Holland America Line’s Nieuw Statendam is set to debut in December with eight more staterooms than sister ship Koningsdam, and all accommodations have added touches.

Among the most noticeable enhancements is the redesigned Pinnacle Suite—the largest on the ship—as well as reconfigured family staterooms. However, Nieuw Statendam still provides all stateroom hallmarks introduced on Koningsdam, including single-cruiser accommodations, as well as a wider range of suite configurations.

HAL president Orlando Ashford said the changes spring from guest feedback and the line's own assessments.

Nieuw Statendam adds five more ocean-view and three more interior staterooms, bringing the total stateroom count to 1,339. The ship features 103 ocean-view and 280 interior rooms, ranging from 225 square feet to 266 square feet. It will have 851 verandah or verandah spa accommodations, bringing the total staterooms that have a verandah, including suites, to 912.

The 32 family ocean-view staterooms range from 222 square feet to 231 square feet and have been reconfigured to feature more living space. Accommodating up to five people, family staterooms offer special amenities including two bathrooms and extra closet space. The 12 ocean-view staterooms for solo cruisers range from 127 square feet to 172 square feet and are located on the forward main deck.

The Pinnacle Suite stretches over 1,290 square feet with a bedroom, living room, dining area, dressing room and verandah with whirlpool. Nieuw Statendam’s Pinnacle Suite was reconfigured to offer an open-concept design with the living room and dining area in one large space. The suite has a grand entrance, refreshed color scheme and luxe touches like custom furniture and a double-sided television.

Forty-three Neptune Suites and two Neptune Spa Suites range from 465 square feet to a 855 square feet. These accommodations (as well as the Pinnacle Suite) give access to the concierge-served Neptune Lounge. Nieuw Statendam’s Neptune Lounge was enlarged to allow for additional seating and more windows.

The ship's 14 Signature Suites measure up to 400 square feet, and the 104 Vista Suites range from 260 square feet to 356 square feet. Signature and Vista suite amenities include oversized bath towels, fresh flowers, a pillow menu, mini bar and one-touch phone concierge service.

Travelers looking to focus on health and wellness during their cruise can book a Spa Suite or Verandah Spa, Outside Spa or Inside Spa stateroom, conveniently located near the Greenhouse Spa & Salon. All come with yoga mats for use during the voyage and an iPod docking station.

All Nieuw Statendam accommodations have bedside USB ports, customized wood cabinets, frameless glass shower doors, HAL's signature Mariner's Dream bed, plush bathrobes, a premium massage showerhead, flat-panel TV with video on demand, mini fridge, fresh fruit on request and bath amenities from Elemis Aromapure.
