Amsterdam (Amsterdam Class)

The elaborate astrolabe rising 30 feet above a marble floor in the heart of the central atrium is a finely detailed sculpture as well as a timepiece.

Amsterdam is a sister ship to Rotterdam, which sails on world cruises and extended voyages, and both share Holland American Line flagship status. One of the most traditional ships in the fleet, Amsterdam interiors display abundant wood appointments in the public areas on Promenade and Lower Promenade decks in addition to priceless works of art throughout.

The creation of the expansive floral stained-glass ceiling that provides a focal point for Amsterdam's formal dining room required the use of some state-of-the-art technology that was developed especially for the ship. Traditional stained-glass in leaded frames wouldn't have been safe on a moving ship.
