Vista Class - the largest HAL ships ever built
At 85,000 tons, Holland America's "Project Vista" series of premium ships are the largest ever built for the company. They also boast a passenger space ratio of 46, keeping the company firmly placed as the leader in
premium cruising.
The Vista-class ships feature innovative "exterior elevators," located on both sides of the vessel and vertically transversing 10 decks, providing guests with panoramic sea views. The ships also include a
wide range of spacious accommodation categories. About 85 percent
of the staterooms feature an ocean view, with approximately 80
percent of those offering private verandahs.
The 951-ft-long ships build upon the hallmarks of the Holland
America brand, displaying extensive multi-million-dollar art collections
and a signature Waterford Crystal centerpiece in the ship's atrium.
The vessels feature numerous dining options, from elegant full-service
meals to casual Lido service and an upscale gourmet restaurant. The
ships also will continue other trademark features of Holland America
ships, including the Explorers Lounge, Ocean Bar, an exterior covered
promenade deck encircling the entire ship, a large Lido pool with a
retractable dome, and Holland America's signature "Crow's Nest"
observation lounge.
