De Nieuw Amsterdam is een modern schip uit 2010 en de tweede uit de Signature-klasse. Het schip brengt een ode aan de geschiedenis en glamour van New York City en daarmee ook het vroegere Nieuw Amsterdam. Het schip is gedoopt in juli 2010 door H.M. koningin Máxima der Nederlanden. Het ruime klassieke schip is gevuld met een schitterende kunstcollectie, waaronder antieke stukken van Nederlandse kunstenaars en nieuwe werken van befaamde kunstenaars zoals Andy Warhol en Roy Lichtenstein. De geschatte waarde van deze collectie is ruim $3 miljoen.

Op de Nieuw Amsterdam heeft u verschillende mogelijkheden om te dineren. De Pinnacle Grill serveert Noord-Amerikaanse gerechten. Hiervoor is een toeslag vereist. Dit geldt ook voor het Tamarind, waar u kunt genieten van exotische gerechten uit Zuidoost-Azië, China en Japan. Voor Italiaanse salades en pizza’s kunt u terecht bij New York Pizza.

Nieuw Amsterdam Activities

nieuw amsterdam cruise schedule

Entertainment & Activities

Every night of your cruise there will be at least one live performance (usually a main seating show followed by an encore performance) in the Mainstage theater. The theater spans three levels -- Decks 1, 2 and 3 -- in comfortable tiered theater seats fanned out around a majestic-looking stage, and there was never any problem finding a good seat. Performances range from comedians and jugglers to traditional singer-and-dancer shows supplemented with stage special effects from giant video screens.

These shows don't have the high production value of big-ship cruise lines -- there aren't any pyrotechnics or a lot of aerial tricks. The performances are best viewed as a supplement to the other great evening entertainment elsewhere on the ship. There are also shows you might not expect to see on a cruise: One evening the Filipino crew members performed a homespun talent show of songs and dances; on another night, orchestra players performed the score to footage from BBC's wildlife documentary "Planet Earth II." On the whole, these performances ran from mediocre to great -- with the comedian and juggler earning the most rave reviews around the ship the next day.

On select days of the voyage, Mainstage hosts bingo and is used to screen current films, so check the When & Where for listings of upcoming movies.

Your When & Where, a trifold guide delivered to your room nightly by your stateroom attendant, is a handy overview of all the day's events. We also highly recommend using the Navigator on your cellphone, which allows you to scan and select which events interest you, generating a personalized daily planner -- you can even preview all of the events for the full week of your cruise ahead of time.

Though the schedule doesn't include an overwhelming number of activities, chances are you'll find at least a couple of things that interest you each day. There are several branded activities, including "America's Test Kitchen," BBC Earth Experiences and O, The Oprah Magazine.

"America's Test Kitchen" transforms the B.B. King's Blues Club into a TV-ready cooking stage, complete with professional stove tops, ovens and prep space, as well as cameras that track and zoom in on the presenter. These events show passengers how to prepare a variety of items (with themes like "We Love Chocolate" and "Lunch for a Rainy Day") using often nontraditional but thoroughly tested techniques for cooking and baking. You'll also be provided with a recipe and a website for learning more.

O, The Oprah Magazine has lent its name to a series of onboard activities related to health and wellness, including an early morning yoga/mindfulness session, a book discussion and seminars on healthy eating. BBC Earth programs showcase groundbreaking nature documentaries and even the occasional trivia game.

A Microsoft Digital Workshop, which offers regularly scheduled classes on a variety of digital photography and Microsoft products (such as OneNote, Cortana and Windows 10), is offered up to six times daily and was always well attended.

Explorations Central (EXC) is another great source of onboard enrichment -- the EXC guides give interesting talks throughout the cruise on everything from the history of Nieuw Amsterdam to the legends and lore of pirates in the Caribbean.

One of Nieuw Amsterdam's greatest strengths is the Music Walk on Deck 2, where you'll be treated to a variety of live music from the early evening hours to late into the night. If you're a classical music fan, you'll want to check out Lincoln Center Live, where a quintet of classical musicians performs chamber music. Each night features performances with different themes: "Piaf to Peanuts," "Bernstein to Buble" and "La Musica Latina." The performance space was updated in December 2017 and features lovely acoustics.

Billboard Onboard is another new addition to Nieuw Amsterdam. The sleek, modern stylings of the lounge, with plentiful comfortable seating organized around a bar and stage with dueling pianos, lends itself to a relaxed atmosphere where you join in the songs you know and love from the '50s to today. Most days will include three scheduled performance times with a loose theme, such as "Great Standards," "Hot 100" or "All Request." The two pianists have great chemistry and rapport with the audience, and their passion for music was apparent.

Finally, we can't overstate the quality of the B.B. King's All Stars, now an entertainment staple of the Holland America Line available on several ships in the fleet. Though this particular club -- with a small stage and modest number of seats and booths -- isn't as grandiose as the B.B. King clubs on other ships in the line, the caliber of entertainment brings down the house. If the three evening sets of blues were the only form of entertainment we received during the entire cruise, it would have been enough. More often than not, you'd be hard-pressed to find a good seat if you showed up late -- and forget about a space on the dance floor on popular nights. This was THE place to be in the evenings for standing ovation-inspiring covers of Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and, of course, B.B. King. And, if you couldn't get enough dancing in those three sets, there would be a DJ playing popular music in the same location later in the night.

The casino on Nieuw Amsterdam (Deck 2, across from Billboard Onboard), includes a few dozen slot machines, in addition to games such as blackjack, roulette, craps, Texas Hold'em, plus regular bingo tournaments.

Nieuw Amsterdam Bars and Lounges

Explorer's Lounge (Deck 2): Located directly across from a stunning mural of New York City (formerly called Nieuw Amsterdam), this lounge is a favorite among classical music fans because of its proximity to Lincoln Center Stage. During the day, there are occasional spa-themed talks here on topics like acupuncture.

Pinnacle Bar (Deck 2): This warm wood-toned bar offers an excellent wine selection and hosts Sip & Savor, a great wine tasting event that pairs a different food with a specially selected wine pairing each day for a $5 fee. During the day, you might find the occasional talk hosted by the spa or jewelry team.

Gallery Bar (Deck 2): One of our personal favorites, this newer bar is tucked behind the casino and generally doesn't get a lot of traffic. Its hip ambiance, with funky mismatched portraits and cloche lamps, plus a beverage menu from celebrity mixologist Dale DeGroff (including an epic spiced daiquiri, hand-shaken Cuban mojito and frosty chocolate mint buzz) make it a fun place to spend a few hours. This bar sets the stage for evening trivia, O's Reading Room book discussions and also singles meet-ups throughout the cruise.

