| | Built at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, Italy, the flagship ms Amsterdam sets the standard for their fleet of five-star cruise ships. At the heart of the ms Amsterdam is the Planeto Astrolabium, a specially commissioned signature sculpture suspended and soaring in a three-story atrium. Dutch heritage and tradition aboard the ms Amsterdam is clearly displayed in original Art Deco pieces that once graced the Nieuw Amsterdam of 1938. For a contemporary touch, works of the noted maritime artist Stephen Card adorn public spaces.With the capacity to carry 1,380 guests, the ms Amsterdam features 172 staterooms with verandahs. |
