History

AI-generated

MS Nieuw Amsterdam is the fourth ship to bear that name in Holland America Line's history and the 81st to join the fleet. The ship was christened by Princess Maxima of the Netherlands in Venice before beginning service, and has since experienced several notable incidents including being driven ashore by strong winds in Mexico, colliding with a fleet-mate in Vancouver, and aiding a distressed sailing vessel off Cape Town during a crew repatriation effort related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