Ocean Bar (Deck 3): This elegant bar is located in the atrium area near Pinnacle Grill and makes an ideal place for a predinner cocktail. A solo pianist plays here in the evening.

Sea View Bar (Deck 9): If you're hanging out at the aft pool area, this bar is ideally located for a deck drink. Daily specials are posted on a board at the bar, and wait staff will deliver your drinks to your spot in the sun (or shade).

Lido Bar (Deck 9): This bar is located right at the main pool and features beautiful silver mermaid tail-shaped chairs organized around the counter. Order from the bartender or have a waiter deliver your frosty cocktail to your lounge by the pool.

Tamarind Bar (Deck 11): This Asian-inspired bar is tucked away next to the Tamarind restaurant, which makes it feel more exclusive than other bars throughout the ship. Order a saketini and enjoy the beautiful ocean views. The bar hosts martini and premium wine sampling events and also group meet-ups.

Explorations Cafe (Deck 11): Formerly called the Crow's Nest, this area is a bit of a hidden gem on the ship, but certainly one of the most scenic. Sip some gourmet coffee or enjoy a little something extra while you take in the panoramic view at the top of ship.

Nieuw Amsterdam Outside Recreation

There are two main pool areas on Nieuw Amsterdam: the Lido Pool, considered the "main pool" at midship, and the Sea View Pool, which is for adults only and located at the back of the ship.

The Lido Pool, featuring three hot tubs and a water feature, has a limited number of padded deck chairs arranged around it, with dining tables and chairs at the outer areas. There are also extra-fee cabanas available by reservation on the right-hand side of the ship. It can be hard to snag a chair here, particularly on busy sea days, and this area is occasionally noisy due to the amount of foot traffic. There is a retractable roof over this pool so it can be used even in inclement weather.

The Sea View Pool area includes two hot tubs and a large soaking ledge for passengers who just want to cool off and not swim. There are a larger number of non-padded deck chairs available here, and this area is a bit quieter than the Lido area, but there isn't a ton of shade to be had. There are a handful of umbrellas if you can snag a spot under one.

Up for a little friendly competition? Passengers can choose from Ping-Pong at the Lido Pool area, or a sports court on Deck 11, aft, which includes a basketball/volleyball court covered with netting to prevent lost balls.

Passengers can reserve a cabana space at The Retreat on Deck 11, forward, which is exclusively for paying cruisers. The daily fee includes the use of a private cabana in the quiet area, a catered lunch as well as complimentary Champagne. The charge is $75 for port days and $120 for sea days; Lido cabanas (the ones by the main pool) -- which do not include Champagne -- are $50 and $95. There are several padded lounge chairs covered with soft terry and plush towels here, as well. If you want to reserve these, you can do so through guest services or by inquiring with the bar staff, but do it as soon as possible (or even before your cruise), as they do book up quickly.

In our quest for a fee-free, quiet and partially shaded lounge area, we stumbled upon Deck 12, forward, which can be a bit challenging to get to (take the outside stairs from Deck 10). There were never more than a couple people here, and it was very peaceful.

Nieuw Amsterdam Services

Nieuw Amsterdam has one of the most inviting and visually pleasing library/game spaces we've seen on a cruise ship. Make your way to Deck 11, forward, where the cruise line has placed the EXC desk (the shore excursions team), an appealing small library of current books and various board games in a space that gives you a great view from the Crow's Nest. There are also interactive maps that allow you to see where you are along the route and take quizzes that crowdsource where passengers are from, favorite foods, etc. and display them on a digital map.

This is also the space where you can listen to lectures from the EXC staff, book an excursion (though this is also easily done on the Navigator app) or grab a cup of coffee or a drink from the Exploration's Cafe.

There are a variety of conference rooms located on Deck 3, and religious services are held here, including a Catholic mass every day, plus the occasional game of Party Bridge.

You'll find a small collection of shops on Deck 3, midship, including Merabella, a high-end jewelry boutique, as well as shops with Oprah-branded items, perfume, clothing, souvenirs and sundries.

The Art Gallery is located on Deck 2, aft; the Photo Gallery is on Deck 3, aft; and Microsoft Digital Workshop is located on Deck 2, aft. Guest services is on Deck 1, aft, and there are kiosks located nearby for printing your statement or booking a shore excursion.

There is no self-service laundry, but you can pay a per-item fee to have clothes laundered.

Wi-Fi access runs on the slower side. The fee is 75 cents per minute or you can purchase a discounted package (500 minutes costs $175).

Spa & Fitness

The Greenhouse Spa and Salon is a retreat space where you are greeted by the soothing sounds of trickling water on Deck 9, forward, behind the Fitness Center. Along with hot stone massage ($149 to $229), the spa also offers treatments you might not find stateside, like a Thai Herbal Poultice Massage ($195) or the Elemis Aroma Spa Seaweed Massage ($195 for 75 minutes or $259 for 100 minutes), which includes two separate body wraps (one seaweed, one foil), during which you are cozily enveloped in a weighted blanket while relaxing on a heated water table, followed by a full body massage. Men's services include an Elemis Pro-Collagen Grooming Treatment with Shave ($95) or an Elemis Urban Cleanse Facial ($129).

There is a fee-based Greenhouse Retreat with four "monsoon" showers, a thalassotherapy pool (also known as a hydropool) and warm ceramic-tiled lounge chairs and saunas. You can purchase a pass that grants you access for the cruise (about $249 for two people for a seven-night cruise).

The spa also frequently offers lectures promoting its medi-spa services. The salon offers manicures, pedicures, tooth whitening and blowouts with haircuts (from $175). We recommend taking a tour of the spa on the first day to check out the treatment rooms, get a feel for the offerings and maybe scoop up a deal. You can also try asking for a discount when you book your appointment -- often if you book a longer treatment, they will give you a deal. The spa also offers stepped discounts for multiple services -- for example, 10 percent off your first treatment, 20 percent off your second and 30 percent off your third when you book three at once.

Located on Deck 9, forward, the Fitness Center is a fairly basic, no-frills gym with a variety of weight machines, treadmills (overlooking the water), stationary bikes, free weights and a small area for group fitness classes (paid classes for indoor cycling, yoga, etc. are $12). Hours are generally 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and the minimum age for use is 16. Our favorite thing about the gym: the chilled rolled towels available from the refrigerator near the door -- so refreshing after a workout.

Many people walk on the track on Deck 3 (three laps equal 1 mile), but jogging is not permitted there. A smaller jogging track is located on Deck 10, where four laps equal 1 mile.

Though perhaps not as family-focused as other cruise lines, passengers with kids are more likely to cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam during school break and holiday times, and the ship is equipped with several spaces designed for various age groups. If you happen to be traveling with your children during a less-busy time, your children might enjoy the more personal attention from the staff members in Club HAL, as is frequently the case.

