Holland America Statendam

The Holland America Line's ms Statendam doesn't carry great hordes of passengers, which many people prefer. The luxury ship has a "Dutch life and exploration" design theme and is decorated with art and artifacts worth millions. The Statendam mainly offers Panama Canal cruise itineraries from Fort Lauderdale; see the details below.

Amenities on the Statendam include the Pinnacle Grill reservations-only restaurant, Greenhouse Spa, Van Gogh Show Lounge, and the Crow's Nest nightclub. A very popular feature is the Culinary Arts Center, a demonstration kitchen with gourmet cooking classes. Read a Holland America Statendam review.
