One of Holland America Line's beautiful R Class cruise ships, ms Amsterdam is an elegant mid-sized vessel that offers guests attentive service, gourmet cuisine, a variety of entertainment options, and fabulous itineraries throughout the world. This vessel, which was built in Italy, is the third ship to bear the name Amsterdam in Holland America's long history.

Among the many dining options available on this premium cruise ship is the two-story La Fontaine Dining Room, the ship's main dining room that features a multi-course menu on each night of the cruise. With Holland America Line's As You Wish® dining program, guests are able to choose (before the cruise) if they'd prefer to dine at La Fontaine in a traditional (assigned) or open dining format. Also on board ms Amsterdam is the upscale Pinnacle Grill, Canaletto (a casual Italian eatery), as well as the Lido Restaurant (which has a large buffet that's filled with wonderful international dishes, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner). Also available on all ms Amsterdam cruises is 24-hour room service, a convenient option that you can enjoy in the comfort and privacy of your suite or stateroom.

There is a great variety of entertainment venues and things to do on a ms Amsterdam cruise. For instance, Queen's Lounge is the ship's two-story main show lounge. This venue is home to a live performance on each evening of the cruise. Also on board this ship is a large casino, swimming pools, whirlpools, shopping arcade, many bars and lounges (such as Crow's Nest), as well as a full-service spa, beauty salon and fitness center.

Following her next refurbishment, ms Amsterdam will debut a number of Suite enhancements as part of a $300-million brand initiative. The main living area in each Suite will be refreshed with a new sofa, lounge chairs, carpet, headboard and more to bring a feeling of contemporary luxury to these accommodations. Electronic upgrades will feature new USB outlets added to the bed headboard, along with LED bedside lights, and fully interactive television system integrating movies on demand as well as daily programming. Suite bathrooms will also receive a designer makeover, featuring a new vanity area with new stone tops, modern faucets and under-mount sinks. Starting in January 2016, guests will also receive additional Suite amenities, which include superior bathrobes and slippers, binoculars for use during the voyage, an in-suite coffee and espresso machine and more!