Infants must be at least 6 months old by embarkation in order to sail; in the case of transatlantic and remote itineraries with more than two at-sea days, the minimum age is 12 months old.

The cruise line has a policy that restricts children from wearing any diapers in the pool (including swim diapers), so they must be toilet trained in order to swim. The Lido Pool is for families, but the Sea View Pool is restricted to adults.

There is a special kids' room service menu which includes an "Explorer's Quesadilla," "Home Run Hot Dog," "Chicken Clucks," PB&J and chocolate chip cookies.

Club Hal offers onboard programing for kids ages 3 to 17, staffed by child care professionals. The hours vary based on the number of kids onboard and staffing, but there are generally activities planned from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a break for lunch. On port days, parents can sign up in advance to send their kids to Club HAL and lunch will be served to the children. Extended care hours are available after 10 p.m. for a $5-per-hour fee. Babysitting may be available outside of these hours -- check with guest services to see if it's available on your cruise.

There are separate areas on Deck 10 for kids ages 3 to 6 and tweens, 7 to 12. Children must be completely toilet trained in order to participate.

The kids area is decorated with a brightly colored oversized paint bucket and giant pencils. The tweens area includes a large taxi cab parked in the room and large television screens. The sign-in/out policy involves a designated password selected by the child's parent or guardian (only children 13 and up can sign themselves in and out).

Daily scheduled activities for kids include games like "Funky Freeze Dance," Candyland and a "Ships Ahoy Pirate Treasure Hunt." Tweens at Club HAL enjoy Nukeball and Xbox tournaments, as well a variety of arts and crafts, such as making vacation photo frames.

Teens ages 13 to 17 are able to come and go from the space called The Loft; there is no sign-in/out procedure for this age group. Inside this area on Deck 10, there are lots of areas to sit and hang out on the comfy couches and lounge areas, plus a disco area and video editing equipment.

As part of the regularly scheduled activities, they enjoy mocktail parties, karaoke nights, trivia contests and teen-versus-staff volleyball games.

Hellevoetsluis (Netherlands South Holland)

Cruise port schedule, live map, terminals, news.

Region Europe Rivers

Local Time 2024-03-28 10:16

Port Hellevoetsluis cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Hellevoetsluis, Netherlands South Holland. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Hellevoetsluis is a port town in The Netherlands' South Holland province (Voorne aan Zee municipality on Voorne-Putten Island) with population around 40,000.

Hellevoetsluis is on the Haringvliet (a large inlet and an important estuary of the Rhine-Meuse Delta). The new Voorne aan Zee municipality was formed in 2023 as a merger of two former municipalities (Brielle and Westvoorne).

As a cruise port, Hellevoetsluis was introduced in 2023 and included in the schedule of the German company Phoenix Reisen with its riverboat MS Viola .

The next table shows AmaWaterways ' 7-night/8-day "Best of Holland and Belgium" river cruise itinerary introduced by the company in summer 2024.

Prices started from US$3400 per person.

During the Dutch Revolt (aka Eighty Year's War/1568-1648) Hellevoetsluis was developed as a major naval port by the Admiralty of Rotterdam (one of the Dutch Republic's five admiralties - together with Amsterdam, Friesland, Noorderkwartier, and Zeeland). Hellevoetsluis Harbour was a large land-enclosed (within a fortress and canal-accessed) waterway, with dockyard facilities and with the capacity to accommodate Rotterdam/s entire fleet.

In the 17th century, the town grew and became the homeport for Holland's entire naval fleet (of warships). As the fortification of the port continued through the years, Hellevoetsluis became a fortified "port town".

The 1830-completed Kanaal door Voorne (Voorne Canal) linked Hellevoetsluis with Nieuwesluis and made the town an outport of the City of Rotterdam. Together with the shipping industry the town also grew and prospered. However, cargo shipping started to decline in the late-19th/early-20th century, as ocean-going vessels grew in volume/size and the larger Nieuwe Waterweg ship canal was built (1872-opened, length 20 km/12 mi) connecting Scheur River (around Rozenburg Island in the Rhine-Meuse Delta) to the North Sea (at Hook of Holland). Nieuwe Waterweg eventually made the Voorne Canal redundant, Hellevoetsluis Naval Base was eventually closed (in the 1930s relocated to Den Helder), the shipyard was also closed, and ~3/4th of the old town was destroyed in 1944 (during World War II/1939-45) by the Germans. Following the war, the town was rebuilt and now most of its work force are commuters serving businesses in Europoort (aka Eurogate/a territory comprising Port Rotterdam and its adjoining industrial areas) and Rotterdam City itself.

The town is very popular among domestic tourists for its numerous and diverse shops, ranging from small stores to the De Struytse Hoeck shopping mall (grouping 120+ stores). When the Haringvliet dam/locks were built in November 1971 (cutting the direct access of the rivers Rhine and Meuse to the North Sea), Haringvliet became a freshwater reservoir attracting tourists with activities like surfing and sailing.

There are also extensive boating and recreation facilities (including 2000+ yacht slots/moorings spread over 5 harbors) making Hellevoetsluis one of Holland's largest centers for watersports and popular annual events. Among those are the Vestingdagen (Fortress Days festival held in August each year) and the Dutch Classic Yacht Regatta (held every two years).

The 1806-built Hellevoetsluis Dry Dock is a revolutionary (still operational) facility specializing in shipbuilding and repairs.

Last Updated: 16 June 2023.

I have updated the schedule as much as I can.  However changes in between the monthly updates are not always reflected tin the companies schedules.

Part I was published on 30 January 2023. Part II was published on 18 April 2023, the birthday of our company. Part III is currently in progress and together with part , IV and V should all by out before Christmas.

Captain Scott was amazing took the time to go through his career starting with the Union Steamship Co. NZ. His random act of kindness will never be forgotten by both my wife and I whilst on a Caribbean cruise, wonderful PR.

It’s as good as filling in the blanks on the “Current Captains and their schedules” blog sub directory, Captain! How nice to know a little more about Captain Rens van Eerten who also had been in the flying business for a short while. Did you know that, Captain? I testify that he flew at the speed of light when I saw him come back to Vancouver one Alaska season with 4 stripes on his epaulette instead of 3. Next thing I saw in the HAL blog is that he had 5 stripes on his shoulders! Is he holding up well, Captain after his travel at the speed of light? And, may I please one more time, Captain?? It is too tempting to pass on this opportunity … Have you been blogging since 2004 or thereabouts?

November 17, 2015 at 3:11 pm

I started in March 2007, but first for a magazine called the Avid Cruiser. Then Holland America pulled me in house. All the blogs are in the archives, right from the beginning.

