The first Holland America ship to carry the name Koningsdam, after Willem-Alexander, the first Dutch king in over a century.
Koningsdam is the first ship of Holland America Line's Pinnacle class, delivered by Fincantieri in Marghera on 31 March 2016. Her name, from the Dutch word for king, honours King Willem-Alexander, and Queen Máxima christened her in Rotterdam on 20 May 2016. She introduced the Music Walk and the music-inspired interiors by Tihany Design and Yran & Storbraaten later used on Nieuw Statendam and Rotterdam. After a refit in Freeport in March 2026, she sails Alaska from Vancouver in summer and Mexico, Hawaii and the Pacific coast from San Diego for the rest of the year.
