From the Eurodam News Blog that most of us have followed through the last 18 months looks as if we can now follow all the HA ships... so adieu and well done to the members, contributors etc of the of the EU blog board!!!

It was a wonderful way to experience the the birth of a ship, it's inauguration and cruises to date......thank you.....Cristiano.

"This will be our last post on Eurodam News Blog. On Monday, Jan. 5, 2009, we are launching a new Holland America Blog at

http://www.hollandamericablog.com (http://www.hollandamericablog.com/).

Eurodam News Blog’s content will be rolled into the new site, which includes a blog for every ship in the fleet as well as some special features like Captain Albert Schoonderbeek’s popular blog. Until the file transfer is completed, Eurodam News Blog will be available as an online archive.

The Eurodam News Blog was the first of its kind in the cruise industry — the first time a cruise line had provided a glimpse behind the scenes into the construction and operation of a new cruise ship — and was one of the very first blogs created by any cruise line.

Over the past 18 months, we have learned a lot and we’ve made a lot of friends through managing the site. We hope our friends will visit us at the new Holland America Blog and continue to contribute to the creation of our online community.

Our blogging team — myself, Julie and Janet — wish to express our sincere thanks to all of our contributors, Eurodam’s officers and crew, the ship aficionados and Holland America fans who visit regularly, and the many guests who have played a role in making this Web site such an interesting place to visit.

We couldn’t have done it without you. "

I actually have been following this hollandamericablog for a couple weeks... I discovered it by chance...

I love it! What a great way to get the whole fleet involved... so long as they post...

Most of it so far on there (and I understand it isn't offical til monday) is the Veendam and Eurodam... or press releases...

We need to get Maasdam and Noordam busy posting to the new blog. :)

I love the idea of a blog for the whole fleet.

Great idea.

I've been wondering for quite a while why HAL doesn't do this ... now it appears they're going to! GREAT!

I wonder when the new blog for the Nieuw Amsterdam newbuild will start up?