Best regards Capt. Albert

Will you still be on the Westerdam on the 5 Dec 2015 cruise? Enjoy every one of your posts. They are so informative and give insight to things that most passengers do not know.

November 19, 2015 at 5:15 pm

Yes I will be, see the response to the email of your wife.

Hi Captain Albert, I am still enjoying your daily blog and it makes me feel as if I am travelling with you.

I , all being well , will be joining Rotterdam on 31 January 16 for cruise to Singapore. Looking forward to the experience as have previously sailed on Amsterdam.

Are you able to advise me as a matter of interest who will be the Master of Rotterdam.

November 27, 2015 at 4:02 pm

Thank your continious support.

If nothing changes then the captain should be Marco Carsjens. Together with Capt. Hans Mateboer he is one of the two regular captains of the ship.

Safe sailing.

December 3, 2015 at 9:46 am

Hi Captain Albert, thanks for the information. Time is now running down fast for me as it is only 59 days before I embark on Rotterdam. This means 56 days before I leave Cape Town for Dubai. Really looking forward to the cruise and visiting the interesting destinations especially Yangon.

Thanks again for all the most informative blogs, really part of my daily routine. Good sailing, Best regards

Hello Captain Albert , I always enjoy reading your blogs , the subjects you talk about and explain add so much to our total cruise experience . We will be back on the Volendam late September and all of October , could you tell me please who will be her Captain . Thank you , Tony

June 25, 2017 at 7:00 pm

Thank you for reading my blog. I had a schedule on my website but with the recent turbulence in the HAL Blog world, that section has not been restored yet. But if nothing changes: until 15 October it will be Capt. Frank van der Hoeven. after that it is not know yet, as we have another musical chair situation coming up with captains moving ship. If they revive that part of the blog again I will keep updating it. So please have a look late summer.

Hi Captain Albert, I have in my possession my father’s ‘Monsterboekje’ (Zeemansboek). It only has a few entries in it, but it states that he crewed on the Veendam as a Koksmaat/butcher 22 April 1938 and again 3 Juni 1938. I assume it was on the Rotterdam to New York route based on what he told us. Is there anywhere I can find out more about his service with HAL or other companies? A history of employment seems to indicate he was with HAL Sept 1937 to Feb 1940. His father also crewed on HAL, but I have no records of his service other than what my father mentioned years ago. In Sept this year I’ll be sailing on the Ms Nieuw Amsterdam from Vancouver, maybe one day I’ll get on the Veendam.

August 23, 2017 at 3:52 am

thank you for reading my blog. Yes it is possible to find out more things, as he will have a personal file which should be held in the HAL archives. If you can send me a email on [email protected] with the exact names of your father and grand father, as spelled in their seamans books or other hal paper work, and roughly their sailing dates, I can have a look for you during my next visit to the archives.

Together with my husband Henk Rosenquist I had a wonderful cruise on MS Koningsdam (stateroom 5028) leaving Rome October 3r. arriving in FLL on Oct. 18th. 2017. Our captain (mr. Darrin Bowland) informed us on the last day of some funny details regarding this trip (o.a. how many bottles of wine, pizza’s, toiletpaper etc.) were used. At that very moment we were on deck and I had no pen/paper to register all this info. On earlier cruises we found this info on the day of departure in our cabin. As I am in the process of making a digital photoalbum of this unforgettable journey I hope you can inform me about as much info as possible. Thank you very much. With kind regards Maria Rosenquist-Veen.

As of today I have not found Sybe de Boer’s assignment. I will be on the Prinsendam March 12 through May 5, 2018. I would love to meet you as I enjoy your daily descriptions of all the different ports. Already signed up for Antartic 80 day trip in 2019. Just not read your article on the Panama Canal, going on that cruise Dec. 20 thru Jan 4 in a few days. Thanks

With our cruise to the Pacific on the Noordam ending on March 28 we will complete six cruises with Holland America, the only line we have cruised with. For four of those six cruises we will have had Captain Peter Bos. I can already hear him saying “Wash those hands!” I know they all say it, but no one can say it quite as he does. Although we only catch a glimpse of the captain occasionally, and may hear him speak to a group on just a couple of occasions, we like him as Captain and are looking forward to seeing (or at least hearing) him again.

April 1, 2018 at 2:56 am

Being on the last cruise captained by Peter Bos was a great pleasure.

I enjoy reading about whatever Captain may be guiding the ship that I will sail on, but I can’t find this one. Captain Arno Jutten 11 Augustus 208 – 15 October 2018. We will be on the Maasdam, joining in Montreal on August 18, 2018. It would be interesting to know something about him. We have sailed with Holland America many times beginning in summer 2000 on the Statendam, which we learned was her last season before being sent elsewhere. Now we are pleased that this fall our arrival in Fort Lauderdale on the Maasdam will complete a circumnavigation of North America for us. Last summer we were lucky to traverse the Northwest Passage (with a competitor), thus making this circumnavigation possible.

In 2007 we were on the Veendam’s spring repositioning from Ft. Lauderdale to Venice, which I believe was the occasion of your first blog. It was fun to read about our trip when got home, from a different perspective.

April 15, 2018 at 7:30 pm

Your wish is my command and I have uploaded a short bio under Current Captains. A more elaborate Biography will come when I sail with Captain Arno, which should be sometime next year.

Geachte Captain Schoonderbeek, bij toeval ontdekte ik Uw blog aangaande de actuele plaatsing van HAL kapiteins op de verschillende HAL schepen. Al geruime tijd zoek ik het schip waarop kapitein Emiel de Vries het bevel voert. Wij kennen hem als een zeer innemend iemand en volmaakt gastheer tijdens de “doop-reis” van de Koningsdam. Wij weten dat er een confrontatie is geweest met zijn uiterst sympathieke echtgenote en een passagiere die regelmatig volstrekt ongepast gedrag vertoonde tijdens deze reis en meerdere malen ook met andere passagiers conflicteerde. Wij willen al langer een reis boeken en zoeken dan steeds het schip waarop kapitein de Vries het bevel voert. Dit is niet gelukt en onze vrees is dat hij het slachtoffer is geworden van de zeer onaangename situatie waaraan hij en zijn lieftallige echtgenote part noch deel had. Hierin past de situatie dat hij thans in Seattle een “kantoorfunctie” heeft, maar ik hoop van niet!!

February 9, 2020 at 8:50 pm

Mijn dank voor de interesse voor mijn blog.

Kapitein Emiel besloot verleden jaar om een positie op kantoor tenemen, om wat meer thuis te zijn met de opgroeiende familie. Dus voor de komende tijd is hij niet meer op de schepen te vinden. De situatie die u beschrijft heeft daar gelukkig niets mee vandoen. We komen als kapiteins in zoveel vreemde en bizarre situaties terecht, met leuke, nare, vreemde en exentrieke mensen dat de rederij altijd aan de kant van de kapitein zal staan. Hopeluk vindt U een alsnog een cruise die naar genoegen zal bevallen.

