Your floating resort

The spectacular Nieuw Amsterdam gets its name from New York City, which used to be called this. Its theme inspired a brilliant design as well as an art collection valued at more than $3 million. One of Holland America's premium offerings it offers new features such as their exotic Silk Den Lounge and the innovative pan-Asian Tamarind restaurant. The ship is a destination in itself and takes you back to the golden age of cruising with glitz and glamour and upmarket music halls and restaurants.

Main Dining Room

The Dining Room is Nieuw Amsterdam’s elegant, full service spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Set across Decks 2 and 3, it serves changing multicourse menus of global and destination inspired dishes, from grilled salmon to vegetarian curry.

Choose flexible dining or a classic set sitting for dinner. Reservations are not required, though worth making if you have a preferred flexible time. Basic non alcoholic drinks are included, while alcoholic drinks and speciality coffees may cost extra.

Explorations Cafe

Need a quiet corner with a proper view? Explorations Café sits in the forward Crow’s Nest on Deck 11, where panoramic ocean views make a coffee break feel rather more purposeful.

Lido Marketplace

Lido Market is your easy answer when everyone fancies something different. On Deck 9, its staff served stations cover classic comfort food and international dishes, from carved meats and sandwiches to fresh pasta and house made desserts.

Dive-In

When the pool calls but lunch calls louder, Dive In on Deck 9 keeps things gloriously simple. This casual grill serves made to order burgers, Nathan’s all beef hot dogs and French fries, so you can grab a proper bite without straying far from your sun lounger.

Try The Cannonball, piled with Gouda, applewood smoked bacon and caramelised onions, or go Buffalo style with your fries. Burgers are cooked medium well unless you ask otherwise.

Tamarind

Dinner on Deck 11 gets a Pan Asian flourish at Tamarind, where Southeast Asian, Chinese and Japanese flavours meet in elegant fusion dishes. Handcrafted sushi, curries and wok seared lobster make this a very good reason to dress smart casual.
