About us:

With more than 130 years of experience, Holland America Line is recognized as the undisputed leader in the cruise industry's premium segment. With the introduction of the 1,918-passenger ms Noordam in early 2006, Holland America Line's fleet grows to 13 ships, offering nearly 500 cruises from more than 25 home ports. Itineraries range from two to 108 days and visit all seven continents, including new Australia/New Zealand and Asia sailings, a world cruise and popular sailings to several ports in the Caribbean, Alaska, Mexico and Europe.

Seattle, June 7, 2006 (6:00a.m. PDT) – At 5:44 a.m. local time on Tuesday, June 6, the ms Noordam rescued 22 people from the Aegean Sea in waters between Turkey and Greece.  The individuals, believed to be refugees from a number of countries, had been sailing on a boat which had capsized.