Greetings Captain!

Would you (could you) confirm that Captain Harm-Jan Arnold will be the Master on the ms Rotterdam for the Voyage of the Vikings (July 18th – August 25th, 2018)? I am assigned as the priest/chaplain for that cruise. I have a question for the good Captain and Master. Would it be proper for me to contact him by e-mail? And if so, would you be able to assist me with his correct e-mail address?

I enjoy following you on your travels via your blog.

Safe travels and God speed, (Fr.) Roman

I love reading your blog. Glad to see you’re back for a while. Is Captain Van Der Loo still around? He was the Captain on both of my Oosterdam cruises in 2008 and in 2011.

February 12, 2019 at 12:23 am

Where is Captain John Scott? (He doesn’t appear to be on the Eurodam anymore, or anywhere on your list.)

Who will be the Captain of the Zuiderdam from April 2019-June 2019?

February 18, 2019 at 12:14 pm

Good morning

thank you for reading my blog.

Captain Scott is on leave, and I do not have his next sailing dates yet, hence the listing is incomplete.

On the Zuiderdam you will have Capt. Wouter van Hoogdalem.

February 26, 2019 at 3:23 am

Thank you for the information on Captain Scott & Captain Wouter van Hoogdalem.

We enjoy reading your blog. You are currently on the Zuiderdam sailing on the same cruise that we will be doing in April ( plus a couple of more on a back-to-back cruise). It is interesting reading about the cruise we will be on before we’re on it! (We learned that for us to go through the locks going both ways, we need to stay on the ship & not get off on a tender.) Thank You!

April 15, 2019 at 1:47 pm

Capt. Wouter van Hoogdalem is my favorite Captain. Friendly, and so charming.

Agreed! We love him!

At the moment I can only update who is currently on board. so I am waiting for the future schedules to be listed again in our internal system and as soon as that happens, you will get the whole thing again.

March 21, 2019 at 11:50 pm

Yes. I am waiting for the newest assignments. Anxious about the July 30 trip “Voyage of the Vikings”, and also back on the Nieuw Statendam middle of October. Thanks (you do a great job my friend)

Hello Captain On my 31st Wedding Anniversary my wife and I will be on MS Volendam on the penultimate day of our first Alaskan Cruise . My wife’s maiden / family name was CURME and I understand that the Curme Islands AND Ray Rock are located in Desolation Sound. Can you please let me know if ( assuming we are standing in the right place on deck ) we will be able to see either or both sites from MS Volendam . It would be a wonderful surprise particularly for Paulette , my wife , if she could see the Curme Islands and ( I think ) an added bonus if she can see how close they are to Ray Rock – A twinning that was obviously preordained in the mists of time.

Your reply to this inquiry is eagerly anticipated and will be greatly appreciated .Thank you once again . Ray John

May 19, 2019 at 10:00 pm

Unfortunately you will not be able to see the islands. If you do a google search for the Curme Islands and then click on the map which will appear then you can see that these little islands are obscured by Mink island which in turn is obscured by some other islands. For the exact time, you have to listen to the announcements of the captain. He normally announces what time the ship goes through Seymour Narrows. Northbound you will then pass the area 90 minutes before that time and southbound approx. at the same time, maybe a little bit earlier. Northbound on the starboard side, Southbound on the portside.

I hope this helps, sorry to dissapoint you but I hope that you will have a wonderful cruise and congratulations with you anniversary.

July 23, 2019 at 5:36 pm

Hello Captain Albert, I noticed that the newly promoted Captain Paul Adams (he was on the Eurodam for a short while as Staff Captain while we were on board) has not been assigned to any of the ships. Has he transferred to another cruise line in our bloc ?

July 24, 2019 at 12:29 am

No he is on leave, and will then return to the Staff Captains function waiting for the next opening. We just retired the Prinsendam and one cndaptain from there has to be re-assigned (Captain Schuchman) and our last captain on loan has returned from P&O Australia and is now also assigned to the HAL Fleet. So Paul is in the waiting room.

July 24, 2019 at 5:27 pm

Of the 9 cruises I’ve done with HAL I can remember the captain I sailed with on all but one of them. Is it possible to find out who was the captain of the Eurodam on 1 December 2013?

August 11, 2019 at 4:43 pm

the captain who was on board on 01 Dec. 2013 on the Eurodam was Captain Emiel de Vries.

best regards

August 12, 2019 at 5:14 pm

Thank you Captain Albert.

I do remember that you were our captain on the Statendam for a Panama Canal transit in October 2012. We had the honor of sitting at your table for a luncheon on one occasion, and it was a most enjoyable experience, as was the entire voyage.

We are sailing on the Zuiderdam this coming October, which if nothing changes should be under the command of Captain van Hoogdalem. I am looking forward to meeting him.

Who will be captain on Zaandam for the 12/18/20 sailing Buenos Aires to San Antonio?

August 13, 2019 at 8:32 am

This is a difficult one as it is close to Christmas and the captains might to decided a adjustment at the last minute, also due to travel. At the moment you should have as your captain, Ane Smit, but it could be Chris Norman as the sailing is just on the edge of two contracts. Please have a look in October when I have the latest schedules.

August 13, 2019 at 1:12 pm

I find no mention of Captain Dag Dvergastein (I think I’m spelling that correctly). We did a transatlantic crossing on the Prinsendam in 2015 under the command of Captain Tim Roberts, and Captain Dvergastein was also onboard for a handover that was to take place on our arrival in Ft. Lauderdale. Captain Roberts did us the honor of inviting us to the captain’s table one evening, where we had the double honor of dining with both captains, and had interesting and enjoyable conversations with them both.

You mention that Capt. Roberts has since been assigned to Seabourn. Has Captain Dvergastein also been assigned elsewhere, or is he on leave and returning to the HAL fleet?

August 14, 2019 at 1:13 pm

With the end of the Prinsendam Captain Dag decided to leave Holland America. He is currently captain on the Europa of Hapag Lloyd.

Greetings Sir!

Having just returned from a cruise of Alaska’s Inside Passage aboard the Nieuw Amsterdam on 17 August, I cannot adequately express my appreciation for the mind-bending logistics involved behind the scenes, or for the crew’s commitment to excellence in all they do. My sincerest gratitude. I would have loved to have been able to access information regarding the history of HAL available while onboard, as well as more technical information about the basics of the ship’s technology (ie, propulsion and guidance systems). Perhaps these could be made available as reading material via the Navigator app? I found myself fascinated with this incredible vessel and wanting to know more about her from every point of view. Kind Regards, Kaelie Engelhart

August 23, 2019 at 7:55 am

Thank you for your kind words.

The blog is accessible while on board as there is a free link under the http://www.hollandamerica.com . It is called Holland America Line blog and my blog and historical information is a subdirectory of that. At home you can just type in Captainalbert.com and it will all come up/

September 1, 2019 at 2:29 am

We are a 5 Star Mariner & a 4 Star Mariner. We really enjoy your blog. You give us a lot of interesting information to read.

I’m cruising on the Eurodam, once again, to Alaska on 9/21/2019, still no Captain listed for that cruise… Any ideas? Thank You!

September 3, 2019 at 4:25 pm

Dear Captain Albert, I know you well deserve your time off and I hope “the boss” isn’t working you too hard, but I do so miss your daily reportage of all things nautical. Back on board in October I think ? Kind regards Gerdina

Hello Captain Michiel Willems, My wife and I will be sailing to Alaska, on your ship, on the 8’th Sept.. Jackie and I are Ham radio operators. We are wondering, if you, might allow us to, use battery operated, low power radio’s on your ship. Or if there is a time, that we might be able too? Also, is it possible, to see the ship’s radio room, as radio communications is our hobby, and would greatly appreciate, your help and input. WE look forward to our, sailing with you! This is our first, cruise. Thank you, for your time.

September 12, 2019 at 3:55 pm

You are allowed to bring HAM radio’s on board. Your are NOT allowed to use them on board as they are not covered by a Dutch flag license. You are allowed to use them ashore in alaska provided that your HAM radio license is valid for alaska. the ships do not have radio rooms anymore, only GMDSS stations which are located on the bridge. So the best thing to do is either write a letter to the Captain to request a special visit or sign up for the Behind the Scenes tour.

Have a great cruise.

September 14, 2019 at 3:54 am

Hello Capt Albert. I have just returned from Voyage of the Vikings and somehow I am not getting recent information on your daily blog. Also I am now a member of Ancient Order of the Blue Nose and I have a certificate to prove it signed by Bart Vaartjes.

Captain Albert,

How would one go about getting permission from the captain of the Zuiderdam to operate low power ham radio while at sea ? I have seen where this has been allowed in the past but cannot get a clear approval from ships services.

Lance Wolken KG5QKK

November 12, 2019 at 4:35 pm

I can understand that ship services has an issue with a clear answer, simply because there is not one. Too many factors involved. 1. What license do you operate under. Is it domestic USA or domestic from another country, or do you have an international license? Because that will limit or increase where you can use the Ham radio. A USA license does not mean anything to anybody outside the USA Same as a Dutch or British license does not mean anything in the USA. 2. If you want to transmit from the ship, then your license needs to be acceptable under Dutch law as the ship flies the dutch flag. The captain can approve you bringing it on board, not using it. That is a Dutch license issue. 3. Many ports / places have a restriction on the power of the transmission and if caught the fines are quite hefty. 4. Many ports would not allow you walking ashore with it without you proving to them that you are allowed to do so. (International License with endorsement for the country you are visiting.)

Please review the above. If you think you comply with everything listed, then in principle you can take it on board as it is not a restricted item. Once on board you would have to obtain permission from the captain to use it, as it would not be a ships owned piece of equipment, and show the Dutch Law approval for the equipment

' src=

December 9, 2019 at 1:45 am

We will be cruising on the ms Zuiderdam 10-20 December, 2019. The captain listed is Captain Wouter van Hoogdalem, but there is no biography about him. Will this be added in the future?

December 9, 2019 at 5:34 pm

I certainly hope that there will be one and I keep pushing to get one. So in due course…………

Capt Albert

' src=

December 18, 2019 at 5:42 am

Why is there no bio for Darin Bowland? I see that he will be our captain on Koningsdam next month. Also, why do they have shorter contracts on that ship than on the others? Seems like many of them are only two months instead of three. Thanks for posting this, it is useful.

December 18, 2019 at 7:02 pm

For Captain Bowland, I do not have a bio for him yet, as I have not sailed with him yet, and I talked to each captain personally first/

For the schedules, each captain sails 6 months a year. So If they want to do 2-2 or 3-3 that is more or less up to themselves. Then they have to attend training and refresher courses and that takes up time as well. So the schedules can vary greatly.

Enjoy your cruise

' src=

January 13, 2020 at 4:24 pm

F YI, I was on Koningsdam last week and asked Captain Bowland about this. He said that he has met you several times. Also, he announced that he is leaving Koningsdam after this contract and moving to Nieuw Statendam. So I’m guessing you need to update the schedule for both of those ships.

He has an interesting history, worked for Royal and took out some of their new ships before moving to HAL 12 (?) years ago (I sense there may be some bad feelings with Royal). He is the only Canadian captain in HAL (maybe all of Carnival?) and was involved in the process redesign effort following the Costa Concordia disaster. Very nice guy.

January 13, 2020 at 5:46 pm

Thank you for your comment.

There is a complete “musical chair” happening going with several captains moving and at least one retiring. So I will update the schedule as soon as the ” dust has settled” and everybody has found their new pigeon hole.

December 22, 2019 at 1:52 am

Your Cruise and Travel Director n Jan. 2020 will be a Dutch Lady called Karlijn Verpalen.

Goodafternoon Captain, I was under the impression that Captain P.J. had gone in retirement, but recently I spotted him on video from Maasdam in January and also noticed him in your schedule. Will he continue to sail for HAL? I understand he currently is, or was the only Navy Reserve Captain, flying his special flag in port.

February 8, 2020 at 4:09 pm

Captain van Maurik spent some time at our training center and has now returned to sea. I think he will sail another year or so before retiring.

Dear Captain Albert:

I’m a longtime reader who greatly appreciates your wonderful blog! (And had the pleasure of hearing your excellent presentation as few years ago when you were guest speaker on our voyage.)

Q1: Did the Westerdam get her dry dock update last month?

Q2: Is Colin Jacob Westerdam Hotel Director now through June?

Many thanks!

February 9, 2020 at 7:08 pm

Colin Jacobs is scheduled to be on board from 06 March to 06 June. (but please remember our schedules are subject to extremely much change at times)

The Westerdam was in Dry dock from 04 Jan. to 16 Jan. 2020 in Singapore. But I do not know what was exactly done on board.

February 10, 2020 at 3:17 am

Always enjoy your blog, such vivid descriptions along with bits of other information. My attention was drawn to the Nieuw Statendam, Capt de Boer is scheduled for only 1 month March to April 2020. After that he is not scheduled that I can locate. Has he retired or do you have any further information. For the last 12 years I have sailed with him on the old Statendam. Thanks, Mary Beth Burns

February 10, 2020 at 9:26 pm

He is indeed not on the schedule at the moment, being on a long leave. As soon as I know what his next assignment is, I will update.

