Cruise ships · Holland America
Koningsdam
Holland America · Pinnacle Class
What it's like
- A big ship: steadier than most smaller ships, though you may feel some movement in rough water.
- About average room per guest for a cruise ship.
- Refreshed recently (2026), so it has many of the line's newest features.
- A kids' club for families, plus adults-only space for a quieter escape.
Highlights: The Music Walk (Rolling Stone Lounge, B.B. King’s Blues Club, Billboard Onboard), World Stage with 270-degree LED projection screens, Grand Dutch Café, and PPA pickleball courts.

General tips for any ship
- For the least motion, choose a cabin low and in the middle of the ship (midship), near the central elevators.
- For quiet, avoid cabins directly under the pool deck, buffet, theater or nightclub, and right beside the elevators or service areas.
- Cabins at the very front feel the most pitching in rough seas; cabins at the very back can feel some vibration from the engines.
- Some balcony cabins have partly blocked views (lifeboats, for example); the deck plan marks them, so check before you book.
For the exact layout, see the official deck plan for Koningsdam on Holland America's website ↗.
Sister ships
Built to the same design (Pinnacle Class), so they feel very similar on board:
