Holland America reveals further Excellence details
SEATTLE – Holland America Line has announced further details on its Signature of Excellence enhancement programme, including project specifics and expected timings for all five ships scheduled for upgrades.
The Signature of Excellence initiative announced nearly five years ago in November 2003 has evolved into an ongoing and comprehensive review of every aspect of the Holland America Line experience and exceeds a price tag of US$525 million.
Other than ms Veendam, currently sailing in Alaska after a 34-day dry dock makeover, and ms Rotterdam, whose enhancements are due for completion in December 2009, the new enhancements on ms Maasdam, ms Ryndam and ms Statendam are scheduled for completion in two phases during future dry docks.
“Veendam looks spectacular,†said Richard D. Meadows, executive vice president, marketing, sales and guest programs.
Signature of Excellence upgrades begin with new fixtures and soft goods in staterooms and bathrooms. Plans are for each ship to have an additional 44 to 46 staterooms, 32 with verandahs and the remaining will be inside staterooms.