' src=

February 15, 2020 at 9:33 pm

Captain Albert very nice to receive this captain’s list and very helpful to figure out who is where. I am sure captain Vincent Smit will take some time off after his many attempts to dock his ship the Westerdam –what a story –we were watching it for days hoping that he could secure a port which he finally was bale to do in Cambodia. I am sure HAL and its corporate staff were involved in the outcome and glad that that saga ended without anyone contracting the disease.

What a nightmare this must be for the Princess still stuck in port. We are off to Hawaii/Tahiti and the Marquesas on 3/21/20 and hope that the disease does not spread any further. but I heard a few ports have stopped receiving cruise ships in French Caledonia, including Isles des Pins which is one of my favorite stops.

Anyway, thanks for your continued input, it was certainly a lot of fun when we met on the Zaandam last June and had some great dinners.

Thank you for reading my blog

Captain Jan Smit is currently serving as Staff Captain and is thus not on my current captain schedule. But when he pops up again, he will be on the list.

April 28, 2020 at 2:31 pm

Hello Captain Albert!

My name is Ryan. We got off the Koningsdam on the Nov. 24 2019 to Dec. 4 2019 cruise. I later realized you went off the ship the day we got on! We may be going on the Nieuw Statendam on Nov. 22 2020, is Karlijn going to be the cruise director, she was on the Koningsdam, and I heard somewhere she may be going to the Nieuw Statendam.

Thank you for a wonderful blog, by the way!

Hello Captain Albert, We are certainly missing your blog as you are missing your beloved oceans. What a state the world is in ! I do hope that you are keeping well and send you greetings! Kindest regards, Gerdina

Captain, how much notice do you think the teammembers will get when cruising actually is set to resume. With all the difficulty in getting the crew home, it seems like everybody on board will have to pitch in duri g the early going. Perhaps you will be our room steward on our Jan. 6 cruise to the Carribean. I hope it goes. I’ll even make my own bed if it’ll help. Bob T

October 4, 2020 at 2:56 pm

The company estimates that it will take at least a month, to get sufficient crew on board to provide the normal service. The question we can not answer is when the shore side protocols will allow for this to make it a smooth operation to get to the ship. I also hope to be back on the ships soon again, but theie are a lot of external factors which are really challenging.

A pleasant day Captain… Allow me to introduce myself. Im Rea Almaden from.the Philippines,just want to verify something from you hope you dont mind Sir. I just saw an ad in Facebook about a job opening in Holland America Line,and a certain Captain Friso Albert is the contact person saying he is the Recruiting Captain on the said line. He even sent me a copy of his company identification card. Just want to.make sure about this and hope you can enlighten me about this before i proceed with the application. He is using whatsapp as a media of our conversation and hiring process. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you very much.

October 15, 2020 at 11:57 am

Thank you for contacting me. This is a Scam. There is NO Captain Friso Albert who is involved in hiring. There is a captain Friso and there is a captain Albert, but not in combination and we are both at sea and not in de office. If you are looking for a job, please contact UPL in Manilla which is our hiring agent. I hope it will work out. Best regards Capt. albert

October 18, 2020 at 12:25 am

Hello Captain Albert, Here is hoping you are doing well and I am sure that you have long finished the “to do” list that was awaiting you upon your return home from seas. I much enjoyed reading your biography and noticed that you have written several books (one co-authored) Is there any chance these books are still obtainable ? I know it said one is still in print but goodness knows how to get one’s hand on a copy, through Amazon perhaps? I was sorry to hear that some of our officers are being let go, together with H.D.s and so on, down the line . I knew it was going to be inevitable, but it still hurts to hear it. My daughter Tessa and I have made several good friends among the crews. The airlines are suffering also and many of our Air Canada crews are laid-off (my late husband was a Captain with Air Canada, so it hits close to home.) His contemporaries are all long retired but I feel so badly for the younger fellows who trained so long in order to achieve their goals. Same of course with the cruise line officers and crews. Sad state of affairs, the whole world is in a mess. I hope I am not going to be too old to cruise once if and when operations will resume. All the best to you and kindest regards, Gerdina

October 26, 2021 at 6:09 am

Hello Captain Albert, any idea when the “present Captain list” will be updated and maintained again. Thanks a lot and really enjoy your readings!

October 26, 2021 at 6:26 pm

I have just done so, but it is extremely limited as HR planning still has to deal with a lot of challenges due to travel restrictions and other (Covid) issues.

October 29, 2021 at 10:16 pm

I feel so sorry for that due to the visum issue you couldnt join the Rotterdam maiden voyage. 2 years ago, when we met in Nov 2019 on the Kdam, you told me you were looking forward to it before your retirement … I hope you manage soon. I will travel on the Rdam end Nov, hopefully you can make it by then…

I love your biographies of the Current Captains. I will be on the Nieuw Amsterdam in November, but I do not see Jeroen van Donselaar’s biography. Can you provide any information? Thank you.

I also am looking forward to when you get your visa and can begin sailing again. Your talks on the ships are always so enjoyable.

November 14, 2021 at 11:07 am

just found your comment back in the spam. Captain Donselaar preferred not to have his biography published as he want to keep the life of his wife and two children private. And that is something I respect. I will try to change his mind ofcourse in the future.

November 10, 2021 at 3:06 am

Hello Captain Albert, I hope you are well. Could you tell me if Captain Vincent Smit has retired? I cannot see him on any of the ship assignments nor on the current Captains list. Thank you, Gerdina

November 14, 2021 at 11:05 am

thank you for your reading my blog and your comment, No captain Smit is still out there, but he is on leave at the moment. because we have more captains than ships at the moment, everybody goes on rotation and thus can I not give a date when he will return.

December 17, 2021 at 6:26 am

Hello again Captain Albert, My daughter and I were wondering whatever happened to Captain Michiel Willems? We sailed with him on the Zuiderdam in 2013. He was a most personable fellow and very attentive to his passengers. I remember he had a little “fender bender” in Vancouver a couple of years ago.

December 18, 2021 at 3:45 pm

Captain Willems is sailing on board the Zaandam at the moment. Although sailing is said too much as the ship is in Covid lay up in Corfu until April next year. but he is still around.

December 18, 2021 at 9:28 pm

Thank you for the update, glad he is still with the Company.

January 16, 2022 at 5:22 pm

Thank you for keeping this blog going Can I assume that Arno Jutten and Bart Vaartjes are on rotation What about Steve MacBeath? I had just sailed with him in October on Koningsdam

January 17, 2022 at 9:43 am

thank you for your comment

Capt. Arno Jutten is on leave. Capt Bart Vaartjes is on secondment to Seabourn and Capt. Steve Macbeath left the company last November.

