What a lovely ship this Holland America one is. Debuting in 1993, this 55,451grt ship is the fifth in their illustrious history to bear the name. A pretty ship along with her sisters, Statendam (1992 and also the fifth in the fleet to bear that name) Ryndam (1994) and Veendam (1996). In 2008 Carnival/HAL announced they were going to change the look of these beautiful vessels to cram more passengers on. She was anchored in Plymouth on the 20th July stern facing The Hoe. Rowan and I decided to take a harbour tour so we could see her better although annoyingly the boat only went one side of Drake's Island.
