Fleet
 For more than 130 years, Holland America Line has taken discriminating guests like you to the most magnificent destinations around the world. Today, with 12 premium cruise ships in a five-star fleet--three in the spectacular new Vista Class--Holland America continues to travel the world's waterways, providing the ultimate onboard experience as they cruise to more than 280 ports of call and visit scenic cruising destinations on all seven continents. From the moment you step aboard one of these classic cruise ships, you will believe that the Golden Age of ocean travel has just begun. It's evident in the gleam of brass brightwork, the curve of a teak deck chair, the sound of pleasant musical chimes summoning you to dinner. These are the traditions that have long defined classic cruising, refined for a new generation seeking sophistication and romance. Holland America Line's commitment to remaining the highest rated premium cruise line is demonstrated by their Signature of Excellence initiative. This two year, $225-million program provides unparalleled product and service enhancements and significantly raises the standard in premium cruising. Signature of Excellence enhancements encompass virtually every area of the ships and range from new state-of-the-art facilities and public areas to new services and amenities. This initiative is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2006. Delight in the details of the fleet as you: - Explore the sister flagships ms Amsterdam and ms Rotterdam.