Capt. albert

April 4, 2022 at 8:09 pm

Thanks for keeping this going. What is the situation with Captain Jeroen Schuchmann? Did Captain Steve MacBeath rejoin the company as I see him listed as a current Captain

' src=

April 5, 2022 at 8:50 pm

Thank you, Captain, for staring up the Present Captains List again. Always nice to know who is who on the ship we sail next. Would you know who will be replacing Captain Kan on the Koningsdam? Also, is Harm Arnold, formerly Staff Captain, still with HAL?

Hope you will be back to sailing soon.

April 7, 2022 at 7:36 pm

thank you for your comment. The April schedule just came in so I can give you answer. Captain Kan is scheduled to leave the Koningsdam on 28 April and Captain Henk Draper will take over.

As far as Harm Jan Arnold is concerned, he was on the schedule some time ago, but he has not popped up for a while, which is not unusual as with the fleet reduction the company is giving everybody extended leaves in the rotation schedule.

When I was 18 I went on an Alaskan cruise with family onboard the Veendam in 2005 in July and of course my family took photos with you in the MDR. I still have the photo and just realized it was you! I’ve been reading your blogs and never put two and two together until now!! Anyway, take care!!

Also, I will be returning to Alaska on a cruise onboard the Koningsdam with my husband!

Has Capt. Edward van Zanne retired from HAL? I have not seen him mentioned in a while. He was the second HAL captain I sailed with (as a passenger).

April 22, 2022 at 3:18 pm

Edward van Zaane has retired, ill.

April 27, 2022 at 7:47 pm

Captain Albert, I would love to see biographies of these 2 Captains: Captain Marek Ryszard Zoll Captain Mark Rowden I have sailed with both and thought they not only professional but personable and approachable. Thank you.

' src=

July 11, 2022 at 10:28 pm

Captain Bas van Dreumel was also captain in the Rotterdam in the 26 June till 10th July cruise. Was surprised because it was supposed to be captain Timmers. Love this info! Greets, Arenda

' src=

July 27, 2022 at 6:38 pm

Any idea where Captain Werner Timmers will be after July 31? Thanks

July 28, 2022 at 8:42 am

Good morning, thank you for your comment.

Captain Timmers and Captain van Dreumel are normally on a 3 month rotation, so in principle he wold be back on board 3 months after leaving. Although the dates might vary somewhat depending on what the two captains arrange among themselves.

August 22, 2022 at 5:34 pm

We will be sailing on the Noordam September 2 – October 2 and the Koningsdam from October 8 to 24 and would appreciate knowing who the Captains will be. You write a wonderfully interesting blog: I am learning a lot from it.

August 23, 2022 at 12:48 pm

thank you for your question. This is hard to say as Captain Mark Zoll (currently on board) is to go on leave on October 12 and Captain Mark Rowden is to take over. so depending on how the hand over is timed, you might see on or the other, or both. Enjoy your cruise, it is a very nice ship.

' src=

August 23, 2022 at 1:43 pm

Thanks for your help. Would you know about the Koningsdam from October 8?

August 24, 2022 at 5:29 pm

Captain Albert Thanks for your help. Much appreciated. Would you know who will be on the Koningsdam for the October 8 Hawaii cruise?

August 25, 2022 at 11:29 am

if nothing changes it should be Capt. Robert Jan Kan but as that wold be his last cruise before he goes on leave, I can not vouch for it.

' src=

September 15, 2022 at 4:50 pm

What are the dates that Captain Werner Timmers will be on the Rotterdam. We have sailed with him several times and he is the most passenger friendly captain we have ever sailed with. Looking forward to another cruise with him at the helm.

September 15, 2022 at 5:31 pm

Looking forward to another cruise with Captain Werner Timmers at the helm!

September 16, 2022 at 2:51 am

Do you know who will be the Captain on the Rotterdam for the October 30 Caribbean cruise

September 19, 2022 at 3:32 pm

thank you for you comment.

Please check the website again by October 5, when I have the next assignment schedule in.

December 23, 2022 at 7:10 pm

Merry Christmas, Captain. I am unable to find your Blog on HALBlog.com and notice that your website does not have the updated Captains’ Schedule. Could you let your readers know what is happening with your Blog? We miss reading your additions and updates.

Best wishes for 2023.

' src=

December 24, 2022 at 8:53 pm

Very much enjoyed sailing on Nieuw Statendam with Captain Noel Driscoll. His daily announcements were interesting, informative and even humorous! Apparently, his assignment ended the same day as our cruise because he is no longer listed on the Captain’s Schedule after December 17. We are booked to sail on Oosterdam in March 2023 and do not see Captain van Eerten on the list either. Can you provide an updated list so we can be informed of whom we are entrusting our lives to? Merry Christmas!

December 27, 2022 at 9:20 am

I had an updated list, and then it was was stuck in DRAFTS. But it is on line now. Captain Resn van Eerten will be on there, but he is only sailing 3 months a year on the ships, as together with Captain Jeroen Baijens he also rotates for lecturing through our training facility in Almere. Netherlands

January 27, 2023 at 10:14 pm

Thank you for your prompt reply (which I just now read)! We are excited to be sailing the 31 day South America cruise from BA to FLL. After some cancellations, it finally looks promising although the unrest in Peru is not good news. Do you have any history on Captain van Eerten that you could share? We hope that he may attend a Meet & Mingle with our group and would like to know a little bit about him.

August 18, 2023 at 12:45 pm

FYI Captain Bart is currently in command of Zuiderdam since August 8.

Congratulations on your retirement! I do, however, miss you blog.

October 13, 2023 at 5:16 pm

Thank you for your informative blog! We will be sailing on the Nieuw Statendam a few times over the next couple of years. Like many others that have commented above, we especially enjoy Captain Noel O’Driscoll. According to his “typical” schedule, he should have taken the helm of the Nieuw Statendam in mid-September after a 3 month vacation. But it is our understanding that another captain took over for Captain Eric Barhorst? Do you know if Captain O’Driscoll will return to the Nieuw Statendam and if so when?

' src=

December 21, 2023 at 3:46 am

Dear captain Albert,

Do you know what the next ship of Rens van Eerten will be? Thank you very much.

' src=

January 1, 2024 at 9:38 am

Hi Captain Albert,

Any chance to getting an update on the Captains list? We are sailing the Volendam soon and wonder if it is a Dutch Captain. (We’re Dutch 🤫).

Tucked into the corner of Prince William Sound, College Fjord is surrounded by over a dozen glaciers and is easily the equal of the more famous Glacier Bay.

These glaciers were named by the members of the 1899 Harriman Alaska Expedition.
