Holland America Line has named Ms Eurodam in Rotterdam, its founding city on July1st. The cruise ship was officially named by her Majesty Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands where guests gathered from all around the world to celebrate the event and join in the three day celebrations.
We are exceptionally honored to have Her Majesty Queen Beatrix as the godmother of this beautiful ship,” said Stein Kruse, president and chief executive officer, Holland America Line. “With tens of thousands of people coming out to see our newest ship, which will proudly fly the Dutch flag, it is really quite an emotional homecoming for all of us at Holland America Line.”
Ms Eurodam departs on July 5th on a ten-day round-trip from Copenhagen calling at around 8 destinations including Oslo, Newcastle Upon Tyne and Edinburgh. Following this Ms Eurodam will sail her first Transatlantic cruise, as well as a series of Canada sailings before finishing off the rest of 2008 with Caribbean cruises.
