HUNKY Posted September 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2018 So, Wikipedia lists Nieuw Ryndam as the name of the third Pinnacle class ship. Rumor or fact? It's on the internet, it must be true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the internet, it must be true! It would make sense after Nieuw Statendam but nothing official out yet; Nieuw Prinsendam is another possibility since they seem to be going with the "Nieuw" "prefix" now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted September 3, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I've got mixed feelings about that name. Would love to see Ryndam used again, but don't like the idea of three Nieuw ships at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV8rix Posted September 3, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 3, 2018 If it's true I hope they will go with the nautical theme of the last Ryndam. She was my favorite, the "nautical" ship, filled with beautiful artifacts such as magnificent ship models, sextants, compasses, logbooks, bowsprit figures, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nieuw Amsterdam makes sense as the Dutch named Manhattan Island "Nieuw Amsterdam" Where is Nieuw Statendam, Nieuw Ryndam or Nieuw Prinsendam?

rkacruiser Posted September 3, 2018 #18 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I'd be surprised if the 3rd Pinnacle Class vessel was named Nieuw Prinsendam. The name Prinsendam is associated with smaller vessels than the newbuild will be. If HAL decides to follow the thinking of some cruise companies of building smaller, exploration type vessels, reserving the name of Nieuw Prinsendam, or Prinsendam III for that vessel might make sense. As some others have said, I totally prefer returning to historic roots and use the Roman Numeral system for vessel naming rather than "Nieuw".

Typhoon1 Posted September 3, 2018 #19 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Will we see a 4th Pinnacle? One of the officers on the Koningsdam told me HAL has an option for a fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of the Signature Class vessels, 4 ships of that Class seems to be the most recent building plan.
