year we went further north than any other ship that season. Those are the things that make cruising on the Prinsendam so special. The crew are exceptional and make every effort to ensure that all the passengers are given the very best.
    Pros Smaller ship so can go into many ports the larger ships cannot; excellent staff throughout;
    Cons Cabins could benefit from an overhaul.

    Enjoyed cruise and ship very much. Two exceptions: Shows were too loud and music selection was not geared to audience; some buses were difficult to negotiate and this detracted from enjoyment of tours. Topical speakers were excellent!.
    Pros Small ship and new ports; excellent food; friendly staff

    My Favorite Ship

    11/2016 Italy, Spain (4 ports) Portugal (2 ports) Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
    Full Review
    This is, and always, will be my favorite way to travel. For a small ship she is very stable and oh so easy to get around. Only drawback is she does not sail much in waters easily accessible to us in the U.S. As for the line, we have sailed many times with Holland America and have yet to be disappointed. Always feel we are in good hands.
    Pros Small, Convenient, Elegant, Teriffic staff, Knowledgeable, pleasant, courteous

    Great Cruise and Itinerary
    Pros Small ship so easy to get around. Because ship was small, we were able to go to ports larger ships can't. Staff friendly and food was great.
    Cons Ship is an older one so there are not as many amenities as larger ships. Ship seemed to have water leaking issues.

    Small but excellent

    9/2017 East coast of the UK, Norway, Denmark and Hamburg
    Full Review
    With over 3/4 of the passengers repeating on this vessel it shows how loyal people are to this ship. Smaller size was more manageable onboard and allowed the crew to get to know who each of us were. Great itineraries, smaller ports were very glad to see us and went out of their way to welcome us. Food in the dining room was excellent, we found the Lido not as good as the Koningsdam. Dinning room service had a very few glitches but there were happily and speedily corrected by a staff that was cheerful and personable. Wine stewards were knowledgeable and not overly pushy, happy to recommend wines in our price range. All in all, a very happy ship full of repeat loyal passengers that wanted very much to be there.
    Pros Smaller size alows access to many ports not available to bigger ships. This size allows personal service and recognition by crew.
    Cons Smaller staterooms, higher prices
