HAL Web Site Adds ms Nieuw Statendam to Ship List

I was going to check some deck plan questions for our upcoming Oosterdam cruise and noticed in the list of "Our Mid-Size Ships" Oosterdam had shifted one spot right. Looking closer I see the insertion of ms Nieuw Statendam. Including deck plans and stateroom info. I had not seen this last time I checked (yesterday) so I think it is a recent add. Link

Thanks for the heads up and it was just added to HAL's web site schedule today but word is it was available for some bookings yesterday via PCC's. The itineraries appear to be a lot of Caribbean (following the TA from Rome) in early 2019.

On the deck plans I don't see any new restaurant that they once hinted was coming ...

It looks very large for a Holland America ship.

It's identical to Koningsdam.

Now that the ship is listed and passengers are making reservations, it would be great to have a Roll Call added as well.

A Nieuw Statendam Roll Call thread has now been opened on the HAL Roll Calls Forum.
