Experience heaven on the high seas!
Launching her maiden voyage in July of 2008, the ms Eurodam marks Holland America Line's
new Signature-class ships. The ms Eurodam furthers the evolution of our sophisticated mid-sized
ships with 11 passenger decks, a new topside Pan-Asian restaurant and lounge surrounded by
panoramic views, an Explorer's Lounge bar, a new Italian restaurant adjacent to the Lido, elegant
luxury jewelry boutique, new atrium bar area, an enhanced and reconfigured show lounge and a
new photographic and imaging center. On the technical side, the ms Eurodam features the latest
state-of-the-art navigation and safety systems. The ship is powered by six diesel generators and
propelled by the latest Azipod® propulsion technology.

Guests on the ms Eurodam will be able to "show and tell" their vacation memories through the
Digital Workshop powered by Windows®. Free workshops led by Microsoft-trained "techsperts"
will show even the most novice camera or computer user how to take better vacation photos,
make movies, edit pictures and create scrapbooks using a variety of Microsoft Windows and
Windows Live services. Guests will learn how to share all their digital memories through email,
blogging and social networking — so friends and family can see where they've been cruising
even before they return home.

Following in the Holland America Line tradition, the ms Eurodam features an exquisite art
collection based on the theme, "The Dutch Golden Age — An Inexhaustible Tradition".
Highlighting works by Dutch masters and contemporary artists, some of the pieces featured will
include 17th-century watercolor maps by famed cartographer Johannes Vingboons, photorealistic
oil paintings by artist Jan van 't Hoff and The Nightwatch, Two Minutes Later, a
contemporary reinterpretation of Rembrandt's famous painting.
