About the Holland America Line ms Nieuw Amsterdam
Holland America Line has installed an array of works valued at over $3 million, ranging from antiques by traditional Dutch masters to creations by renowned contemporary artists. Some pieces reflect the Dutch Golden Age while others, such as the spectacular centrepiece in the atrium, express a contemporary curiosity.
Adorning the ceiling of Nieuw Amsterdam is an eye-catching abstract sculpture of the inverted New York skyline made from clear translucent blocks that hang upside-down.
The sculpture was created by husband and wife Italian artists Gilbert Lebigre and Corinne Roger of Creazioni Lebigre & Roger. The significant collection, which includes works by celebrated artists Andy Warhol, Richard Estes and Roy Lichtenstein, continues with astounding displays throughout the ship.

Ports of Call
Vancouver (Days 1, 15)

Most of Canada's imports from and exports to the Orient and Australia pass through Vancouver, Canada's gateway to the Pacific. From the harbor entrance, spot the Lion's Gate, made up of twin mountain peaks closely resembling crouching lions. Visitors enjoy discovering this cosmopolitan city, from the shops of Robson Street to historic Gastown.
Juneau (Day 3)

Valdez (Day 5)

Kodiak (Day 6)

Kodiak, Alaska’s largest island, is also known for its outstanding fishing, with access to all five species of salmon along with cod, trout, halibut and rockfish. Kodiak’s most popular attraction is Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, a 2,812 mile refuge that covers two-thirds of the island and is home to 3,500 bears. The island’s mountainous terrain is also home to foxes, otters and eagles.
Anchorage (Day 7)

Alaska's largest city is a vibrant, eclectic metropolis with modern luxuries, natural wonders and a frontier spirit. The diversity of the city's residents means a there are always a multitude of arts and cultural activities, dining options and events. Summer brings sunny days – and sunny nights – and mild temperatures. Many travelers sailing on a cruise from Seward fly into Anchorage and travel to the cruise ship in Seward by car, train or bus. Consider spending extra time in Anchorage pre- or post-cruise to take advantage of the all the city has to offer.
Icy Strait Point (Day 9)

Icy Strait Point offers something for every traveler. Extreme adventurers can explore the beautiful wilderness by going mountain biking, ocean kayaking, alpine hiking or deep-sea fishing. Those seeking a more relaxed adventure can watch a Native dance performance, learn about the town’s historic cannery at the museum or shop for arts and crafts.
Glacier Bay (Day 10)

Wrangell (Day 11)

Wrangell is one of the oldest towns in Alaska and the only place in Alaska to have been ruled by the Russians, British and Americans. Prehistoric rock carvings or petroglyphs, dating as early as 8,000 years ago, have been found here. All this and more makes Wrangell a great place to get lost in Alaskan history.
Ketchikan (Day 12)

Ketchikan was originally founded as a Native American fishery before growing during the 1898 Gold Rush to the Klondike. Much of the town's colorful past is still evident, both in the city center and especially in the nearby Native American villages, where visitors will be enchanted by colorfully carved totem poles and the fascinating legends that surround them.
Prince Rupert (Day 13)

Located on Kaien Island in British Columbia's far north, Prince Rupert is both a commercial center and a traditional fishing village. In fact, many of the city's restaurants, shops and galleries are housed in the pioneer buildings of its early days. Beyond the city limits, rugged coasts, sandy beaches, rain forests and mountains collide to form some of the most dynamic landscapes in the Northwest.
