Holland America Line:
MS Nieuw Amsterdam -One of our favorite ships.
We sailed her twice, both times to the Western Caribbean.
Once in 1987 out of Tampa, and again in (I think) 1996
from New Orleans.
Unfortunately in those days I never thought to take many
pictures of the ship itself.
 
Noordam- (IV)
New in 2006, we sailed her in January 2007. Beautiful
traditional looking ship with all the latest bells and whistles.

Nieuw Amsterdam was launched in 1982 along with the almost identical Noordam (III). She weighs 33,930 gross tons, with 606 staterooms and a capacity of 1,212 passengers.
In 2001 she was sold and renamed the Patriot for American Classic Cruises.
That line went under in less than a year. HAL repossessed her and sold her to Thomson. She now sails the Medditeranean as the Thomson Spirit.
