Holland America Cruises was founded in 1873 as the Netherlands-America Steamship Company (NASM), a shipping and passenger line. Because it provided service to the Americas, it became known as Holland America Cruise Line.
The company's first ocean liner was the original Rotterdam, which sailed its maiden voyage from the Netherlands to New York City, a 15-day voyage.
With more than 130 years of experience, Holland America Line is recognized as the undisputed leader in the cruise industry's premium segment.
With the introduction of the 1,918-passenger ms Noordam in early 2006, Holland America Line's fleet grows to 13 ships, offering nearly 500 cruises from more than 25 ports.
Itineraries range from two to 108 days and visit all seven continents, including new Australia/New Zealand and Asia sailings, a world cruise and popular sailings to several ports in the Caribbean, Alaska, Mexico and Europe. The ms Noordam also will offer Caribbean sailings in the winter from New York City.
Holland America Cruises lead the cruise industry premium niche by offering virtually unlimited cruise and Cruise Tour options that span the globe and satisfy every traveller's appetite for exploration.
Over the course of the company's rich history as first a shipping and passenger line and subsequently a cruise line, Holland America Line's fleet has carried nearly 10 million passengers, either to new lives in the New World or to exotic locales for vacations of a lifetime. Holland America Line marked its 130th anniversary in 2003.
