Atrium

In 1609, the sailing vessel de Halve Maen (Half Moon) set

belonged to the Dutch East India Company. In honor of the rich seafaring
tradition that remains at the heart and soul of Holland America Line today,
a Waterford Crystal sculpture of the Halve Maen adorns the ms Westerdam's
colorful, welcoming atrium. |
